Just looking at the manual helped me even though I had been looking at that roaster for a month. I do have an oven and a crockpot, so this would have been redundant. Of course, the weight and my lack of ability to lift it so many times and the constant need for water cinched the decision for me.

Sometimes this takes a while and I realize in the meantime, I don't need it! I find I am MUCH thriftier when I give my decisions some time to percolate. I never go shopping "just to look" because I know I will find something to buy - stores are very clever at helping us with impulse buys!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-35734972757184733962016-11-06T15:21:39.874-06:002016-11-06T15:21:39.874-06:00Aodhnait,

Two questions: Will you put me on your gift list? lol Do you think I can get away with giving free calendars as gifts? just kidding on both questions.

So, picking it up and actually using it would have been most difficult.

This large calendar has the advantage of being easy to handle, no turning those thin pages. Plus, I don't have to get into my purse if this one is always at my side when I make a call. Using calendar on the computer would require the computer to be open!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-32140031275395600162016-11-05T07:43:54.029-05:002016-11-05T07:43:54.029-05:00SAM,

I go with easier which is usually less expensive.

Otherwise it's freebies from the VA, the library, etc. If necessary, we print a month or 2 at a time on the computer - lots of freebies to choose from.<br /><br />Probably should try to use the calendar function on the computer, always seems harder to use than paper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636508277340864495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-47913017440899530682016-11-05T04:45:47.493-05:002016-11-05T04:45:47.493-05:00I have a November birthday so usually I'm gift...I have a November birthday so usually I'm gifted a calendar. I've talked myself out of many items, most recently an extra expensive camera and went with easier less expensive version that fits my needs just perfectly.SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.com
