Sorry it took so long for me to finally answer your question, Janet!
The waste desposal company I use (a small local outfit) would have
charged $50 to haul it away. In my neighborhood you aren't allowed to
have broken appliances sitting out by the curb even for a day or two.
 
Moot point since the new refrigerator hasn't arrived yet. I bought
another big bag of ice today.

It's not a matter of time. It's a matter of using a lot of ice.

Obviously you don't use a lot of ice.

There's the difference. Your old refrigerator, which you ultimately
freecycled, was still fully working. I can reliably report this (likely
20 year old) side-by-side wasn't fully working. I couldn't keep milk
from curdling. Ice cream melted. No more ice, no more cold water.
Ultimately the technician said they don't make the part for it anymore.
(Evaporator coil, defrost whatever.) However altruistic as it may
sound, I wouldn't foist this ancient refrigererator/freezer on anyone.

I had to by four appliances last year, one at a time. It was $20 for
removal of the old appliance.
I could put it out by the road and call the region and they will arrange
to pick it up..... or.... I can put it out by the road and it will be
gone on a couple hours. There seems to always be people driving by
looking for scrap.

Same here. If some sort of scrap metal or appliance is placed in the
alley around here it's pushing it if it stays there more than 24 hours.

I have a Big Beard ... but I'm not a clubber . When I lived in
Memphis I was invited at various times to "come on out to the clubhouse
and have a few beers with us" by every 1% club in the area . I very
respectfully declined . They are each other's "family" . I don't need
another family , I already have one .

Who needs the hassle of dealing with outlaw bikers? I did enough of that
in my youth. Some of them were pretty good guys, but there were too many
dodgy characters. I was always curious about which one was the cop, and
I really didn't need my name to be associated with them.

Bruce once said I had a special kind of snootiness, so maybe he could use
that kind.
 
And to prevent attribution errors by newcomers, Sqwertz never dissed me,
at least not yet.

I could, but I'm also trying to develop my own kind.

In the developments there are few straight roads. Loops and cul de sacs
abound.

It's a trifle British (or 19th Century), but a perfectly understandable idiom.

I'd have thought/guessed that 'serving' refers more to a home context
and 'service' more to a professional/hospitality context.

Maybe over there on the fabulous Quora, y'all post like you're on a chat
group. But if you notice, if you have the sense, people here post in
full sentences. With proper punctuation! And with proper grammar! I
know that head injury makes you think you're on par with Albert Einstein
but face it, you're no candidate for the Mensa Society.

Give up Crusty, I'm not the one they point fingers at and give a hearty
laugh because I'm so full of myself. We leave that to you.

I don't really care as long as I can understand it. I do appreciate if
people don't use endless Google Groups lines and if they sometimes
start a new paragraph if the post is long.
But that's no biggie either, unless you're Greg Sorrow and you post
entire copied articles in Google Groups diarrhea format. But that's
always right-wing propaganda, so it's easily skipped.

You're not going to find fried bologna in stores, you'd need to fry
your own... and not many brands of bologna are good fried... Hebrew
Natioinal bologna is pretty good fried, but other brands are awful.
fried or not. Hebrew National salami is excellent fried too.
Fried SPAM (original) is always quite tasty. I think all the other
flavors of SPAM are awful... the low salt/fat are disgusting.

Nope. That's my low-key response to something tongue in cheek.

The first quote is from 2008. The percentage of loss will have gone up
since.
 
I really don't understand how people can deny climate change, whether
you're left-wing, right-wing or something in between. But then there
are also people who think covid is a conspiracy to take away our
liberties.
