[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 565556, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]For the last couple of weeks I've been doing some Goodwill shopping for kitchen essentials. None are for me, but rather for a family from Afghanistan that managed to escape the Taliban takeover. In a cart, I had several pots and pans, a blender, electric coffee maker, baking sheets, etc. when I tested a rice cooker to see if it heated up. A woman looking in the kitchen "tools" area asked if I ran a resale shop. I said, no, that I was purchasing these items for a recent immigrant family from Afghanistan. She then remarked, "How will they know what to do with the electric appliances?" To which I replied, "They may have learned a bit about these contraptions when they were students at the University of Minnesota Medical School." But, while I was at Goodwill, today was green sticker half price day and I picked up a 19" LED TV for $4.50 that I'll put in my finished basement and use as a monitor for an I3 Asus Chromebox that's been awaiting hook-up.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
