part of that is because you don't share the fun stuff, not getting on you
here but consider;

you ha d said you asked for the freezer for you birthday, then nothing
else... to me, this is quite an on topic post as it is an appliance that
stores food, encourages savings and makes it easier to prepare food because
you can have more variety, and if you get enough of a bargian on the meat
either you save the money, or be like me and sometimes buy a luxury food...

i am not nagging but i sure would have liked to read a seperate post of,
where you shopped, when you bought it, why you bought it, and even the
stresses and strains of getting it into the house,

i hope this makes sense, Lee
