Whirlpool Convection Over-the-Range Microwave For the Holidays

If you are hosting family and friends for the holidays it might be time for a new oven. With the great updates this Whirlpool Convection over the  range Microwave has, it will be totally worth it. It’s easier than ever to use. You don’t have to worry about figuring out the correct temps for food. You’ll get the correct setting every time. Here’s how it works:

Scan a frozen food barcode with your smartphone or tablet and send recommended or customized cooking instructions straight to your microwave for dinner done the way your family wants it.

From customized recipes to a customized experience, the touchscreen on the Smart Microwave learns, adapts and suggests customized presets based on your family’s routines. The dynamic system tracks preferences to learn family favorites – from what families cook, when they cook and how they cook.

3 Rules for Giving to Non Profits

 

I am posting this on behalf of the Non-Profits everywhere and especially the ones I support. They can not say this without people being offended. I will say it for them.

Rule 1- GIVE NEW
Give NEW UNOPENED ITEMS. People who need clothes have dignity too. No one wants your jordache jeans or your slightly worn clothes that you found when you cleaned your closet. New toys, still wrapped, not used toys. It’s healthier and cleaner for the person receiving it. Buying used items is a choice the shopper makes, when people are in need, this is not the best thing for the charity or a person. It is not the same thing as you choosing to shop at a resale store. In some cases, the non-profit is prohibited by law from taking used items. Also, please don’t bring ( or ask to bring) LEFT OVER FOOD. The best bet is to give the Non-Profit Cash so they can get what is needed, not just what YOU want to give.

Rule 2- IT’S NOT A PETTING ZOO
Do not ask to see the people who are the recipients of your charity. Dropping off your donation should not become a petting zoo or a coffee date. Refrain from saying AWWW look at the ( FILL IN THE BLANK). If you want people in need to fall to their knees and thank you, you are in it for the wrong reason. If you are concerned that the charity will not give the items to the needy, you need to find another charity to support.

Rule 3- OLDER THAN 2015 IS TOO OLD.
Do not donate old books for “education” purposes. Everyone who is in school needs an up to date book. Your math book from 1988 is just junk that the Non-profit has to PAY a staff member to throw away. And Yes, that goes for Libraries too. You need to check with them to see if they will accept it, not drop off a box of junk they now have to pay money to get rid of it.

Bonus Rule: No means NO
When they say they can not accept your “donation” (translate as junk) be gracious and get off the phone. Have a 15-minute conversation about why they should take your items when they already told you they could not accept it, is a waste of time and emotionally exhausting.

Who do I support? Bob Lucas Library and Literacy Center (Altadena, CA, USA), Celebrate Life Cancer Ministry ( Los Angeles, CA), Los Angeles Youth Network (Los Angeles, CA)

BE A BLESSING WHEN YOU GIVE.

What Did You Get Rid Of?

Happy New Year! It means out with the old and in with the new. I said good-bye to my gamey old robe. It was looking like the shroud of Turin! I got a new robe for Christmas so I thanked the old one for its years of service and said good-bye.

I went through my facebook acct and deleted invites and causes and Farmville games that do not interest me. I changed my privacy so that only friends can look at my stream or friends. Other people?s creepy online activity will make you rethink your open policy. I would not have changed the open door policy if so weird stuff had not happened.

I deleted myself from uninteresting and unresponsive NING sites. I still have a few that I am active in however, I deleted myself and my materials ( show segments) from over 20 different sites.

Productivity is the word for 2010. Is it moving me forward? Is it wasting my time? Is it making me more productive? These are the questions I ask myself about the activities and events I am involved in. Of course, there are things that are just recreational. Those things have to be in balance also. They need to bring me health and re-creation!

What did you get rid of for the year?
