I could.This is the first fridge I've ever had that had one, it's
convenient, but easily done without for me.

They are indeed live! I just called. 11-7 M-Sat, 12-5 Sundays.

I think we schedule this for a local CommunityCafe trip! It should be
pretty near Whole foods I bet? Yup, scanned, next center oceanwards of
it.

You are more familiar with that area than I. Is there a little eatery
(other than McDees and such) that is 7$ or under for a little lunch
that you would recommend?

I've never hooked my ice maker up. I do use ice but not enough
to warrant having one in the freezer.

Same here. I don't even keep ice cube trays in my freezer.

Gary, I don't know who makes Whirlpool refrigerators now, and I absolutely love my washer,
dryer, and stove, but the fridge I bought conked out (condenser) after only 5 years. Their
layout was perfect for my needs. But I replaced it with a GE, which seems to be working
fine, but the layout, especially the way the doors are configured, sucks. When I looked for
a replacement for the Whirlpool, I naturally looked at those again, and the reviews for the
fridges at that time were about 75% "don't bother." So I didn't. The reviews all mentioned the
condenser.

Ice makers are one of man's greatest invention. The in-door ice dispenser seems to be trouble prone though. I've had to replace the trap door mechanism on our Samsung. The gasket to the dispenser to the ice maker is not sealing, and the ice maker seems to be leaking some water onto the ice. It looks like I'm going to have to replace the ice maker. Other than that, it's really peachy.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

Or me, no ice ever. Unless there is some singular occasion and I can plan ahead.

I always keep two trays in the freezer but I rarely use them.

- For myself, one cube in my 30oz cup in the summer when
tap water is just a bit too warm. No need in winter.

- the ferrets always got one in their water bowl for the same
reason. To cool the water plus they liked to play with the
ice cube a bit. It was a novelty to them.

- My daughter loves iced coffee so whenever she comes to visit,
I'll make 2 trays of fresh ice.

There used to be some like that but all are gone now. It's either fast
food or more exclusive restaurants in that area. There are some for
about $10 each though for lunch. Two chinese places. An Indian food
buffet (Nawab) but I don't know their prices. Farther down the road
(Laskin Road) is Beach Pub. It's a popular local restaurant with very
good food. Lunch specials and regular menu. With tip, a lunch will run
you about $10. They are very busy between 11am and 1pm so go before or
after that time frame. They were featured on "Diners, Drive ins and
Dives a few years ago. Very good food.

PS - if you go to Beach Pub, right across the street is the health food
store, be sure to check that out. They have a long isle of bulk herbs
and spices at good prices. This is where I get mine. Name: The Heritage
Store. It's also an all organic/vegetarian store.

sf must be suffering from brain hemerrhoids... whada ya espect when
she plops her 300 pound ass down.

I said I don't *butter* mushy packaged white bread, for buttering I
use crusty breads and not often. Actually I rarely butter any
bread... I mostly use mustard/mayo on bread for coldcut sandwhiches. I
probably haven't used the toaster in months and then for an English
muffin, my wife mostly uses the toaster but for 100% whole wheat
English muffins, or various 12/8 grain breads and she uses her
favorite seedy raspberry jam, no butter. I sometimes eat her grainy
bread but not toasted and no butter and I like orange marmalade.
Better than 99% of butter here is used for cooking, not spreading...
last night butter was melted on baked potatoes and frozen whole green
beans (Pictsweet) nuked, with left over medium rare eye round sliced
paper thin, hers barely warmed in the nuker, mine cold on Italian
bread with ketchup, this time Hunt's because it was on sale in town...
they also had Frenchs spicy brown mustard, two large bottles/$4 but I
bought one to try it and was charged $2... no need to buy the multiple
to get the sale price. Frenchs spicy brown is pretty good, on par
with Guldens but is in a nicer squeeze bottle that sucks back the last
bit when let go, no mess under the flip top cap. As I said I buy
cheapo packaged breads on sale for winter critters, but never
buttered, however I drizzle it with EVOO, in winter critters need the
fat. When I'm trimming meats I roll the fat trimmings in cheap
packaged bread and slice it into hors doovers, crows love that.
There's most definitely something very ill about sf, MENTAL!... if you
didn't refer to her psychosis I planned to let it go, actually I read
it yesterday but had totally forgotten until you mentioned her mental
illness. sf needs help, a 12 step program, but with her 300 pound ass
the most she is capable of is taking two steps. LOL-LOL

Ok thanks! We generally make the outings fairly early (especially if
doing Whole Foods as it's tending to get very crowded after about 10am).

Last trip we did the Farmers Market (the one off Dam Neck at the foot
of Rosemont) then had Icecream at the Creamery there so as to both sit
a bit and wait for the Ichiban Grocery on Lynnhaven RD to open at 11.
We won't be doing an outdoor event again until probably May. Generally
something once a month except we normally gap Nov/Dec as folks are too
busy.

I'll try to remember to send you an offlist email when we get to Asian
Grocery again so you can hop along if you want to. The nice thing about
group shopping there, is you can split the various veggie bags (which
are sized a bit big for most of us) down to what works for just 1-2
meals for a person. The place can be a little confusing if not used to
such produce.

Why didn't you replace the condenser? I had a refrigerator that did
it too, but it was still under warranty so I called the repairman and
that thing lasted another 15-20 years. I think we replaced it because
it was the old fashioned deep style and I wanted the shallower counter
depth.

I don't buy sliced bread, even when buying from a bakery I don't have
the loaf sliced, I prefer to slice loaves myself. The Price Chopper
here has a very nice in-store bakery that bakes several types of
bread, nicely well baked and crusty.
http://www.pricechopper.com/fresh_ideas/bakery

I didn't replace the condenser because the cost was over $400 and they would have had
to remove the refrigerator to do the job. A new GE that fit in the same spot, 22cf., was
around $600. If I did the repair, I might have another condenser which would fail too
soon. I couldn't predict how long it would last. I don't require anything like an auto
ice maker or the like, so my choice was perfect for me.

It depends on the bread. I get whole grain or sourdough wholewheat
from my baker and I get it sliced. I don't eat much bread so it is kept
in the freezer and I snap off a slice or two as needed. If we are
expecting more people and there is a good chance of using it up within a
day or two I get unsliced.

I used to buy bread unsliced. Now I have it sliced, both for
portion control and for freezing, as you said.

*Around* $600... you bought it, don't you know... that's an
unbelievebly low price for a brand new 22cf GE fridge... seems you
bought for around half price.

LMAO! I'm not siding with you here to pick on sf but that comment
was pretty darn funny since you have teased her about weight in
the past anyway. hahahaha

Hopefully, sf will even chuckle over that one and just
let it go.

I do. It's not all the bread I buy but plain cheap sliced white bread
has a purpose here. Crusty bread or 12-grain bread isn't going to make
me last any longer. Soft dinner rolls slathered with semi-soft butter
are so very good at times too.

Occasionally I make my own bread. Coming soon is some cinnimon-raisin
bread. Too expensive to buy but so easy to make your own which is MUCH
better. I've got all the ingredients...just need to get on it some
weekend day off.

You're a classic passive-aggressive, Gary.

Not fanning the fire at all. It was a funny comment. You seem to have
turned old, bitter, and lost your sense of humor. Lighten up, for god's
sake. Hopefully sf will get a laugh out of his silly comment.

YOU...seem to have finally reached old age. Grumpy old women. :-D

You know how it isn't considered funny anymore to joke about "retards"?
It's also not really all that okay to joke about other people's weight (or
skin color, or disfigurement, etc.), unless they're the one doing the
joking first. And you should have figured out by now, that if people get
offended by your "teasing", you've gone too far. The problem isn't with
the target. The problem is with you.

Yes, he is. I think he's been alone too long and is trying to pass off his
own bitterness as humor. It doesn't work, anymore than the "old woman"
"bitter" "grumpy" etc., works when someone calls him on his obvious attempt
to stoke the flames.

Here we go again. The girl gang sticking up for each other.
I'm not aggressive ever. I have never written a purposely mean thing to
anyone here ever. I like to joke and tease often. I don't back off
later, I just admit I was teasing once someone gets all mad and
offended. You should have figured this out by now but no. always the
grim response and trying to diagnose me. lol

Did Sheldon's response make you mad, sf? Lighten up, it was funny.

This is a tough and mean group. Many pansies here getting offended all
the time though. I'm harmless. Sheldon is harmless. Lighten up people.
Your end-of-life years don't have to be so miserable.

I get to save some money doing it too. Since I am going to be throwing
it in the freezer as soon as I get home I can get the day old bread. My
take on it is that there is not a big difference in quality between the
fresh frozen and day old frozen. I save some money and the baker gets
rid of unsold bread.

Shel, I have never paid more than $700 for a fridge. Trust me, it was brand-new.
I bought it at Lowe's during one of their appliance sales. Prices here in Iowa
probably are not the same as in NY.

It used to be easy to get a refrigerator for under 800 bucks. It's a little harder to find one for 700 but I certainly could do it. Thanks to those French door designs, the sky's the limit as far as refrigerators goes these days.

I'd love to have one of the new French door refrigerators but I
can't justify tossing out my 22 year old Whirlpool just because
I have a hankering.

You'll save a few bucks on the electric bill. If you save, say. $12 a
month you can pay for that new fridge in only 125 months. Top models
can be 200 months.

That was easy. Hope you enjoy your new fridge.

Gee, who can pass up such savings?

:-/

No, Sheldon, I don't remember. It was 5 years ago. I do remember I paid over $600
for my new tall-tub GE dishwasher when I remodeled the kitchen in 2006. But a refrigerator
doesn't really have much in the way of lots of moving parts, it is essentially an insulated
box. But the few parts mine does have are expensive to repair or replace. Like I said
earlier, I don't need an auto ice maker or an external cold water dispenser or any of
that stuff. I am sure I could spend twice as much without really trying, but why should
I?

Our old fridge died in the spring and the new one I bought was (I
think) $800 Canadian.

I wanted the most basic fridge I could find. The old one had a bottom
freezer - the kind with the door, not the drawer - and I hated it. I'm
happy with the one I bought. It's a basic Moffatt.

Our stove died last month, and I was a bit pickier about the
replacement. There are certain features I like to have in a range. Got
a nice Whirlpool glass-top range and so far I really like it.

not really - 4th graders have advanced to word play - e.g., why would
