Hi Shawn,


RH> True, but I just don't want to get sucked into another time waster.
RH> Maybe if I were younger but.............

 SH> We got my mother using it now and she's 78.

My cousins tried to get my dad to use it when he was in his 90s to
communicate with them but I don't think it ever worked as well as they
wanted it to.


RH> If the new unit doesn't have an oven, get a combination
RH> microwave/convection oven. Better than not having any oven. We had
RH> that in the R-Pod, have a small oven (and 3 burner stove) in the
RH> Grey Wolf.

 SH> We have an electric table top one in the current trailer that I would
 SH> be moving.  It works great and it's handy as I can plug it in outside
 SH> or in the shed when I don't want to heat up the entire place.

OK, you're covered. We bought one that sits on top of a propane stove
burner, used it a few times. Tricky part with that is getting it
regulated to just the right temperature.


RH> Yeah, right. Stopped at Costco today after voting to get propane and
RH> regular gas, a few grocery items fell into the buggy as well. Picked
RH> up a box of small packs of gummi bears for trick or treaters so
RH> that'll clear out of the house fast.

 SH> Nice.  Our building doesn't allow the little beggers to knock so other
 SH> then our grandson and his friend we don't get any kids.  (They get
 SH> pretty much enough candy from us they don't need to go elsewhere. LOL)

We live in a neighborhood of single houses, a few of them have young
kids who come over. Often times we'll get kids from up or down the
street also; I think we had about 30 trick or treaters last year after
having none the year before. We are always prepared; one year in our
rental house we had about 60 (some older kids (teens) as well as a lot
of little ones. Had just enough candy that year.
