#8 Whirlpool Corp. announced Friday it will close its Evansville, Ind., factory next year, moving the plant's production of top-freezer refrigerators to a facility in Mexico.

Appears it may be too late for Whirlpool and Evansville. Oh well, Hoosiers are just unenlightened, astroturf conservatives anyway. Let them line the banks of the Ohio and fish all day for food.

#9 I just replaced my deep freeze last month, due to its being zapped by a lightning strike. (Don't even ask about all the food I lost because I didn't know about it for a couple of days.)

I put it on my credit card just for convenience, and for the supposed protection in case something went wrong with the purchase. Paid it off when the bill came, because I'd SAVED UP the money (actually in anticipation of having to replace my refrigerator and/or dryer, so I'm back in the save-for-that cycle).

Just sayin'....

#10 Barbara,
1. Get a trip switch for the power-box.
2. Use a surge protector on anything valuable.
3. Get a UPS for your P.C.
