lol..well we live by a mesa in the desert. The ground is nearly all
slate, or silver stone. Lots of minerals, lots of tumbleweed. Picture
your favorite old western, and you've got my house. I have a pet
cemetery on the property, where the pets are buried. I also have friends
who come by and bury their cats, dogs and rodents there..(we call it
rainbow weekend, so it's a nice get together)

One of the gals fedex'd her pet rat, when she was visiting her mother in
Sacramento. Her mom was pretty ill, and my friend hasn't returned yet.
SO I have a pet rat, in a fedex box, next to a gino's pizza. She won't
let me bury him until she gets home. No one, funny enough, wants that pizza!

At least a rat does not take up much freezer space...

Heh. ;-)
Take it to the creamatorium dear...
I have a cat in there that died about 2 months ago. <sigh>
I need to get her over to the vet so she can be picked up.
They take care of all the details..... <sigh>

The local pet crematorium has these lovely little cat-statue shaped ash
urns.

In my world, when your cat dies, you excavate a nice round little hole in the
front lawn and put him in there, and then you plant a rosebush on top. Or, in
the last case, a flametree (also has nice big thorns). A much nicer thing to
remember him by than an urn ... known as 'the Pushkin Tree'. Sadly, it refuses
to flower so far.

I've had too many pets over the years now to try burying any more.
It tends to interfere with gardening efforts.

The crematorium has lovely little ceramic cat-shaped urns now.

I used to bury them also, but quit.

I'll bet I have a few 7- or 8-year-old chickens in the bottom of my
chest freezer...

I've been trying to use up the stuff in the upright freezer faster than
I'm restocking it, and it's about half empty now, but I haven't tackled
the chest freezer in a few years.

There's a half a can of hoisin sauce in the upright that's over 10 years
old. I bought one of those huge cans at an Asian market shortly after
moving into this house.

I did this just last Monday; defrosted the upright freezer in the
garage. Pulled out twelve pink lemonade canisters, most very light
due to severe dehydration. They were from Daughter-units Alpha's
and Beta's baptism which was ten years ago this past November.
They are going to the landfill tomorrow.

My Sainted Mother™ also lost whole clutches of fryers to the
bottom of her chest freezer. This was an often-enough occurrence
to dissuade me from ever purchasing one.

After a while, I think they adapt to the freezer and begin breeding.
How else would that little frozen cornish game hen have ended up down there?

LOL! Don't tell Crash! He loves game hens, and we'd suddenly have a
ziillion chickens in the hopes that they'e produce the little guys.
Crash loves game hens. I tolerate them. <sigh>

I have some japanese ice pop things I picked up at the asian market a couple
months ago. They're not so great, I suspect they'll be in my freezer for years
to come.

No way would those last that long in my house! I was going to say that the
oldest thing in my freezer at the moment would be something months old,
rather than years. However, I think I have a container of curried parsnip
soup that I made at least a year ago.

Mine's a little plastic container of rendered chicken fat. Bought it a
couple years ago after moving to Scottsdale, probably March/April 2004.
I scrape out a few shavings every time I do a chicken gravy.

Next oldest is probably the Otter Pops. I froze a bunch last summer
during the big heat wave and never got around to eating them. Everything
else is newer than that.

My fridge is frostless. I hate it sometimes if you open it after a
defrost cycle and things just don't seem frozen hard enough....

Oh gods...

don't even go here!

I have a large chest freezer and I just KNOW that I need to go thru it
and throw away stuff that is 3 to 5 years old and freezer burned...

and the day before trash pickup so my yard won't smell like a rotting
carcass. :-(

Plan is to ORGANIZE the freezer!

I have several milk crates now and will number them, and put up a chalk
or dry erase board with the crate numbers, what is in them and WHEN the
items were put in there!

That way I can do more meal planning and not waste stuff. :-(

I want to have the space here to get another range veal........

Best damned beef I ever had. Weanling Brangus calf on range with momma
cow, 500 lbs. on the hoof. ;-d
Dressed out to about 230 lbs.

I just sold my "coffin freezer" as my friends use to call it this summer.
It was 25 cubic feet and I LOVED IT. I was so full of food that I had NO
idea what was in there. OK I knew a little of what was in there, but it was
too full for a family of 4 and I really missed my 12 cubic foot freezer. My
parents traded me about 5 years ago. They quit raising cattle and didn't
need such a big freezer. I took the money I got from selling the freezer
this summer and bought a 14 cubic foot and I'm liking it SO much better.

I know the oldest thing in my freezer is about 3 months old.

I'm jealous. ;-)

I don't mind having the space, we just have to get over the urge to fill
it up... especially since there are just the two of us.

I do give away a lot of stuff to Lynn and her family, in fact I buy
extra for them.

Now if I could just convince dad's freinds to stop bringing venison.

We're talking about getting Dexters in a few years, two cows and one
bull. I wanted to have a Guernsey and a Dexter cow and the Dexter bull
for breeding until I found out how much money those Guernseys go for.
We can't afford that, and the Dexters will be tasty, provide more than
good milk, I was just greedy for some rich cream.

I've heard good things about Dexters. :-)
Good luck!

I won't be raising my own cattle anytime soon. <lol>
There are plenty of cattle breeders around here more than willing to do
private sales.

I only have the top freezer on my fridge and it's frost-free. But you're
asking me to go dig through it to find out what the oldest thing is...
that's tantamount to cleaning out the freezer! LOL No, really, the oldest
thing in there is a hunk of (grilled) cedar-planked salmon from last spring.

I clear out my freezer and defrost it at least once a year. When I did it a few
months ago there were some things that were just over a year old.

I'll just bet you actually fold your laundry the day it comes out of
the dryer, too!

We've got an upright in the garage that we've defrosted once in six
years -- one of the times the door got left open because it's too
stuffed to close properly. And I live in Texas, and it was summer...
raw chicken vanilla ice cream slurry, anyone? <shiver>

The whole point of the upright was that it would take up less space and
be easier to find things. But there are six inches of ice on the top
'shelf', the door won't stay closed easily (we've tried temperature
alarms, but it's in the garage, and the child-proof lock adhesive
melted off in the Texas heat).

On the other hand, my kids won't get lost in it -- they won't fit!

Oh, by the way -- oldest thing? Some strawberry bread I got as a
housewarming gift nine years ago (we moved it to the big one after
three for some reason -- posterity?)

LOL.... as a matter of fact I do..... on the rare occasion that I do the
laundry. My wife doesn't like me to do laundry. She thinks that I don't do
it right. I don't wear many light coloured cloths that can't be done in
cold water, so everything goes in together. I prefer to do laundry on clear
days and hang it on the line outside to dry. I find it a whole heck of a
lot easier to fold the stuff as it comes off the line. I remove the clothes
pages and fold it. Queen sized sheets can be folded on the line single
handed. I also match the socks as I remove them form the line.

The main reason I am not allowed to do the laundry is because I once ruined
one of my wife's good skirts. I thought that I was being conscientious by
sorting into dark and light loads. The skirt was dark and went into the
dark load. Then it went into the dryer. It turned out that this was her
good wool skirt which should not have been machine washed and most
definitely not dried in the dryer. She was furious and it was all my fault
for washing it and for not reading the label. I figured it was her fault
for putting it in the laundry hamper. The laundry hamper is for laundry,
not for dry cleaning.

Geez! And I thought that I was bad with a dead cat in mine. ;-)

She's only been in there for a couple of months tho'.

She will eventually end up at the pet crematorium.

That's a waste! Cats should be buried under a rosebush to remember them by, or
some other tree with sharp thorns <g>. We chose an Australian Flame Tree for
ours. (grows well, but refuses to flower - well he always was a modest chap).
