All the others are simply large cruise ships. The difference between an ocean goer and a cruise ship is apparently all too obvious mid-Atlantic.

The delivery men offload your appliance in front of your house and then it's up to you to find some cooperative neighbors to help wrangle it in.<br />Greek yogurt has completely taken over here. Among my mother's things I found a breakfast menu from the Queen Mary.

I like how you handled the situation by telling them they could take the fridge back.<br />It seems as if food habits change daily these days with all the new food fads that emerge on what seems like an hourly basis.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-2366863543041256342015-06-13T11:15:15.104+02:002015-06-13T11:15:15.104+02:00You'd have thought the kitchen designer might ...You'd have thought the kitchen designer might have recognized the problem ?Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-1784202454137157762015-06-13T11:14:42.607+02:002015-06-13T11:14:42.607+02:00Seemingly a delivery man delivers .
