It smokes?! Ours was so low key. It just went dead. No lights, no digital readout, zippo.

At least you get some drama and excitement from yours with the smoke.

It died once before, just last year. It was dead for a few days, then we had a thunderstorm and the power went out for a few minutes. When the power surged back on again, the microwave came to life again. It was like a miracle.

We called it the Frankenwave. "It's alive! It's alive!" :lol2:
The problem with mine was that it wouldn't die. It kept running even with the door open.

Perhaps that microwave would be good for cooking zombies, when the undead apocalypse comes. :unsure:

It's alive.

A new $2.50 fuse and it's back humming again. This thing may outlive me. :lol:

Use it up, make it last. Down with the consumer society!!! Who among us did not grow up with at least one appliance you had to know just how to use? Whether it was setting the oven with a knife blade or how to bang the TV just so to get it working again?

Until a few years ago I had a stove that the clock set buttons had broken off. You had to stick two pencils with good erasers on them into the holes and hold them in to set the clock. But the stove worked just fine otherwise. The only reason I replaced it was I wanted gas.

Down with consumerism. Sell 'em to the Chinese.

Cutting them up to make them fit would be a bit of a hassle.

This Frankenwave is two feet wide, 16 inches high, and almost two feet deep. Granted, you'd have to do it in batches, but this would be one of the larger residential machines available.

I'll be sure to save the second fuse from the package of two. You might need it.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

Actually, I think Brenda's microwave may be a zombie itself.

You're right, Mik. We are recyclers and user-uppers. We make do and get by with stuff for a long time. The stove we just got rid of was from 1967.

I am very glad to at least keep the old microwave going until the new kitchen is done. There's no need to get another one until we know for certain what size. Then the Frankenwave can go up to the movie room on the third floor, if it's still alive.
