LOL I deleted all the silly cross-posted ****ing contests simply to say I
agree with you, Janet. There's absolutely no reason to have a chest-type
freezer when you can get one you don't have to defrost every few months. I
don't open my upright frost free freezer and stare into it, mesmerized. I
know what's in there and exactly where it is. I open the door and take it
out. Close the door. Done. I don't have to dig around to find what I
want. I have everything organized.
