Well, since the last post, I'm happy to report that:
1. The e-mail hack has been successfully dealt with
2. The phone problem turned out to be due to a bad modem in our DVR and with the replacement of the DVR (an upgrade at no cost to us), the phones are working well.
3. We were able to find a current model microwave of the same manufacture and size as the old one that has been delivered and installed and working

All At Once
Yesterday was a home mini-disaster. First, it seems that one of our e-mail accounts was hacked and several acquaintances on it's mailing list received messsages asking that money be sent to England to bail M. out of jail. We are in the process of closing that account. Fortunately we don't use that e-mail service for personal stuff.
Then our residential phone service went on the fritz and our provider says it might take until Monday to get around to checking it out.
Finally, last night, our 10 year old microwave decided to bite the dust and since the space available for a microwave in our kitchen is limited and fixed, we will have to wait a week for one that fits to be delivered. You don't know how many things you do with a microwave until you don't have one.
None of these is particularly serious and all should be resolved within a few days. Updates of progress will be forthcoming.

Ah, The Good Old Days
When I was a "young" adult, I was usually pretty confident that my particular take on things was pretty accurate and it was clear that differing opinions were flawed in some way.
Now that I'm older, I find that I'm not nearly as certain of my lines of thought and much more cautious about asserting them, at least to casual acquaintances and strangers.
In these times of polarized opinions, it would be useful for everyone, at least on occasion, to argue a point from different sides to see that there may be some good points on many sides of an argument and identify possible ways to compromise (unlike this character from Wiley's comic, "Non Sequitur").

Just Checking
It's been a long, long time since I posted anything and I was just curious if I could still recall my Sign In password.
Apparently I can!
