I tried to microwave some food earlier and all of a sudden, my microwave stopped working. Now several outlets nearby in my kitchen and adjacent bathroom are out, but some of them still work. I'm not too good with electronics so I don't really understand all the breakers and GFCI stuff, but I did try pushing all the reset buttons that are on the outlets and there's still nothing. The weird thing is that this happened last week too and we were all set to get rid of the microwave (we thought that it was broken, but turns out it's not), but then the power came back on a few days later and everything was fine again. We tried checking the breakers at the side of the house and switched them on and off a few times, but there was still no power.

Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this to happen? Also, how can I get the outlets to work again? Calling an electrician is a last resort, so it would be great to get some other solutions to this problem. Thanks.

Oh, and my microwave (recently purchased) is a Hamilton Beach 1000Watt one. If you need more details I can try and give them to you.

I sprained my ankle about two weeks ago at my basketball game and most of the swelling and bruising has gone down, but it's still bigger than my other ankle. There is still some pain, especially if I put too much pressure on it or move it too suddenly. I went to the doctors last week just to make sure that it's not fractured or anything and he just told me to keep it elevated and to wrap it up. Lately I've been shooting around but running still seems to be a problem for me. I also have an ankle brace to help me support it more when I play and a different one for general use. Is it too soon for me to go back to playing basketball or do I need to rest it a little more? Season starts in like a week and I really need to start practicing again. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I think that they are way too long considering one broke off today. Can I cut them myself without having to go to a vet or is going to the vet the only option I have? Thanks in advance and no ridiculous answers please.
