Including keeping corpses fresh You'd think so, but you need a relatively small, well-insulated room to prevent heat loss and spoilage. Thus, you basically need a second unit devoted to a meat locker-like room, and since it's really hard to hide something like that, most people don't use air conditioning to do that. Especially when a chest freezer is so much more innocuous and easier to put a lock on.

I have an actual non-complaint.
I like giving people presents. It's nice to surprise them and make them smile.
There goes my bitch cred.

Had to drive to Wilmington, NC to get to the Rifftrax Live Show. It is about a 100ish mile drive. To get to Wilmington I have to drive around Camp Lejeune. Its the second largest marine base. I ended up going by sometime around rush hour.
Was on the outskirts of the base but I imagine many hundreds, if not a thousand, cars drive this route at that time within an hour. I was stopped at a traffic light when another car pulled along side to tell me my trunk was open. Since the traffic light was red, I jumped out quickly then opened and reclosed the trunk to be sure it was closed. Don’t recall any warning lights on in the car but oh well. No big deal. So we are motoring along and about thirty minutes later I decided to call my daughter (who's significant other along with my son were attending the show) to let her know where we were. Couldn’t find my phone then remembered... it had been on my lap. The wifey called it a couple times. No ring in the car. Obviously it had fallen out when I jumped out to check the trunk. With all that traffic, surely it was smashed into a million pieces. We were in a center lane with traffic on both sides. No point going back. I was bummed. Don’t have the extra money to pay full price for a new one. We were only about 7 months into our contract. Sigh. I’ll get over it and get a more basic phone.
We made it to my daughter's about 30-40 minutes later. About ten minutes after that my wife's phone rang. A young lady had found my phone laying on the white line when she was stopped by that same light. It hadn’t a scratch on it. She was on her way home from her job as a waitress at Buffalo Wild Wings. We made arrangements for me to meet her and get it today on my way back home. Unfortunately she got sick and had to arrange a doctor’s appointment. But she still took time on her way to the appointment to meet me and give me my phone. So I gave her a hug and $60. She tried to turn down the money but I insisted.
There are still good people in this world. We couldn't figure out how long after I lost it before she found the phone. But I'm amazed it survived the fall then ten cars or a hundred or however many drove by it.

Not much happiness around these days if my phone thing was the last.
I'm actually doing quite well as a single man. Now I'm not sure what I hope happens.

My thread? Where is you bums? Actually I haven't been around much.
Wifey has really gone off the deep end. Thank Yoda that she's gone. I'm sure I'll be the one who eventually ends up living in a cardboard box with my MST stuff but right now I don't care. I can breathe again!

^that didn't come off creepy, did it? because that's how i totally meant it. I might take you up on it. Can I pay you by the week? And with apples? I spent 3 1/2 hours eradicating any evidence that this suck rear Xmas ever occurred. I dare anyone to come here and find a loose ornament (except my MST ones) or decoration or whatever. Mostly I put back up our old pictures and such but I added a couple to the mix like a cool photo of my long dead grandparents. My grandmother was pissed when it was taken because my grandfather purposefully left his teeth at home against her wishes. So he's got a weird looking grin going on and she's stiff as a board. I love it. My wife would never have something like that up. I put this in the Non-Complaint Bar because I had no idea what the years of being the only caretaker to a physically and mentally ill wife were doing to me. I'll help her anyway I can but I will not go back into that same situation again.

Glad to hear you're doing well, sky. It must be such a relief. The pic of your grandparents sounds like a hoot.
