I should get off my ass and go microwave shopping. Is there anything I should be considering? Just go for the highest wattage that meets my size restrictions?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Was there ever a time when Zack Galafawhosis was funny? I liked him in Tru Calling, but every "joke" the man's involved with just thuds to the floor to die instantly.
I just started watching Kidnapped again, after a brief hiatus, and just watched episode 7.
Dude, Alaska FBI guy is working for IA. BOO! I liked him
More people identify as "Texan" than Manx. Huh.
Well, the last native speaker of Manx died in 1974.
Barb, I like the burgundy skirt, or the purple outfit on you. I do, however, think that perhaps a white or oyster colored top would not be my personal choice if I were dressing you, as far as making your coloring its most lovely. If you do go with a neutral top, wear some earrings with color. Turquoise or garnet would, I think, be lovely.
(I like the burgundy skirt. A LOT.) With strappy gold sandals and a hot burgundy toe polish, with a good amount of gold in it. Delish.)
I can't believe someone who dictate someone else's self-id'd ethnicity, ita. I had students fill out stuff all the time as a high school teacher, and what they put down was their business. You look totally white to me? Go ahead, and put Black & Asian down. I don't know your business. And there's been enough times I thought X about a student's ethnicity, and further along in the school year, they'd pop out a "But my mom/dad is Filipino/Black/Puerto Rican/French/Kenyan/White" and I'd be all "Huh. Never woulda guessed. Get on witcha bad multiethnic self, kiddo!"
I think that either ethnicities are not as easy to tell by looks as some people think, or people just aren't as good at it as they think they are. I've been asked "Are you _____?" for just about every ethnicity that's not usually blond. (Most recently, random guy on the street, who also had ethnically-ambiguous looks, came up to me and asked, "Where are your people from? They ain't from this country, are they?")
I got asked if I was French all the time in London. I do not think I look particularly French at all! Perhaps it was my air of degage ennuistiphication?! Heh.
When I was living in Philly, I got picked for English most of the time. Scottish a few times, and on one occasion, Welsh. I had one guy spend an entire dinner listening to me and an actual English person, and still claim he couldn't tell our accents apart.
