I don't want to defrost though, don't you have to do that with chest freezers?

I think I saw frost free chest freezers at Sears a while back.

Only bad thing about chest freezers is if something is in the very bottom you have to move everything out to get to it. My Grandmother had one years ago.

It's a lot easier to arrange and retrieve things from an upright.

12. How does this add up..one in six Americans are hungry each day. 
 Is hungry..."adequate food"?..it is bull shit, lies and distortion of facts.

Because "hunger" is another bullshit term in this country that goes hand-in-hand with "poor."

"Hunger" is being defined as a lack of RDA nutrients, so any kid that gets stuffed with Happy Meals or Hot Pockets on a regular basis instead of a balanced diet will end up being classified as suffering from "hunger" even though they are anything but.

Hunger is real. Right now, I'm starving for one of those Pizza Hut pasta pans, a can of Pringles, and a Rolling Rock.

I have 16 of the things listed but the Gubbamint didn't give me any of them. I acquired my household goods the old fashioned way, I worked for them and purchased them cash on the barrel head after budgeting appropriately.

I am a little confused, does that make me kapitalist swine or am I destitute?

I've stopped by McDonalds after work every day so far this week for a Pineapple Mango Smoothie.  And as long the daytime high temp stays over 90, I think I'll keep on doing it.

:cheersmate: I love the old Rolling Rock, grew up on the stuff. Gawd I hope the rumors are true that it might go back to being brewed in Latrobe, Pa. because AB hasn't done so well with it. That Jersey swamp swill water isn't fooling anybody!

I have a separate full size freezer and that thing is handy!!! It saves me boat loads of money cause I can buy meat and frozen stuff in bulk. I bet it has already paid for itself. Once it's packed up, it doesn't really cost that much to run. Only thing that I hate is I bought one that doesn't self defrost, they were a lot cheaper, so I have to defrost it once a year. That is a messy job.

Same here!  Why the heck didn't I get one that doesn't need defrosting  :banghead:

That is a chore that needs doing very soon, and I'm going to ask my weekend visitor to "help me, Rhonda -  help, help me Rhonda"  :yahoo:

What stood out to me was that the Heritage study was from 2005, and 76% of the poor had cellphones, before the government started giving them out for free. (in fairness, it started under GWB and the Pelosi reign, damn you all to hell, but you did give rise to the Tea Party).

Well, I thought it might change when AB bought the brand, but I honestly can't detect a difference between Latrobe and St. Louis.
Of course, all the taste experts say anything brewed in America is swill, so what do I know?
Hell, along with about 90% of America, I even think Budweiser is good.

Ex=formerly, used to be.  spert=drip under pressure.

Most of the "experts" haven't a friggin clue of which they speak.  They try comparing Euro micros to US majors and say it's crap, or pilsners to stouts, IPAs to lambics, etc.

Yes, I've had some good beer overseas.  I've also had a lot of shitty beer overseas.  Most of those "critics" would do well to not speak too poorly of US beer, lest they be stuck with some overseas brews such as San Miguel, Fosters, Boddingtons, Red Stripe, Carta Blanca, Old Speckled Hen, etc.
