I had a run of Toastmasters that didn't last for shit, so I told the ex we should go toaster shopping and the only criterion was that we should not buy a Toastmaster.

After looking over all the toasters she settled on... a Toastmaster.

Fucking control freak. That was year 6 of the marriage and that's the exact point at which it should have ended. The marriage was broke. Instead we tried repairing it and it went another 5 years.

The Toastmaster died quickly, and I bought the best-reviewed sub-$50 toaster on Amazon, which was a Black & Decker 4 slot deal. It's gone about 8 years now, and one of the levers broke, but the nice thing about a 4-slot is that if one side goes you still have the other side to work with.
