Yes, I am guilty of all of the above. And the entry about about the kitchen stove fits me to a T. I still have the round burners--I simply cannot cook good on a flat top stove--and everyone I visit anymore has one. They all fuss when they come to see me and I still have an "old fashioned stove". Oh well. I guess when this one burns out, I'll have to go shopping on CL. That seems to be the only place you can find them anymore.
