How about, say, a month before Thanksgiving? That way we can admire it. :)

I always wash my new clothes - mostly because of my skin allergies. No one else in the house cares. I keep hoping my fridge will stop working - I've had my eye on a new one with French doors for the last year. Just no giving out around Thanksgiving....

My family came to hang out at the fire station and see the trucks and Heather noticed that the rescue truck has a fridge in it that might be bigger than the typical Swiss apartment fridges, which is a sort funny idea.

Sorry. There's always room for meat in MY fridge! :)

The only guy I know who washes all his vegetables and fruit and all his clothes before wearing works in the pesticide industry. He even washes his bananas. That should tell you something.

You're right about clothes, Bill: I have to wash them first; Porter doesn't see the point. I guess I'll forever by haunted by the Berton Roueché (true) story of the pesticide spill that leaked in a truck that was also carrying jeans. The kids who put their jeans on right off the shelf got horribly sick, and those whose mothers had washed them first did not. (You may or may not know about Berton Roueché's books—he's a little before your time—but if you've watched House, and I know you have, you've heard many of his stories in some form.

I don't want to hear about new GE refrigerators quitting after only a few months. :( I'm glad to hear you finally got satisfaction, but I'd rather not lose another whole day to a fridge exchange. Because you know I'd have to clean the new one from top to bottom, also....

Janet, at least you know you're getting plenty of vegetables in your diet this way!

"Why did you become a vegetarian? Was it for religious reasons? Because you don't like killing animals? Because meat is too expensive?"

"Well, no. Actually, it was because there was no room in the refrigerator."

I'm jealous of the ice maker! Yes, the space as well. Every week we play a game. Fill the fridge with the vegetables from our co-op (yes, I mean, fill every square inch) and then try it eat up everything in the fridge by the next delivery in a week. It's a challenge, but there are no month-old leftover sitting in the back that have been forgotten . . . and the door swings right over Joseph's head so I don't have to worry about him getting into it - yet. Happy to hear you got the fridge just in time. Don Aslett would be proud.

I bet you do the same with clothes, right? Odette has to wash EVERYTHING before she wears it. I'll take the shirt out of the box (I buy nearly every piece of clothing online these days), rip off the tags, and wear it right then and there. LOL.

We had a similar experience with refrigerators. Upgraded ours before it pooped out, but then the new one quit after only a few months. GE came out to fix it, couldn't, ordered parts, still couldn't get it fixed, went to replace it, and I asked to change to a different model that was the same price (ended up not liking the freezer on the bottom. I like the freezer on the side, as it turns out).

They even gave us a couple of hundred bucks for the food that spoiled.
