I have three microwave bags. One has lavender and is supposed to be good for headaches, but when I have a headache I don't want scent anywhere near me. Mostly I use it to keep my feet warm in bed in the winter.

I just saw The Science of Sleep which was quirky, imaginative, funny and a little sad all at once. It made me nostalgic for something I've never had.

The best therma care patches I've found are the ones made for cramps - you're supposed to attach them to your undies. I use them on my back, though, and they rock. But I love the electric, even if it scares me sometimes.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I was without a microwave for like 10 years. Just bought one in the last 6 months. I've used it a handful of times. To make popcorn.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't have a microwave. Well, I didn't, but then someone moving out of my building left theirs in the hallway (which seems to be our general reuse/recycle drop point), so I grabbed it and put it on top of my cupboards, where it has lived undisturbed since I got it. I have no space to put it where it would be useable, and I'm too lazy to get it down when I could possibly need it.

I could really use more cupboards on top of the ones I already have, though. Hmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How do people survive without a microwave?

Easy!

I use my toaster oven a lot. Also pans on the actual stove.

If I ever cooked, I mean.

Might be kind of hard to reach that way, but whatever floats your boat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My penmanship is fairly terrible. A large part of it, according to my elementary school teachers, is because I hold my pen the wrong way, but when I try holding it the right way, it's not any better, and I can only write a few words before getting uncomfortable.

We got report card grades on handwriting up until sixth grade. After that, I switched over to printing whenever I could. I can print much more quickly than I can write in cursive.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw some guy on Small Space, Big Style who got rid of his stove/oven in NYC. He relies on a toaster oven and a teeny microwave.

I don't know why I'm so shocked. We didn't get a microwave until I was in 8th grade so I know it's possible.
