-> -> I'd have to use a step stool.
-> 
->  RH> That's a little safer than the stairs, but not much.
-> 
-> Better that than a chair with wheels, especially on an uncarpeted
-> surface.  That's how I broke my wrists.

Ouch.  That'll do it.  I only sit on chairs with wheels.
 
->  RH> My toaster oven is now out on an enclosed porch; we never used it
-> 
-> We got one at a Korean market last summer when we visited Dale & Gail.
-> It has a very small foot print because it's more vertcal (2 smaller
-> shelves) than horizontal (the usual one longer shelf).  Works for us
-> with limited counter space.

Good move; it figures that the Koreans would make something like that. 
 
->  RH> anyway. The can opener is a manual; the electric ones never worked
->  RH> properly.
-> 
-> I broke down and got one when I had to open a lot of cans for making
-> chili for a large group while we were in AZ.  The wrists weren't strong
-> enough to do the job; I had to borrow a neighbor's can opener. Within a
-> few days, we had our own.

We've had them, but could never stand them.  I don't use enough canned
stuff at any one time to make an electric one useful.
 
-> -> One word for the noise--ear plugs (ok, 2 words).
-> 
->  RH> Been there, got those.
-> 
-> Need stronger ones, like what is used around airports, etc?
-> 
Pretty much.  
 
-> -> those gizmos that peels, cores and slices?
-> 
->  RH> I had one, but only used it a few times.  It's easier to do them by

-> 
-> It's your choice.

The mechanicals always leave pieces of the core in them. I always had to go
back and remove the cores anyway if I was using them for pies.  
 
->  RH> The tabasco pepper may become an endangered species.
-> 
-> Doubtful, a little bit of heat goes a long way. Besides, there are those
-> that don't want the heat; they probably give the bottles away to the
-> "hot heads".
-> 
Then again, the food may make converts out of the non heat-eaters.
 
-> -> No, they think we whisper "come here, you'll get lots of attention"
and
-> -> then they pounce.
-> 
->  RH> Cats just sort of yell at me until I do their bidding.
-> 
-> You've got strange cats. (G)
-> 
I have demanding creatures who think they own the joint.
 
-> -> Not even honey? GAG!
-> 
->  RH> Double gag.  We fed about 90% of it to the back yard critters.
-> 
-> Did they like it?
-> 
It disappeared, so I guess so.  
 
->  RH> That's not surprising.  I had a cat who liked doritos too.
-> 
-> No surprise there; we've had cats & dogs that liked strange things.  Sam
-> liked a lot of vegetables.

I have a sneaking suspicion one of mine likes brownies.
