    Microwave Oven is crapping out
    I had one for about 30 years.
    Then one time it started sparking and making noises and had to
    replace it.
    The old one had a knob you turned for the number of cooking minutes,
    along with heat/cook knob.
    The new one (about five years old) has all sorts of buttons to push,
    etc.

    Not sure how long we've had ours... We didn't get one right at the
    beginning, so ours started out with push buttons, or rather, a keypad...
    not the turn knobs... So far it's working just fine... :) It's a 1200
    watt oven, so reasonably powerful... :)

    I cook with good old-fashioned lard, no shortening thank you.
    Granny (The Beverly Hillbillies) used that as laundry soap.
    It seems that would be awfully greasy.

    As I told Daryl... I think that she was using lye soap, not lard...
