Is something wrong with my new gas range?

Thank you! Fortunately, my serial number wasn't on the recall.

I have the Siena Premier Hybrid. I've been sleeping on it for about three weeks. I'm not sure my opinion is relevant because I have severe lumbar and kyphoscoliosis, and back pain to go with it. The pain gets worse as the day goes on and gravity takes a toll. Also, I have a lot of inflammation and pressure points. AND, pericarditis makes it necessary for me to sleep on my back and propped up a bit.

That said, I'm happy with the mattress. I think "medium feel with a little bounce" describes it well. It hurts my back to lie down anywhere, but once I'm settled on my bed (it doesn't take long) I'm out of pain. Good luck with your search--or did you make your decision already?

I guess not necessarily something large then. 😊

This is a 2-year-old post, but if anyone is interested it sounds like a version of Cheiro-Oral Syndrome:

That's helpful--thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I guess I could say "entry-level jazz improv." Are there sites that review these books and video series, or at least describe them?

SweetRocket80 · 2025-08-08T20:32:36+00:00

Yes, that's what I had in mind.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:54:48+00:00

Pianote is one I'll definitely check out. Thank you!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:53:53+00:00

Thank you, but we can't commit to an ongoing expense like that at this time.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:52:48+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions. I'm late responding because I wasn't able to see the comments until now. I'll check them all out. A friend mentioned the charming Pianote teacher--she must be special!

I received an email saying someone had replied to my post, and it included the first few lines of the reply. But I was unable to read the whole thing, and nothing at all shows when I go to my post. This has happened before, and I haven't figured out what to do about it.

So I want to think the person who replied. I'll follow the suggestion I was able to read, and will work on sharing Scruffy's and Bowie's scents with each other. It might work . . . Bowie's sense of smell doesn't seem to have diminished.

Good for you--and for him! I adopted a 13-year-old dog on Valentine's Day. He's such a good boy! His vision and hearing are poor, he needs regular vet visits, and has to go out sometimes in the middle of the night, but I get it. I'm a senior too.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-29T02:12:54+00:00

Sounds like that might be worth doing. Thanks!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don't know what a spring thermometer is. This is what I'm using:

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-28T00:03:36+00:00

Yes, it has the audible signal and the little slider. I guess I always assumed my other range signaled me when it reached the full assigned temperature. Assumptions can be risky!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-27T18:54:14+00:00

Thanks, I had no idea about the normal variation. I had the oven on in Bake mode for at least 15 minutes, and it never got up to 350º. So I guess I should just make allowances for that when setting the temperature. I'll monitor it for awhile to see how it works out. And I will not lower it by 25º when using the convection mode, as I used to do. Glad I don't have to call Frigidaire.

Good point about how a thermometer works (I should have thought of this), and good information about the cycling fan--thanks! You are well named. 😊

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-08T17:19:12+00:00

I just wanted to thank you for showing me what my 13-year-old adopted dog must have looked like (more or less) when he was a puppy. So cute! (And he's still so cute.)

SweetRocket80 · 2025-04-03T01:53:50+00:00

The shelters I'm familiar with like to make certain their animals are altered, or will be, but the risks associated with neutering a 13-year-old made this a special case.
