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

Nuthin'. No Christmas here, although I'll put up a small tree (might be
fake!) for the first time in about 15 years in honor of the ornaments Damsel
sent to me

Funny... We are running a similar thread on another list,
but the, ah, "wish list" is running to the adult side. <lol>

It's quite amusing.....

I'm sorry... I hope you get someone to call back soon! It really is,
and I don't say this to make you envious, SO worth it. Good luck!
