Glad to hear it was a good day!

Hope it was very happy!

Great first installment, CastleBee, thanks!!!

What fun!

I agree. I was next to devastated when it was announced that the actors would be performing it instead of them showing the actual TV play. I could swear that the first Fest/weekend flyer claimed that the original production would be shown.

Hopefully, one day...

You take after your dad, eh?

Uh............HEY!   

dom dearest,

First you leave me standing at the altar back in April, and NOW you're calling me stupid.  I don't know that my already shaky self-esteem can take much more.      

I was waiting for that. I'll make it up to you. Maybe lunch? I'm out your way til the first week of October. Have your people, call my people... I owe Patti a lunch date too, maybe we can make it a threesome?

ANYWAY.....I have made an unprecedented leap into the 20th century and bought a microwave oven yesterday.  (Up until yesterday I didn't own much of anything that didn't exist at Collinwood).

LOL!

(All I need now is a cell phone and I'll be in the 21st century)  NOW the only problem is, I'm afraid of it.  I thought you just punch in the number of minutes and press start, but THIS thing has a million different settings, 10 power levels, and "inverter auto cooking" buttons and I'm totally lost.  (Yes, I've read the manual)

How funny would it have been to watch a scene with Mrs. Johnson trying to figure out how to use a microwave (or a cell phone for that matter, lol).

Any hints, info, or microwave cooking tips would be greatly appreciated!   
Also, can you put a casserole dish in there?  You know...like Corningware?  I know you can't put the glass lid, but can you put the dish?

See what happens when you buy from MACY*S? Next time, shop at WALMART.

Reminds me of my last microwave/convection oven purchase. The darn thing is all metal on the inside (including the carousel!). After at least 10 years of heeding the microwave mantra warning, "never put metal in the microwave", it completely boggled my mind!

I didn't know you can't use glass lids in the microwave. I do it all the time without any problems. Maybe you have a next generation-microwave? (Gosh, how I miss that smart-ass emoticon!). Just buy a ton of microwave popcorn and play with it until you figure it out, Sarah, uh, I mean Connie! <snort>

Or maybe, after lunch, Patti and I can come over to your place and help you figure it out.

PS - I hope you two like popcorn -- 

PPS - I use corningware in the microwave all the time - never have a problem. And it will be worth your while to learn how to use the power levels. They make all the difference between more edible and less edible microwaved food - when you absolutely HAVE to use the microwave to cook real (home made) food.

Good luck! 

Write me privately if you think you might like to get together while I am out this way. Could be fun!

Happy belated BD to DS! Gosh, how I loved the show when I was a kid. Collecting just about everything I found related to DS. Waiting for the next issue of 16 Magazine and Tiger Beat (etc.) to hit the magazine rack, getting yelled at by the store owner not to read them before buying - but heck, I wasn't going to buy them if they didn't have DS within! Heh. Back then my fave pix were the ones of Selby and Frid from the 1897 period, all that makeup, old clothes, and added backdrop color. Couldn't get enough of it!

Then there was the paperback book store where I had to beg the owners to go to the 'back room' to unpack the deliveries to see if any new Ross novels had arrived. I remember they had crystal balls under the counter for sale and I wanted one SO bad! (That was when I was in my 'Magda phase'. Was intent on naming my first born girl Magda, lol. Needless to say, that DIDN'T happen!) Was $45.00 for the smaller one. Didn't have that kind of money back then - some things never change, lol.

...and I too thank MB & Midnite for this great place to revisit my old obbsession. And to get cyberly acquainted with a bunch of great fellow fans.

As for thanking me, well, thanks, but it's really MB and Midnite who make this the best (IMHO) DS place on the internet. Me? I'm just the resident nun with ruler in hand, lol. Thanks, to those who haven't held it against me.  

And thanx to Al Gore for inventing the internet, lol!

Thanks, Anne, Patti, and the rest!

Wishing all Forums members a safe and happy holiday!

Thinking about you, hoping all is as well as possible.
