New Arrival!

Today Chris and I become the proud new owners of a 7.0 cubic foot deep freeze. It may sound silly to make a big announcement over an appliance, but this is the first appliance that we've ever bought, and we spent a ridiculous amount of time picking one out. The biggest reason why it's ridiculous is because there really are only two manufacturers of chest freezers sold in North America, no matter whose brand name is slapped on the front. Yet we price-, feature-, and delivery-shopped Frigidaire, Kenmore, Woods, and their counterparts for at least three months. The wackiest encounter with a salesperson that we had was at Sears, where the salesperson explained that their delivery charge was $X, if they could leave the freezer in the front yard. It would cost $X+Y if we wanted the freezer delivered to the specific spot in our house where we wanted it ... I'm still scratching my head over how that policy is supposed to make people want to buy their appliances at Sears ...

That is strange.

I expected you to be somewhat more responsible with subject line selections, being as you are so close to the deadline on that "other" big project. Tut tut. :)
