I worked with a woman years ago who was incredulous that I didn't have a microwave. She touted its usefulness for defrosting something if she had forgotten to do so.

I said, "Gee, when I forget to defrost something, I tell my husband, 'Honey, I forgot to defrost something for dinner', and within twenty minutes or so I'm sitting in a restaurant."

The look on her face was priceless. ;-D

Microwaves have come with every apartment I have had, so it's handy but I seldom resort to it.

As for your solution to forgetting to defrost stuff, kudos! It's called alternative dispute resolution! ;-)

I said, "Gee, when I forget to defrost something, I tell my husband, 'Honey, I forgot to defrost something for dinner', and within twenty minutes or so I'm sitting in a restaurant."

Is it pitiful if I admit that your experience right here is about 50% of the reason why I went back to work? LOL!

We've spent so long looking at the cost of everything, and debating which one of the parents were going to go to the movies, or the circus because it just costs so doggone much. I want my whole paycheck (minus a reasonable savings) to pay for fun!

I want for all of us to go to the movies together more than once per year. I want to go to a nice restaurant for no more reason than I feel like it! I want vacations.

We're getting there!
