This is wonderful news, but it fills me with fear to know that with
you today's extreme happiness will only lead to extreme sadness on the
morrow. I can't wait to see what goes wrong with the toaster. Not
rooting for it to go down, only saying I will be here to read your
complaints and respond to them as they come in. And if it happens
with the toaster I will be the first to remind me of how happy you
were the day it arrived and how exuberantly you displayed that
happiness for all on this group to see.

Your future is toast,

I'd not expect a "no-name" $16 toaster to last very long or to even
toast very well.

Black and Decker is not a "no-name". I like that I can drill holes
and cut wood with it, along with toasting.

I never bought a new toaster in my life and haven't had one for
years although my stepmom bought be a toaster oven about 10 years ago
and I'm still using it. I buy the Harris Teeter brand of frozen
french rolls, take them home and let them thaw in the fridge. They
call them take and bake, but I could tell they were already cooked.
It's not like raw dough. I cut them in half horizontally and put them
in the toaster oven and they're perfect. I am not a toaster expert,
not by a long shot.

glad you got my back. If I ever need my back back can you give it

I dreamed this morning that my ex was having trouble breathing and
then stopped breathing and I was looking for a phone to call 911 when
I woke up. Colored the whole day. Felt like I was living among
ghosts as I went through the day.

You shudda had a piece of toast. I recommend "Dave's Killer Bread." It's
great stuff. It's so good, I eat the end pieces. On other loaves, the
end is worthless but the same piece of DKB, is better than any kind of
bread you can think of.

Have a seat in the morning sun, eat the toast, and contemplate life.
Spread some marmalade on your toast and you'll be deliriously happy.

does that come with a side of oxycotin? With a shot of Jack to wash
it down?

I don't have any marmalade. Whenever I hear the word "marmalade" that
I think of Marmaduke. I don't think I would like marmalade. Unless
it was on Marmaduke. That might be a funny.

I've never seen DKB. Where do I find it?

Grocery stores- sometimes in the organic section. I will second this
recommendation as my 14 year old loves it.

Sounds like this is a case where you really do need to "ask for
directions" because it could be located anywhere. It really is a good
bread, expensive... but worth it.

I don't do drugs so I have to get high naturally. Of course, this means
that I don't get high either. I used to know a woman that was high on
life all the time. The first thing I expect is that big moody week that
always follows and any engagement is to be done very carefully. It's
like polishing a live mine. Anyway, this women never was down in the
years that I worked with her and we became buddies. She's like a freak
of nature and I always thought that she should be carefully be studied
to see how that can work.

Marmaduke is a funny cartoon. Whenever I hear "Marmaduke" I think of
Vegemite. Why that is, is a mystery.

This is a good question. The website is pretty entertaining - maybe even
inspirational. Entertaining and inspirational is good for a website.

Look on the bright side. At least it wasn't you who stopped
breathing in your sleep.

One odd thing about it. The electrical cord is only about 18 inches
long and comes out of the bottom near the front. Why such a short
cord, and why is it near the front?

Short cord, I can understand. Long cords aren't necessary in modern
kitchens with up to date codes. The cord placement makes it sound
like the unit is meant to go lengthwise against the wall. Nasty
surprises like that are why I don't like to buy things sight unseen
over the internet.

Short cords are a safety feature. Toasters typically have short
cords, they are high wattage appliances and longer cords can become
hot unless they are a heavier gauge... a better quality toaster would
have a 3' cord of a heavier gauge but it would cost at least three
times as much... what did you expect from a $16 toaster? Years ago
B&D made quality products, but no more... B&D doesn't manufacture
anything anymore, they've become a marketer. That's a no-name toaster
from the orient with a B&D label. If you bought that same toaster in
the stupidmarket housewares aisle it would have a different name and
cost $9.98.

It's ok just a bit odd it is so short. I will just have to push it
back to the wall... I thought I burned my toast earlier, but
apparently there are chemicals that need to burn off. Smelled like
burning plastic first time I used it.

Here come those complaints I was predicting. I have to admit I
wonder the same thing with some appliances. I bought a blender for
the first time in years about a month ago - $25 Oster, Walmart - works
ok for what I need - but the cord is incredibly short. I'm living in
an apartment building that went up in 1925, it's not like there's an
outlet on every wall. But even within only a foot or two of a wall
plug in the kitchen the wire just barely makes it to the outlet. I
have seen this with other items. I am not making excuses for the
people who manufacture these products, but I'm assuming there's got to
be a reason why they make their plug wires so short. Maybe they're in
cahoots with the extension-cord people.

For safety reasons they no longer want to encourage leaving countertop
appliances plugged in all the time. And don't use an extension cord,
especially with a toaster, or with any appliance in the kitchen (or
bathroom). They also don't want folks moving such appliances to the
edge of the counter, and certainly not near sinks; "they" meaning the
fire underwriters lab... especially important not to override
electrical safety features living in a nearly hundred year old
building, wiring can be very old and inadequate, and you may not have
GFI protected circuits. You shouldn't own a toaster oven, of all
household appliances the toaster oven is most likely to cause house
fires.

You got my attention there. My next door neighbors (and their door is side
by side of mine) caused a fire because of their toaster oven many years ago.
It scared the hell out of me coming home and seeing all my neighbors outside
waiting for the fire dept. to arrive.

This was on a Saturday night. I didn't have renter's insurance then but I
went right out the next Monday morning and added it to my policy. (True)
Since then, my place now requires every tenant to have insurance. I bought
mine many years before it was required.

It's a good investment anyway....not very expensive at all.

PS - stupid-ass tenants burning candles is another big fire hazard.
