Well, I have not been in any type of facility, hospital etc., since my kids
were born over 50 years ago, I was very young then so I don't remember
anyone talking to me that way, of course back then you could smoke in the
hospital bed too. LOL

We have a hood with cupboards over it.

Like the top two or three on this page:

It exhausts through ductwork that runs up inside the cabinets.

I like to be underestimated. I find it very relaxing.

That is nice. Very nice.

We retrofitted ours into a space where there used to be a microwave
that had a recirculating fan. It sucked up air from the cooktop,
ran it through a pathetic filter, and blew it out somewhere near the
top of the unit. Right back in my face.

That's pretty common for electric cookers, but essentially useless.
We were installing a gas cooker, so we wanted real ventilation.
The look on my husband's face as he sawed through the roof was
priceless. Concentration, consternation, and "Damn, I'm good"
all at once.

There is good reason for them to check on your identity every time. I
had an incident about a year and a half ago that made that clear. I had
been for my annual physical and went for my blood work. I distinctly
remember that she did not review my name etc, and I distinctly remember
not being given a urine sample bottle. Since that is part of the annual
routine I made note of it. That was the first time I that I was able to
check my results on line, and when I did that I was surprised to see
urinalysis results.

The next day I was heading for an eye appointment and stopped by at the
doctor's office to let them know there was a problem. The nurse had
already been in touch with the hospital to set up an ultrasound for me.
The doctor was there and said that he was alarmed at the blood in my
urine. Well, it wasn't my urine there was blood it.

I went back to repeat the tests and we talked about the break down in
their procedure. I was ticked that I had almost been sent for the
ultrasound for nothing. Then I said that there was someone out there
with a serious problem that no one knows about, and she had a strange
look on her face like that was a revelation to her.

It's a beautiful, modern, elegant, design. The price seems reasonable. The glass hood is pretty trick. Thanks!

You've seen a few things that I cooked, but you've repressed those
memories.

I'd never pretend to compete with Kuthe. He's a computer engineer, a
registered nurse, a Rainbow Warrior and a chocolatier. He's a true
homo universalis.

I've seen those on different remodeling shows and I've always wondered how hard

Same here. Two small cupboards above the hood which are useless. I
wouldn't store spices or anything I needed to reach with any regularity
in them.

We have cupboards over our stove. The exhaust hood is mounted under it,
and there are two shelves in it. It is not useless to me. I have no
problem reaching things in there.

The vent hood is under the built-in microwave (this is a 1987 design).
I can't reach those cabinets without a step ladder so they're useless as
far as I'm concerned. I've got a couple of glass vases stashed up there
and a wooden salad bowl set. IOW, things I never use.

Apparently the lesson is your wife shouldn't wear loose fitting clothing
when reaching for things in the cupboards above the stove. I'm glad she
wasn't seriously hurt.

I have to use a stool to get to them and so I just store things like straws,
toothpicks, etc. there which I don't use often.

Yes, I have to use a stool to get to mine, too. I have a couple of
cheap glass vases and a wooden salad bowl set stored up there. And I
found this!

In the Fall I like to buy assorted nuts in the shell to snack on. Give
me a nutcracker! I thought I'd lost my cute little nut bowl in the
move. As a result of this thread I opened those cabinets and found it.

https://i.postimg.cc/NMVtQXrP/squirrelnut.jpg

Isn't it cute? It's now been moved to a cabinet where I can readily
find it when I think about it. There are free standing table cabinets
in my living room for holding such things.

I suppose the builders think they have to put *something* above the
microwave and or vent hood to fill the space. Those cabinets are not
useful or convenient.

I sure never stored anything I needed regular access to in them. Even
the small kitchen in my apartment in Cordova had small cabinets like
that over the vent hood above the stove. They were only good for
storing things you don't often need to use. And yes, the vent stack
runs up through that cabinet from the oven, stove and microwave.

Likewise, Popeye, we don't know yoose even have a dik, cause yoose

It's a beautiful, modern, elegant, design. The price seems reasonable. The
glass hood is pretty trick. Thanks!

It is very strong too. I have knocked it more than once and it
doesn't show any damage. Anyway, do share what you decide and good
luck getting what you want

Fifty years ago everyone who worked in hospitals especially the
doctors smoked, waiting rooms had a dozen of those big stand ashtrays
and theaters had an ashtray attached to the back of every seat...
airplanes had an ashtray built into every armrest. Many smoked cigars
and pipes too, my dentist puffed cigars while working on patients.
Automobiles had ashtrays and lighters for back seat passengers...
vehicals still have an ashtray and lighter built into the dashboard.
Even my tractor has an ashtray and lighter built into the dashboard,
never been used. The ashtray in my old Landcruiser has never been
used, it holds the lighter, the lighter socket has a wire plugged in
for charging cellphones, laptops and the like.

Fifty years ago the theaters I attended allowed smoking only in
the lobby because of fire regulations.

Some theatres also allowed smoking in the balcony.
Planes frequently had a smoking section to the rear of the plane - but
the smoke got everywhere.

Maybe 40 years ago?
50-55 years ago, theaters were not 6 or more small ones, they
were 2 large theaters. Back then, smoking was allowed (mainly
because back in the 60's most people smoked). Many people did too
while watching movie.

Also back then, you paid to see a movie and you didn't get kicked
out at the end of the movie. If you came in late, you could sit
there and watch the beginning that you missed. You could even
stay and watch it again....all day long over and over if you
wanted to.

OR...you could walk to the other room and watch another movie.
One ticket paid for entrance and you could stay all day.
I think many actually did that just for the air conditioning that
they might not have had at home.

Back then too, they always showed one of those very old (1940s ?)
cartoons before the movie. Those very old cartoons are the best,
imo.

Perhaps the fire regs in Michigan were more strict.

The first movie I recall seeing in the theater was Goldfinger,
in 1964. It was one of those big old palaces with a single screen.

It's conceivable I was at the movies before I was 7 years old, but
the memory is gone.

Our family doctor was a good friend of ours and he used to smoke while
he was giving my wife her allergy shots.

Yep. Everyone smoked everywhere. We smoked in lecture halls and seminars
at university. One exception was in the Psych lab when we were doing
neurosurgery on rats, but that was because the ether we used was so
volitile.

I think that it was about 50 years ago that they started to restrict it
to the lobby. Before that you could smoke inside.

Yes, I have to use a stool to get to mine, too. I have a couple of
cheap glass vases and a wooden salad bowl set stored up there. And I
found this!

In the Fall I like to buy assorted nuts in the shell to snack on. Give
me a nutcracker! I thought I'd lost my cute little nut bowl in the
move. As a result of this thread I opened those cabinets and found it.

Isn't it cute? It's now been moved to a cabinet where I can readily
find it when I think about it. There are free standing table cabinets
in my living room for holding such things.

All the theaters we attended as teens allowed smoking.

Where I am, the theater (Sunset) and Drive ins only had one theater. Usually
something like Heckle and Jeckle.

Like ours too... we use them to store paper goods; coffee filters,
paper napkins, boxes of plastic eating utensils, and other small items
that don't spoil.

50 years ago there were no theaters in my city that had ash trays in
armrests. I worked in a hospital as a high school student and later
as a college student and never saw any smoking in the hospital. I
guess that must have been an east coast thing.

Nice cupboards though!

Because I am 'vertically challenged' I got myself one of those plastic
'step stools' several years ago. It's light enough for me to move it
around easily so I can reach the higher shelves of some cupboards, or
when cleaning windows, etc.

I don't remember ash trays in theatres. People just flicked the ashes
and the butts on the floor.
