Okay, I got THAT done. I really did read up on the stuff and visited the appliance forum AND took suggestions. So here's what I came up with: Frigidaire Freezer for the pantry (White)- Manual defrost. I'm either going to go with a 20 cu.ft or a 17. I have to measure the space I have. Right now, I have a small chest (freezer that is!) that I am also going to move into my garage in the new place. We have to buy meat and frozen stuff from the mainland and freeze it to cope with prices here! Washer and Dryer: Miele with stands (White). The guy sold me on these. They use very little water and soap and they have a honeycomb interior too, which will really save on the wear and tear of clothes. And they have a pretty huge rebate and energy cash back deal going right now on these. Refrigerator: GE Profile French Door w/ icemaker. (S-Steel) Really nice if you have lots of refer traffic (kids!) like we do. And it's got a nice freezer bottom drawer like my old SubZero, which I loved. (but...I HATE SUBZERO!--arm and a leg to repair! And a ROYAL pain to replace!) I'm also not buying ANYTHING built-in ever again! I got the one with the ice maker in the freezer. They have one with an icemaker and water deal on teh door, but that, for me, is a pain in the neck. The little ones think the water and ice maker are a TOY and I end up cleaning up the mess! No thanks! Microwave: GE Profile Spacemaker (Blk and Stainless): This is such a honey of a microwave!!! You can stop the turntable on it and it fits a 9X11 casserole dish in it or a 20 oz. cuppa coffee! And takes SO little space! I got 2 of these because we are microwave crazy in our house. I'm putting them on a shelf, side by side. Range and Oven (S-Steel) Dacor 38" 6-burner propane and electric: This thing really COOKS! And has convection too. I've had JennAir, Hotpoint, Thermador, etc and this tops them all and is SO easy to clean! Thermador and JennAir are the ones I would NEVER buy again---way too many drawbacks and the downdraft system just drives me NUTS--I will never do downdraft again! Range Hood: 42" Vent-A-Hood (S-Steel): Really SUCKY (and I mean that in a GOOD way!) and QUIET too! Nice design. I got it a little bigger than the stove because that's supposed to keep food smells, etc from wandering out of the kitchen area. Miele Dishwasher (S-Steel): Very cool. Love that the flatware rack is on the top and has its own spray thingy on top and has the ability to wash at 170 degrees. I got the one with the hidden control panel because the babies LOVE to tap, tap, tap on and buttons within their reach! So, anyway, that's what I chose. I'm so glad to be done with that part-my most unfavorite so far. Thanks for the help! It made a difference!

I found last night really interesting. I was bored with the first show. But there's a whole lotta crazy on the faves team between Brandon and Phillip. I'm not sure if Phil is putting us on, but Brandon is certifiably psycho. He is a little freak who I truly believe is bipolar or has some sort of classified personality disorder. He scares me. As to the fans, next week looks interesting. I would have jumped at the chance to get rid of Shemar, he is a 300# lazy a@@ bully. And the dude with the "bulge" in his pants--what a fool! He had other places he could have hidden that immunity idol. Looks like Shemar brings the dramz next week.

I'm happy with the outcome also. Although, Keith was my first choice all the way. I say stay out of the audience. Talk to the finalists and the jury. I also think Missy should have been pulled, absolutely, totally unfair for someone to stay who can't even compete. That was total BS. Raven, I said the same thing to DH, Alec looks like he just smoked a fattie and is higher than a kite. But, he looked like that the entire time, at all the tribals, at ponderosa and at the finale. Dude needs to concentrate hard on closing his mouth. Absolutely LOVED Reed's speech. He was spot on. I choked when Missy sat there and said I had all my alliance people in line and told them all what to do and how to vote.....puh-lease! haha Can't wait til Feb! Thank goodness no returning players.

I am happy I will have my own TV this time so I will be able to set the dvr and watch everything.
