Maria, Greg complained once because I took 17 pairs of shoes on a 7 day cruise, but to me, it was neccessary.  As I wasn&#39;t sure what outfit I would feel like wearing on any given day, I needed to have shoes to match each one.  I think I ended up only wearing about 7 of them at the most - stuck with the most comfy sandals most of the time.   Well, I know what we will be doing this weekend - I went down to the basement around 1:00 to get a Lean Cuisine out of the freezer for my lunch and discovered that everything in it was warm.  It is a refrigerator that we keep down there , not our chest freezer which is also down there, but it was full.  Greg takes frozen dinners to the office everyday for lunch and I had just stocked up on them last Saturday.  There was also frozen meat in there and it was already thawed out and warm, so I have no idea how long it has been out, but it was working last Saturday when I took everything down there.  I had just bought 2 gallons of milk also on Saturday and they were in that refrigerator.  I told my son that I would like to take the one from my kitchen now down there and get a stainless steel one for up here but my son said we really need to get a smaller one like we had down there because they will have to take it down a flight of stairs, turn on a landing and then go down another 5 stairs and the basement stairs are not all that wide.  I will just have to see what Greg wants to do, but I imagine we will be appliance shopping.  Oh well, I guess it served it&#39;s purpose because we have had it for over 25 yrs.  Well guess I had better finish getting dinner ready as hubby will be home very soon...
