Condolences to the family of Joanna and to MR BK on the loss of his long time friend.

Dental appt. vibes for DR VIXMOM today.

I would recommend that you get a microwave with at least 1100 watts of power......that's what most food packages list when they are suggesting their cooking times.

We have had many brands - and like DR JANE I usually buy mine because of size.....or sometimes color. Probably the best one we have had has been GE. The worst was Panasonic.

Nice reading about the visit of the DD. And congrats to MR BK on his $30!!

Good morning, all.

TOD:

I would say opera, but I am learning a lot right here on HHW.

I guess my second choice would be art.

I always had standalone microwave ovens, but now it's a built-in above the stove, and when I got that I just went with the brand that the stove was so they'd match.

A couple of years after having that one, something was wonky with the door handle. I forget what, exactly, but we eventually figured out that because it's right over the highest powered burner (it's a gas stove), the heat had gradually screwed up the handle. We chose its replacement (different brand) because its handle wasn't plastic. It's a lightweight metal that might feel warm to the touch now and then but it holds up just fine over that burner.

As for what power it is, or anything else about it, I haven't the slightest idea.

Maybe I'll pull out the manual and have a look.

Found it. Mine's only 1000 watts! We have failed to live up to DR Jrand70's recommendation. Drat!

Yes, sounds delightful.

And it's been years since I've won more than two or three bucks. Apparently this is not how the rich get rich.

Micro what-age?

It's a bit chilly.

TOD:I like DR Jrand70's choice.
I would like to learn more about art.

And horses.

And not necessarily in that order.

Fox "News" has cancelled Lou Dobbs!

And I say: Huzzah.

My condolences to BK in the loss of your friend, sending vibes for comfort

The dentist decided that the tooth, my last surviving molar on the top left is no longer surviving.

I have been prescribed a course of antibiotics and recommended to have it extracted and replaced with an implant

The microwave may have to wait

vixmom · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2021, 09:02:50 AM »

Or be pretty inexpensive

We’ve been advised to expect another 5-9 inches of snow tomorrow

I’ve seen people on the right complaining about “cancel culture”.

vixmom · « **Reply #50 on:** February 06, 2021, 09:06:48 AM »

I wonder if these are the same folks who were advocating for cancelling The View and Ellen and boycotting Disney over “gay days” ...

I only paid attention to high, medium, or low on the packages

Ours is over the oven, also Dacor. I don't think I have ever had one over the stove.

Do you have a treadmill in your apartment?

I am guessing you just want one that sits on the counter? If so you can probably find something inexpensive. I see them at Best Buy.

I had no idea Disney had "gay days". I think it is a great idea.

I took a leap this morning. I bought a bike. We'll see where it takes me.

My laptop is acting all wonky this morning. Updates and such stuff.
