Why don't you name it??? When there's something I have to live with or around that gets to me, I name it so I feel more compassion for it. In Illinois we had to live with a giant mountain of dirt outside out front window for about a year. (Still building around us.) So I named it Arthur. And everyday, I would wake up and say "Good Morning Arthur. How are you?" Much better than saying, "when are they going to move that damned mountain!"
Well, one day... sniff... Arthur was gone. Sigh. And I actually felt sad... for about 15 minutes.

Chelsea!
I had not thought of that! And there is a big ol' Stihl chainsaw somewhere around here.
(And, btw, I never, ever watch scary movies. I tend to scream when things jump out at me. Been that way all my life. Even when I was a kid in grade school, going with my friends to those terrifying werewolf movies, I would hide under my coat for almost the entire time. It is the jumping out from behind trees and doors and buildings that makes me scream -- and I am talkin' screaming bloody murder here. Maybe if those werewolves and monsters of all sorts would politely announce, "Good evening, I am coming out from behind this tree now. Please brace yourself." -- if they would just do that, maybe I could watch scary movies.......Nope! Will never happen.)
But here I am now, worrying about a Stihl chainsaw. And there is a hulking stainless steel standard-depth refrigerator still standing in my kitchen. Steel? Stihl? Is a pattern emerging here? Oh my!
So anyway, Chelsea, I tried that thing you suggested about naming the too-big refrigerator that is really messing with the look I want in the kitchen.
And you know what....it worked....for about 5 minutes. But then I decided that Steely Dan just has to go. (I just can't take any chances where Paula Deen is concerned.)
Another Linda,
That is sure right about those y-chromosomes. While form and function are a beautiful combination and that's what women want, most men can be happy with just the function part. And if the function is really good, they can ignore form completely.

PS: To kyblue -- Skyline is mine. Love those cheese coneys. And for the rest, I am either a 4-way or a 5-way, but in either case, the onions have to be on the side. I have always thought a Skyline would be a goldmine in TV, especially with a Graeter's next door.
