I have all those things. I just want to see President and Mrs. Bush
back in the Whitehouse again for four more prosperous years. He is a great hero for our youth.

The house is now clean, and will soon be organized, Dammit Nancy, I didn't think any responses would make me envious, but yours sure did! Thing is, I can't get any housecleaners to return my calls. I think the previous owners of the house must have been blacklisted or something. Every time I call a cleaning service, I get an answering machine, then nobody ever calls me back. Grrrr....I'm *so* envious! Bob |

One of the benefits of the bottom freezer is that the refrigerator section is up higher. Since I'm in and out of the refrigerator much more than the freezer it's nice not to have to stoop to get stuff off the lower shelves. -Mike |

Rob loves it! Amen, Sister! I will never buy another top freezer. Though I will probably not opt for the Amana again, as I have not had good luck with it, the next time I buy a fridge, it'll be a bottom freezer. I have a upright freezer, too, so I have no everyday use of the freezer part of the fridge. I use it for ingredients storage, mostly...flours, nuts, spices, a pound or 3 of butter and ice cubes. I use the fridge part 25 times for every 1 use of the freezer compartment. I love having everything I need easily at hand. Boron |

But you don't mind scrunching/kneeling to dig into that horrid abyss of a freezer... besides, who in their right mind wants to store joints of flesh in a freezer rolls out like the slabs at the morgue... goulish I tell ya!

Well, then you're an anomoly. The vast majority don't like bottom freezers (for many various and sundry reasons), evidenced by how the vast majority of fridge manufacturers no longer offer those and haven't for many years. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

Yeah, when I bought a fridge a few years ago there weren't a lot to choose from with bottom freezers. Truth be told I don't use my freezer much at all. Off the top of my head, I think all I have in my freezer right now is some ice, herbs and spices, frozen pizza dough, and some sausages I made last weekend. Oh yeah, I've also got some bannetons in there in an attempt to keep them away from the bugs. There are a lot of bugs here in the swamps. To me the main benefit of a bottom-freezered refrigerator is having the refrigerator part up higher. Take care, -Mike |
