So I Got Me A Talking Toaster

[SPKrazy]

well not really a talking toaster, but one with a radio. Just what everyone needs.

Inspired by TexanWitch's thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6073137

Mine is silver. They had red, yellow, and silver in stock at my big lots.

Now I'm hanging out here, reading some things I have to read for work. And hoping that I get sleepy before 2 am tonight since I have to drive to Little Rock in the morning.

What are you doing tonight?

[SPKrazy]

1. kkklck

it's okay to be envious

you can get your own at big lots though


:rofl:

[texanwitch]

2. Well I am envious.

My little store only had one color to pick from.

Going to have to drive all the way over to the big Big Lots to see what colors I can pick from there.

Everyone needs a toaster radio.

[SPKrazy]

3. Everyone needs a toaster radio

and to have a choice of colors is to be privileged.

I really liked the silver one. What color is yours?

[texanwitch]

6. Mine is silver but I would like to buy a red one.

Have you used your toaster yet.

[SPKrazy]

7. Not Yet

I still have it in the box. I'm going to open it this weekend and bring it into the world right making breakfast.

[SPKrazy]

8. If You Can't Find A Red One Let Me Know

I don't mind picking you up one and getting it to you.

[texanwitch]

12. Thanks.

The little Big Lots is very close to my house but they to do not always have everything.

[SPKrazy]

14. Let Me Know...

[Xipe Totec]

4. To me, a Talking Toaster is,

a PC with voice recognition software.

[SPKrazy]

9. But can it toast bread?

[Xipe Totec]

16. If you play high intensity graphics games,

Like Command and Conquer,

you can toast your bread on the graphics card :hi:

[SPKrazy]

20. That is interesting, I bet you can

I think I'm going to stick with my $20 radio toaster. It really is cool.

[Little Wing]

5. My idea of a talking toaster is much hotter

edited



can't have any nipples showing

[SPKrazy]

11. Well While She Is Hot, And She Might Be Able To Toast

she isn't on sale at Big Lots that I know of so she didn't come into the picture for this episode.

[texanwitch]

15. She is kind of thin, needs to eat some toast.

Who is it by the way.

[SPKrazy]

19. I don't know, but she needs some toast!

we have some toasters and I will gladly toast something for her so she can put on some weight.

[texanwitch]

22. She needs at least 10 to 15 lbs on her.

She would look so much better with a little more weight.

[SPKrazy]

23. I Agree She needs a little meat on her bones

The sad part is that she is prolly even thinner than that because she is posing for a picture and the camera puts 10 lbs on you.

[texanwitch]

27. Your are right.

It is so sad that women in Hollywood have to make themselves so thin.

[SPKrazy]

29. It's Our Culture

we demand thin people, that no one really looks like. Why? So they can look thin on camera i guess.

It is sad.

[texanwitch]

39. Little girls look at the pictures and think that is how women should look.

Even small girls have image problems now.

[SPKrazy]

40. I Know, I have a niece who is thin as a rail and thinks she is fat

she is 11, and has thought this since she was about 8.

I don't know what to think. Her parents seem concerned about her, but I wonder how she got to be fixated on her weight.

sad

[texanwitch]

46. She see's the to thin women on TV and at the movies.

I hope you niece gets better.

[SPKrazy]

52. I Do Too

I worry about her I don't think she's anorexic but she's at risk for that.

I hope she gets better.

21. Tricia Helfer: You have GOT to watch Battle Star Galactica

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Helfer

[SPKrazy]

25. I've Not Gotten Into BSG.

Actually I watch less and less TV these days. I have little patience for it anymore.

[texanwitch]

30. Do we have a lot in common.

I have the TV on but I don't really watch it.

I spend my time here at DU.

[SPKrazy]

32. I Spend Too much time here I'm afraid

but the TV lost its appeal long ago

rather read or talk, or be on DU.

[texanwitch]

34. I have cable so I can play on the computer.

I am on DU alot.

I may not be posting but I am here reading.

[SPKrazy]

35. I have a DSL connection

it isn't as fast as cable, but it works just fine.

[texanwitch]

36. Other people live here and are TV watchers.

I used to watch Buffy, Angel, Charmed, StarGate, and a few other shows.

Now I catch a shows here and there but I could live without TV no problem.

I just need my computer.

[SPKrazy]

37. Yeah, I Could Easily Not Watch Any shows

and be just fine.

I used to watch TV.

Now there are a few games I like to catch, so not completely unhooked.

LOL

[Xipe Totec]

33. I don't have cable

except for ISP. Weird, huh?

So I have a friend that records the shows for me, so I can watch them with a week's delay.

Then, when it becomes available on DVD, I buy it. It's that good.

The show is extremely metaphysical; Kind of like Bugs Bunny, in a way: it speaks in a different language to children than it does to adults.

Only more so.

I highly recommend the show; at least from the pilot through season 2.5, after that, I can't vouch.

[TOhioLiberal]

10. looking for someone to talk to...

...without bringing up the 'D' word! :rofl:

How long of a drive is it to Little Rock?

[SPKrazy]

13. Little RocK Is About 164 miles from Fort Smith

it takes me about 2 hours and 15 minutes without traffic. There will be traffic tomorrow for the last 30 miles heading towards Little Rock.

The drive home should be a breeze

[TOhioLiberal]

17. That's a long drive...

...hope you've got some tunes to listen to. I hate driving long distance without something to hear.

[SPKrazy]

18. I Will, I Have CD's and I've Got This Thing That You Plug Into

an ipod that you can then tune your radio station to it and listen to your playlists on the radio station over your vehicle's stereo system. Got me a double shot espresso can from Starbucks. Will pick me up a Cappacino, maybe some amphetamines (kidding about that one) and drive with the tunes blaring. The worst thing is that I will be driving east in the morning. There might not be much sun which will be good. I hate that drive really. It is a pretty boring drive.

I just have to stay awake and I'll be fine.

[TOhioLiberal]

24. I've got one of those...

...FM transmitters. It's cool!

I mentioned you on another thread. Hypnotoad has on of those 'answer these questions' thread. You and Keith Olbermann are the people I'd like to meet. :woohoo:

[SPKrazy]

26. Me And Keith Olbermann

Well, I'm honored to be in such famous company as someone you'd like to meet

[TOhioLiberal]

28. I've got a better chance...

...of meeting you, than I do of meeting KO. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

31. That May Be True

although it would be cool to meet up with Keith too!

[Kajsa]

38. That's so cool, Southpaw!

What will they think of next?
;-)

I'm taking Tylenol after a long visit at the dentist's office today.

It's the worst- a pounding, throbbing tooth he can't find anything wrong
with- it has a root canal! WTH? why the pain?

He cleaned the area very well, and filled a cavity I did have in another tooth.

So, I'm crossing my fingers that this will work.

Tooth pain is no fun.

;-(

[SPKrazy]

41. Hopefully He Didn't Introduce Any Bacteria When He Did The root

canal

but probably its just the trauma. Mouths are very tender.

My teeth hurt after having them cleaned.

:hi:

[Kajsa]

42. It's an old root canal

that another ( lousy) dentist did.
It's been quiet for over 12 years.

I'm just hoping for the best!

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

44. Hopefully It Will Heal Well Without Problems

:hug:

[Kajsa]

87. Thanks, Southpaw.

It's still sore this morning, which was
to be expected.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

88. Gargle With Saltwater

try TW's advice

Take some ibuprofen

if all else fails, call your dentist and get something to treat the cause of the pain and if it hurts, then something for the damned pain!

Trust your HP to look out for you in this regard.

[texanwitch]

43. When I had my root canal I use oil of oregano capsules to take care of the pain.

It will worked quickly, in just a few hours.

[SPKrazy]

45. Hmmm, Not Heard Of That

oil of oregano capsules

[texanwitch]

48. It really worked for me.

They are a little expensive but worth it.

[Kajsa]

86. Thanks for the tip, texanwitch.

I haven't heard of that one before.

OK- this may sound dumb, but I've
gotta ask--

The oil is used as a topical analgesic, right?

:hi:

[Zookeeper]

47. Southpaw! You're breaking my heart here!

That is the coolest thing. However, I already have a toaster and, roughly, eight radios.

Your bad influence had me looking in the phone book for a Big Lots.

Must...not...buy.....:crazy:

(BTW, I made a joke on a thread about a combination TV/Microwave which someone thought was really weird. I now feel somewhat vindicated. :headbang: )

[texanwitch]

49. Everyone needs a toaster radio.

It makes great toast.

[Zookeeper]

50. Well, we do seem to go through a lot of toasters....

(They don't make 'em like they used to.)

Maybe I DO need a back-up, Texanwitch....:toast:

[texanwitch]

51. Yes you do.

The toaster radio looks nice and one can never have to many radios.

Family and friends will be in awe of your toaster radio.

If the toaster should break in a few years you still will have the radio.

[SPKrazy]

55. All Good Points

it's a logical choice, a toaster radio.

you've done well TexanWitch. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

54. Get ONe, Only $20

they are nice looking too

[SPKrazy]

53. I Really Like The Toaster Radio Combination

it just seems so perfect!

A TV Microwave sounds good too. If you watch TV you could watch the microwave TV while you waited.

[texanwitch]

56. I have heard of a combination of refrigerator and TV.

I quess you can hook it up to cable.

[SPKrazy]

57. I Guess Then When One Is Staring At the Refrigerator

the TV could be on as well??


:rofl:

[texanwitch]

58. Look for these feature in a few years on most refrigerators.

I think I will pass this up.

[SPKrazy]

59. I'd Rather Have Just The Icemaker and Water Filter

maybe a computer to plan a menu

but a TV? no thanks

[texanwitch]

60. Now a computer.

I could go for that, one can never have to many computers.

[SPKrazy]

61. Yeah, You Could Get On DU On The Frig!

LOL

that's just what we need, right?

[texanwitch]

63. I need to spend more time on DU.

I am working toward 5000 posts, not to many more to go.

[SPKrazy]

64. 367 to go!

follow my lead, I've somehow got more than 11K now. I spend too much time.

You've been here longer than me too.

Something is terribly wrong with me..:crazy:

[texanwitch]

66. I will never get llk or close to it.

My goal has been 5000, 11k is just a dream.

I spend to much time reading in GD before coming to the Lounge.

[SPKrazy]

69. I Used To Spend A Lot Of Time In GD

or in the R/T forum of all places

I now just can't tolerate the GD or R/T forums.

I might be able to in the future. My personal life has enough stress and strife without adding the bonus of the tension and squabbling in those forums.

I used to love it though. Just not now. The lounge is either healing or destructive. I choose to believe it is healing.

[texanwitch]

73. I still go to GD for news but the Lounge is my home.

It is mostly peaceful here, and I like the kitty pics.

[SPKrazy]

74. There Are A Lot Of Kitty Pics

do you have a kitty? or more?

I like the lounge too. I feel at home here.

[texanwitch]

75. I have two kitties and a dog.

One cat is about 17 years old and the other one is under a year old.

My dog will be 6 years old this year.

[SPKrazy]

76. I Have a 11 month old dog

I had a 13 year old dog but I had to put him down.

I used to have cats, but my last cat bit into an electric cord behind a shelf and apparently it killed him. Found him on the floor.

I might need another cat sometime.

[texanwitch]

77. Sorry to hear about your kitty.

A cat might find you, that is why I have my youngest cat.

I found her in old house screaming her lungs out, no mama around.

She didn't know how to eat or drink but she learned fast.

[SPKrazy]

78. She learned fast

but you had a kind heart to take her in

:pals:

[texanwitch]

79. This little kitty was loud.

I couldn't leave her and she was so tame.

She is nice, big kitty now.

[SPKrazy]

80. That's Still Sweet!

and she's been getting a lot of cat food!

:rofl: :hug:

[texanwitch]

81. She wasn't very sweet when I took SNAP for her surgery.

I had to get her out of the cage to take her home, the tech's wouldn't touch her.

She was all teeth until she saw me.

[SPKrazy]

82. Her name is Snap?

sounds like an appropriate name!

[texanwitch]

83. The name did fit her when she was younger, not now.

She did not like being at the vet.

[SPKrazy]

84. My dog that died didn't like the vet either

when he was very young. But they tried to use a Loop on him, and that really didn't go over well on him.

He mellowed a lot in his old age. He was really neurotic, like he'd been abused or something when I got him. He was a Dalmatian.

[texanwitch]

85. With my dog I have to hold her head behind me so she can't see what is going on.

We were attacked by pit bulls when she was 6 months old and she had to go to the vet for treatment.

She had a bad bite on the neck, I had beat the pit bull off her with a pipe.

She does not like the Vet.

[Zookeeper]

67. You wouldn't have to miss any of the movie....

while you make your popcorn!

Actually, my ("weird") joke was meant to comment on superfluous electronic combinations. But, a toaster/radio has a certain evocative quality. I imagine it sitting on a farmhouse table covered with a checkered tablecloth in front of a window with a breeze blowing the gingham curtains.

OR, it could be sitting on a kitchen table in an old SRO apartment on Skid Row.

OR, it could be sitting on my kitchen counter! :bounce:

[texanwitch]

68. Yes the toaster radio would like great on your kitchen counter.

I don't know why someone didn't think of this sooner.

I like the design of the toaster radio.

[wildhorses]

62. hiya--

i just got off the phone. why is it my phone can go days without ringing and then














all of the sudden
