Maybe if you hadn't wasted so much time and energy on toasting stale bread the house would be DONE SIR! DONE!

By George, you're right on all counts. Dammit.

I worked it a couple years ago when we had to put the clock back an hour. Not fun working a 12 hour shift which turned into 13 and still only getting paid 12 hours.

We got paid for the number of hours actually worked. If I worked 11 hours because the clock moved back an hour, I got paid for 11 hours.

And isn't it interesting people never seem to "forget" to move their clocks back one hour and show up an hour early for work but they sure "forget" to move their clocks ahead one hour and always show up an hour late.

Which reminds me of a story.......

Many years ago, my husband and I went to church on a Sunday. Of course, we were rushing because we were almost late after trying to get ourselves and two kids (at the time) ready for church. We drop the kids off at the daycare at the church (NO ONE SAYS A THING TO US) and we breeze into the church. All the seats are taken so we have to go way up in front. As we sit down and get settled in, the Reverend delivers the final blessing and the service is over. I was absolutely embarrassed beyond belief. I don't know why the day care people didn't mention to us the service was almost over. It was the weekend we turned the clock forward one hour and we had no idea it was that weekend.

Wait a minute Vikingdad...
Maybe it's all you. Maybe YOU aren't impressed ENOUGH by this toaster. Did you watch the video? Mine's just like it.

I cannot believe that anybody would work for an hour unpaid. Seriously. And if the employer allows it to happen that is a crime. If I had any employees working the night shift on a time change they would get paid for the number of hours worked, not what the damned clock said. I had a boss try to adjust the clocks once after I had punched in one day. He relented when I told him I was going home while on the clock to wait out that hour he was taking away from me. He said he would fire me and I said if he did I would see him in court for payroll fraud.

Oh well , it WAS a decent day
A certain someone has been on or messing with the phone almost non stop , So were watching a movie and said person goes to the bathroom to do nails but tells me to keep the movie going .
So Im sitting here eating ice cream and somehow chip another m'effing tooth so I get up go to bathroom , open door and she is on the phone discussing what color she should do her nails , I ask who she is talking to and she says its one of her girlfriends .
I swear I heard a dudes voice , so I ask her about it after she abruptly hung up who it was again and she tells me the same girl . '' Damn Sure sounded like a dude to me !''
'' Well it wont ""

I swear I am going to take that phone and either shove it up her poop chute or put it in 5 pounds of tannerite .

Whats the saying ? If it walks like a duck , quacks like a duck and swims like a duck then its a duck ?
I foresee covert operations

Now I want to go dig mine out of the attic and see if I could fix it. Those things are as shiny as a mirror, too, aren't they?

Why don't they make them anymore? Because now they make cheap toasters that you have to replace every few years.

And, if we all had as much fun with the toaster as you are, no one would get any work done. Use that toast to make croutons......or throw it outside for the birds.

Yeah, what is it with some technologies? I mean back in the day all you had to do was drop the slice of bread into the toaster, it would take it down, toast it and spit it back out. Now you have to go to all the trouble of actually pushing the slider button down. Lemme see... do I like Chinese tech better or good old American made... Uhm, China, or America, wow, that's a really difficult decision....

Well Axxe, the toasters they make these days are cheesy, crappy, absolute junk. In fact they are landfill fodder, right from the store. So I don't blame you a bit, in fact you have a lot more control over how you want the toast to turn out doing it the way you do it. My Grandma did it that way too. Her toast was the best on earth, especially since she made her own sourdough bread.

I'm not being sarcastic. I truly am freaking amazed and blown away by this simple device who's only purpose for existence is to lightly scorch sliced bread on both sides. This is the most awesome damn toaster I've ever seen in my whole miserable little life. I am not worthy. I am not worthy. No, not even a little.

Why the hell don't they still make these?

I am amazed by this Toaster too! Its like the Garand of Toasters!!

I think you need to keep this amazing marvel!!
