About Me

Carolina Bound

I'm a single woman in my late fifties, with two grown sons, a beautiful grandson, an old dog and two cats (who currently hate each other!) I retired early in 2007 (retiring my debt as well!) and I am sharing a home with my cousin in the mountains of North Carolina. My challenge is to make ends meet on a retiree's (very limited) income.

Savings goals:

Medical premium (2009): $4800 ($2256 funded)

Emergency fund: $1000 ($195 funded)

Failing fridge?

It was a no-spend day. But I am a little worried. I had some ice cream after dinner and it was very soft. I squeezed the other half gallon and it was soft, too. The other stuff in the freezer seems okay, including the ice cubes. The stuff in the refrigerator seems cold. But I am afraid my fridge is going to give out. I can't imagine why the ice cream would be so soft; it's usually hard as a rock.

In other news -- I got a free sample of glucosimine chondroiton from Wal-Mart. I rather hope I DON'T like it -- that would be a new expense!

Maybe the freezer door didn't get latched all the way. That would thaw stuff in the front or in the door without necessarily thawing it all out. If someone came along and saw the gap and shut it, you'd be none the wiser except for the soft ice cream.

Yes, I thought maybe the freezer door must have been cracked a little. Everything seems fine now. I'm so relieved I don't have to buy a new refrigerator!
