I'll jes hafta watch her even closer than I did. In fact, I do check
the microwave when she uses it, as I did not want to see another m/w
go south (this # 5!) and I DID check this time, too. Turns out
opening the door on the empty oven is apparently what triggered its
demise. It was metal cups, last time. I may jes do without, as we're
probably not gonna buy another one, even if I do fix most of Mom's
meals, already. The m/w was the one of the last things she had some
autonomy over.

DOH!! ...see!? I'm yap/typing away and my fresh cuppa joe has gone
cool and I can't reheat it in the m/w. grrrr....

Buy a small thermos! Lots cheaper and your mom can't turn it on
