Thank you!! I’m so excited, we were just given a nice freezer for FREE (yay) and I was really hoping for one as our side by side freezer just doesn’t fit very much.

It would be helpful if any broken links were deleted rather than struck-through. 🙂 Then I don’t spend time figuring out if they really don’t work or what the deal is.

Actually, a lot of these links do not work anymore.
