~Microwave Problems~

Yesterday afternoon I went out to the kitchen
to heat up my left over meat pie.. I got it out of
the fridge, opened the microwave door, set the
time and turned it on.. it lit up and ran for maybe
a minute, then it went dark.. It shut off.. I looked
at it and thought.. 'and here I thought everything
was gonna run smooth for a while'.. I use my micro
every day.! I was most upset.. :-(

My microwave is a combination kind.. I can cook,
well bake in it like a convectional oven which is the
kind in a stove.. Mine would cook in either mode.
Stove ovens are too dangerous for me. I put my
self at risk every time I use my stove oven.. I get
burnt... So this one I have I really like it.. and I use
it every day... Anyway...

I worried about this all night.. I bet I woke up a
dozen times trying to figure out HOW am I gonna
afford a new microwave... :-( I got up this morning
and was drinking my coffee and I did the same thing
as yesterday to the microwave.. I opened the door,
pushed all the buttons.. Unplugged the extension cord
and plugged it back in.. Still DEAD as a doornail.. I
was upset.. I then decided to check the cord where
it was plugged INTO the extension cord.. It didn't
look too snug from what I could see.. I pulled it up..
unplugged it.. plugged it back in.. ALL THE WAY...
and BLIP!!! That micro lit up like a Christmas tree..
I said.... "THANK YOU LORD!!" My micro is back...
Cost me a stressfull afternoon and night.. but made
my day today... :-)

Stanley had open heart surgery yesterday.. Shirley
phoned to let me know how he is doing.,.. He had a
valve repair and a double bypass.. Shirley said hes
doing good.. Poor guy is gonna be sore for a while..
Shirley said he lost a few friends down there in
Haiti and he was really upset about that.. With this
heart stuff it will probly be awhile till he goes back
there but I'm sure he would like to go and help... I
saw some stuff on TV yesterday that just made me
cringe.. Those poor people.. I saw a 15 day old baby,
mom was killed... so sad... Anyway, Stanley is doing
ok.. prayers answered .... :-) Hes a strong man and
knowing him.. he wont be down for long.. Hes too
hyper :-)

Penny is back from the store with the fixins for a
meat pie and some treats for Alex who will be here
tomorrow with his mom... about 10 Kelli said.. I cant
wait to see them.. I do wish I lived closer to Kelli,
I could help with Alex... wouldn't that be fun? I
would LOVE it... :-) I KNOW Donnie will like the
meat pie.. I have NO doubts..

Lunch time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. I hope you
have a great week end.. Stay safe and warm and happy..
Remember though.. "I SHALL Return! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hi Lois
    This start of a new year has been a busy one for sure...I pray it not going to be that way all year.
    Glad your microwave is alright, I use might all the time too.
    Not been sleeping good at night for a few night...praying that will end soon...
    God bless you Lois.

    I have had my microwave 7 years. It has been through a flood and fire - (Just water damage) It no longer defrosts - but seems to work otherwise. I use it only to heat up food (mainly soups and pasta dishes.) I still do all my cooking on the stove-top. My pri-mary dr is a non-invasive cardi-ologist.

    Hi, Honey,
    Glad to hear Stanley is doing well. He'll soon be fighting fit again, they give a 15 year guarantee on that job! Mine ran out a few years ago, but, thank the Lord, I'm still doing fine!
    And thank the Lord, again, that you got your microwave going again - Clever Girl - well done!!
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife
