And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That's Avocado Green, and more than three presidents
We had one of those green ones that was in the house we bought in '74 and was still there and working when we left in '04. There was another one in the house we bought in '04 and there working when we left in '11. We replaced the white one in the '11 house with a stainless LG. Compressor lasted two years just like my neighbor's LG. Fortunately still under warranty. The new one has lasted more.
I'm a little too old to have grown up with an avocado fridge, but, until I remodeled my kitchen a few years ago, my house still had the original avocado countertops from 1974.
my deep bronze/brown one lasted 33 years. and 15 of those were in a not good environment for a fridge of my garage.
ReplyDeleteWe had the brown one too. Grounded so badly if you touched the top hinge and the metal sink you could feel the electricity running through your body

ReplyDeleteIce boxes? You’re old.
DeleteMy kind of woman. Anything over a mouthful is a waste.
ReplyDeleteThe avocado upright freezer (bought new in '69) is still a faithful servant 57 years later.
