Did anyone recently buy a new refrigerator top freezer type


Posted: Jul 20, 2015

Energy Star and I am wondering how often they defrost.  This doesnt seem to defrost often compared to the old one.  It is a GE 17.5 cu ft.  Not so big for just two of use.  Much different than the 13 year old one.  I am starting to get paranoid anymore with the way things are made and issues with new things you get.

Older refrigerators...SM - Old Anon

as they get older become more inefficient and tend to run through the defrost cycle more often. This is not a good thing and means they are sucking up more energy. Your new one is fine. No need to be paranoid. When you get your next electric bill, you'll probably notice a difference. Also, read your owners manual. There might be something in there about this.

Question: Food Left In The Refrigerator, In Cans. Does ItSep 20, 2016
I have someone insisting, to their last breath,  that I cant leave food in a tin can in the refrigerator for a few days or it's going to grow botulism.  Not even baby food in the glass jar and metal lid.   Can't even really leave a can of people food in there for even a couple hours until I use it again. I put cat food in there, left in the can.  When I buy meat baby food, I put it back in the refrigerator with the lid on it.   Every single time I am ...

When he started in with the bellering that they do, everyone else in the room was trying to keep straight faces. We just sat there and, as he went on and on and on, we just looked at each other. Then of course we all avoided him, but we didn't 'engage' him in conversation.  After his tirade, he just sat there with a mad look on his face until it was time to leave. It's great to have this as a place where we don't have to keep a straight face. Love it! ...

What Type Of Bread Is Okay??Aug 19, 2012
Hi all, I'm trying to be healthy lately. I've lost 18 pounds just being good.  Part of my reason for wanting to be healthy is, besides my weight, high sugar (not diabetes yet) and high cholesterol. I stopped eating white bread. I thought I had it made with whole-grain bread, since I love it, but then I read here and other places that it's not good, particularly in terms of insulin production. I also know that wheat has morphed such that I almost may as well be eating white ...

It turns out that Direct TV couldn't get a "line of sight" to their satellite and so couldn't install.  I called Dish Network, and they're supposed t ...

Type Of Rolls/bread Do You Serve At Thanksgiving?Nov 24, 2009
I prefer very soft rolls.  I like a certain type from the store that are just cheap little things but they are so good. (probably really bad for me but it's Thanksgiving after all).  I also like Costco's rolls, but the bag is so big.  I've made Pillsbury cresent rolls before but don't want to use the oven any more than I have to.  Do you make your own bisquits, do you use Pillsbury, frozen or just buy off the shelf?  Do you only serve one type? ...

Anyone else with this strange habit?  I use the pedal with my right foot and have to have my left leg crossed over.  I also can't stand to have the little things ...

They also call it "reality" TV, and as so often happens, reality is beginning to imitate art.  This morning I was interested in watching a program about people who buy houses, renovate and flip them.  What I got to watch was a very obviously ginned up, nasty, crude, continually vulgar fight among the different "partners" as to who would do what, what would be done, how it should be done, and virtually EVERY aspect of the renovation.  These "partners" were shoving each other, cuss ...
