...yeah I only have a conventional oven which takes forever, uses a lot more power, and tends to dry things out like my seasoned red potato wedges and hand cut french fries. Not going back to pan frying as again it is messy and uses too much oil (which I don't know what to do with afterwards as cooking oil is not recyclable unless you own a restaurant that uses a lot of it).
So researching and shopping around for a new one locally as often I find the shipping fees offset if not even sometimes exceed any savings from buying online.
Yeah, Epcot's been modified/enhanced several times since I left Florida in '84. However, if you were there after Oct. 1, 1983 and were able to see "Horizons" you haven't missed much. "Horizons"... best exhibit at Epcot.
Horizons is now just a memory. It closed in January, 1999. The building itself is completely gone and replaced.
Another major makeover at Epcot is going on this coming year. We loved Epcot. We were there opening day Oct 1, 1982 and I still have my ticket stub. We went back many times from Washington, DC until Max died in '94. I've been back a few times since.
I couldn't log into the Daz forums this afternoon. I guess the connection to the server was so slow that it timed out. I'm trying to save some money to buy stuff next year.
...something is screwy here as I can't even do direct downloads from my product library today without multiple failures. This is the only site I have experienced download difficulties with.
I had a brief hic-up and had to repost one entry earlier this afternoon.
I don't know if it's still a good model, but we got a thing called "Power Fryer XL"... my wife looked at the reviews and it seemed okay (average 4.5 stars out of 5)... we've had it for almost a year... but we've only used it a little over a dozen or so times... seems sufficient for our needs. We got ours at Kohl's... used some of that "Kohl's Cash" on it, so that reduced what we paid.
I think it's easy to clean, but there are a few little details I would change... can't remember what, so I'm imagining it's nothing important.
We generally don't fry a lot, but this make certain things easier... I don't know if these devices technically would meet all frying needs... especially deep frying (I guess that's sorta obvious though).
As far as beet juice... (switch to Russian accent now)... You must make beet juice old fashion way... grandmother put on boots, throw beets in tub and stomp on them like bolsheviks stomp on hearts of the peasants... but it make good beet juice, make you strong to fight wolves in winter.
beets, the other purple juice

If they think you're doing non-work things, they may be looking for something to pin on you. And it's probably not a ribbon or medal, either.
Buy a gun belt. Hanks makes excellent belts. You can contact them and they'll help you get the correct size for your body.
Here's the one I wear: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XNRFFUC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For those of you who are still working (and might need to wear a suit from time to time), then you should consider buying two; one each in brown and black.
Even if you don't carry a firearm or wear tools, the holes won't become torn out and the belt won't fold over on itself or become misshapen if your waist happens to be .. um.. "pronounced".
Best of all, you'll cry only once, and then you'll have a belt that will last for years.
My Hanks belt hasn't stretched in almost a year and a half. But if you're concerned about that, there are beltmakers who add a steel strip inside the length of their belts.
I've got news for you. Even if you are retired, your time and your energy are worth something. Driving all around town (or getting rides, waiting for busses, etcetera) is a waste of your time.
You can bemoan Amazon until the cows come home, or you can fix the problem. The choice is yours. Pay (and cry) many times, or just cry once. If you refuse to buy via Amazon, that's fine. You don't have to buy from Amazon if you don't want to. We live in an amazing time, and there are scads of ways to get somebody to deliver something to you. But nothing will happen if you aren't willing to take some initiative. Use Amazon as a research tool, then call some manufacturers directly. Either they'll sell directly or they'll tell you who their resellers are.
So my Hanks belt was $50. It was ordered with a bunch of other stuff (probably toilet paper, paper towels, and vacuum cleaner filter bags), so the share of shipping for the belt wasn't a big deal.
It's a belt. Making numerous trips around town just isn't the best use of your time, even if you ARE retired. Find a way that works for you so that you can get back to your life.
I have one of these in my garage. I also have a sharp set of drill bits and several hand or regarchable drivers. It's easy to drill a new "in-betweener" hole in a belt.
Not feeling it for any of these, hmmmm....
Shipping isn't THAT much. Not when you consider that you're probably spending that much and more waiting in the cold for a bus, being on your feet all day, and paying for it with pain releivers when you get home. And that's not to mention the added risk for all the moped riders who you've said are apparently targeting you every time you go outside.
I'm not saying you have to buy online. I'm just suggesting that your calculus may not be taking everything into account.
$10 belts are thinner than the smoked salmon I just had in my salad. Cheap belts rarely last me even a year. Broken and unusable. So that's $10 wasted, plus tax. Plus my time. Plus the driving. And all the time spent waiting in a line to pay for it. So I buy again. And in less than a year, I buy again. And then again.
Clip-on braces are an awful idea, for the reason you've stated. Any good tailor can sew buttons into your waist, and they won't charge that much. Hell, you could even have it done on your blue jeans if you want to. I wear braces when I need to clean up for a special occasion. But for my back, I think my gun belt helps provide me good lower back support.
Hope it turns out okay.
I use a Foodi pressure-cooker+fryer. Love it!
You should teach yourself how to use the broiler in your oven. Seriously, a broiler can help give more flavor and texture to your food while also preventing it from drying out.
As with the belt, you may just end up spending more money buying locally. But that's up to you.
Yeah, no feet please.
Have you acutally seen your eye doc? If he says beets for you, then yeah. But that all depends on what you ACTUALLY have going on with your eyes.
...the canvas web belts I've been using have each lasted me several years before wearing out. On my monthly income, 50$ at one fell swoop is far too much to drop on a belt no matter how long it lasts. The shoes I bought already set me back quite a bit making for a very tight rest of the month, however proper fitting shoes with good foot support, particularly being diabetic, are extremely important.
...a broiler in an electric oven takes more energy than just the oven alone. Not interested in running up my power bill like that for a side serving of potatoes or veggies.
...already found few places in town where I can get one for less than most of the online services I checked. It only takes a phone call to see if they have what I'm looking for in stock, so no needless running around town.
sort of ruined my din din but then sorta not
got so deep into the carrara shading room, forgot to get up and stir the rice
ended up making a rice pancake. not bad but one side too crispy
put too much flour, gravy too thick
non complaint

I guess I don't know what a canvas web belt is. I've never had any belt last "several years" except a heavy leather belt, with or without the steel strip inside. But if you can get one for $10 and it actually lasts for several years, then more power to you.
Okay, I just looked up "canvas men's belt" on Amazon. Basically, they're the old woven "Boy Scout belts". I get where you're coming from now. That's a $10 belt for sure; not at all what I thought you were looking for. That's so thin and not very supportive; maybe should be $5?
Can you find one for $5? Hey, look; I found one on Amazon for $5.99. That would be $5.99 + sales tax for me since I have Prime. But I'd just throw it in the trunk in case I needed a tornequet to stop somebody from bleeding to death and I didn't care how long it takes me to get to my trunk. I wouldn't actually wear it!
If you're thinking that a broiler is "only" for potatoes and veggies, then you're missing out on some of the best and healthiest cooking you could be doing. I mean, really, 10-15 minutes under a broiler before or after the main cooking period is that expensive when you're already running the coil on the bottom of the oven for what...30 minutes? 50 minutes for a thick steak or chicken quarters?
The broiler coil, being the same size as the main coil, would use the same amount of energy and when you're broiling, they don't both run at the same time. The main difference is that you'd be applying some heat from above, thereby browning the food, giving it some texture, and maybe locking in some moisture.
Basically, all of that is what your air fryer did. So your air fryer blows the hot air around all sides of the food. But after a fashion, you actually still have an air fryer built right into your kitchen. Since the broiler and main coils don't run at the same time, they can't possibly cost more to operate. If it just might make mealtime a little more enjoyable, why not think about trying it?
Very good. Glad you found something, either a belt or an air fryer.
...response A: Yes those are the type and they've worked well for me over the many, many years I've used them. Never have to be concerned about the placement of the holes for the buckle, no need for a custom fit or drilling/punching extra holes (with tools I don't have), they are much easier to adjust, and I find them fairly comfortable.
...response B: I don't eat steaks or cook whole chickens as I live alone, so firing up the broiler for the small portions of food I make is a waste of power. Air fryers are effectively small convection ovens which are more efficient than a conventional one . They are also excellent for people like myself who don't need to feed a whole family.
...response C: Actually both, though I have to put off purchasing the air fryer until next month, as like the shoes I just bought, that is another big expense for my tight budget.
I remember phones. They are those really simple things that you talk into and your actual voice is reproduced at the other end
and conversations are in real-time. Like instantaneous, no waiting for a reply unless one of you is on the moon. No typing involved. Well almost no finger work, but it's just one finger and limited to about 10 characters. Damn good idea. Whatever happened to those? 
They got replaced by "free to play" and "in-app purchases".
I still have one. The cord isn't even tangled yet. Three, actually, because 2 moves ago I packed it by accident then needed one to call somebody to help with the moving, and had to quick find one and ended up paying the insanely expensive price of $12 for that last-minute emergency purchase. What a terrifying waste of money on a phone, eh? Then the last move I needed one at both locations at the same time, and one of the two was packed. Luckily that one only cost $4.99, so I'm only out a little under $17 for my two extra phones, and have spares for when... uh.. whatever might happen to break a corded phone happens someday.
It's not a rotary though. It's one of them new-fangled modern pushbutton ones. :-)
I moved to my new house, and the realtor very reluctantly warned me that she couldn't get cell service here. I'm like.... ok.

It's only earlyish November, and it's been snowing all day long. Now there's a white cover all over the place. This is the coast, we have a temperate climate and rarely get snow until January. It's pretty right now, but I don't think the cold can last this close to the sea and a warm ocean current. Melting snow is just about the most depressing weather.
We still have a couple wired phones, and some cordless ones that are still just phones. I won't abandon my land line. Cell reception is flaky in my house. Sometimes I don't get calls that Diane says she made. The nice thing about wired phones, if the power goes out, they still work. Of course, with the phone modem from FIOS, that's a little different now, but that thing has a battery backup built in. So we still have phones for a while, until that fades out.

Interesting note, with phone companies tearing out copper and putting in fiber that handy side effect is starting to go away. Formerly the power was transmitted over the copper, but since that's not an option with fiber, power is being sourced near the customer's end instead. For example Google gives me this: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/smb-digital-phone/KM1241817 ; . So while it used to work, it may not in the future (or already may not depending on where you live.)
BWAHHHH
Its Toothless and Jon Snow auditioning together. and and a girl night fury
I hadn't thought about that. FIOS is fiber all the way to the house. But, like I said, the phone modem has a backup battery. I also have the power cable to that modem plugged into a UPS. So I actually would have even more time. The corded phones seem to work only with that connection, so I guess it puts enough power into the line to keep them alive. I wonder just how much power they actually need. I bet a 9V battery would be enough for a little use. I'm not about to hack somethign together for that, though.
Dana
Another feature of the old phones was that they only required one finger to enter the address of the call receipient. So even a nonophelangiplegic person or nonophelangic amputee could dial the number.
...yeah I miss the old land lines sometimes. I live in a building with a lot of metal in the frame so depending on where I am in the flat the signal can sometimes drop out momentarily.
Also to "hack" an old style phone you had to have a lineman's handset (pretty obvious), the basic tools and gear, then climb the pole and figure out which line you needed to tap into. So much easier, less conspicuous, and safer these days to just sit in a corner of a Starbucks with the proper software.
I've got landline service here. It provides my DSL internet and my phone. However, I have a "modern" 3-station wireless phone that requires wall power, has lights and screens, and each handset has an overly expensive battery. I've been through this before. When the batteries die & won't recharge anymore, I just get a new phone set. It's cheaper.
But, somewhere, in the bottom of a box I have an old dark forest green AT&T "Trimline" phone for emergency use when power is out and I absolutely have to make a call. I found it at a garage sale, for a dollar.
Who ever bought forest green phones?
I hope that when I need to use it, I can find it, in the dark, at the bottom of a box, somewhere.
....we had a tan one as an extension in our basement "club room" but ours had a rotary dial.
My mother had a green Trim Line in the kitchen with an extra long cord
I don't know about forest green, but the olive green ones were popular. Especially in the kitchen, next to your olive green refrigerator!
(never had one...but I did paint our first refrigerator harvest gold)
Dana
Well, I'm not sure I could describe the difference between Dark Forest Green, or Olive Green or even Avocado Green, but I do remember them in kitchens of the late 20th century. Not sure deep saturated colors were any more attractive than omnipresent beige or tepid pastels . Perhaps one should wallpaper one's appliances? I remember when black cast iron was what our stove was, and not everybody even had a refrigerator.
Anyone here who knows where I can buy a time-gate? I have an unmet need to go visit the 80s. They're home.
