In reply to Cindy Craw.

Hi Cindy, those digital timers sound handy! Sorry for being unclear in the post – I meant the built-in timer function on the microwave, not starting the actual microwave. The timer function doesn’t run the unit and is made for timing other tasks. Ours have always had that option, but if one didn’t, you’re right – it wouldn’t be good to run the microwave as a timer. Thanks!

Melissa, please don’t suggest using the microwave as a timer. I recently read that using the microwave without anything in it can cause a fire. I have two battery operated digital kitchen timers that I use to time myself on my chores. They are 88 cents at Wal*Mart in the kitchen utensil section. Far, far better than the wind-up ones that always seem to stop working when you’re in the middle of baking batches of cookies. One of the best purchases I have ever made. The timers keep me on track and I can multitask by having two of them.

We are moving into a studio apt until our house is built. We moved from a 2200 sq ft house and now we’re in a studio. My husband is a keeper BUT now that we are moving so much “stuff” he is much more agreeable in tossing out the things he has been hanging onto. He still has some sweaters from High School…….he is 57 now. … out it goes….finally. We have 3 storage units and we be gone through has we move into our new house……the comes the garage sale … if I even want to mess with that. I feel lighter already. Happy thoughts !
