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.

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.

Hee. Totally want this t-shirt: [link]

BSG - don't forget: Baltar the self-serving; traitorous, yet charming and mad scientist.

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.

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.

brenda, I think you got those last two links backwards.

I usually write block letters, and yess, it's small caps, but it doesn't usually read as ASSCAPS to me. I think between not being uniform computer font letters, and using bigger caps for the starts of sentences and proper nouns, it helps keep the ASSCAPS effect down.

There are a couple of things I'd like to use it (edit: the microwave, not the handwriting) for, but it's not worth giving up the space.
