Batteries in the freezer: no good idea

Witness who birth was my only daughter, as you can imagine, a very moving experience. My daughter shot from her mother like a rocket, so fast that the obstetrician had to catch it like a football. I was so happy, proud, excited and father grateful healthy baby girl.

In anticipation of the big day, I bought had a very nice digital camera: Fuji FinePix S602Z. I've been this happy since the first day.

Imagine, if it works no longer my disappointment a few months.

I took on that it works because I it too long had left some batteries, and the caustic ooze that some leaks from the decaying cells no longer ruined critical components.

I the camera adjusted solutions as well as I could with cotton swabs and cleaning, which would not damage the camera. Despite my efforts, I was able to give the camera back to life.

I was there for a few weeks, and made send plans to the camera back to Fuji together with a declaration to the expression comes my dissatisfaction with the reliability of the camera. Before a cleaning do, try I decided once again. This time I used a small screwdriver to scrape off hardened materials, could cause the problems in the battery compartment.

Bingo! The camera was back! SOOOOO happy.

I disposed of the old batteries, and went to my freezer to get new.

I was shocked to find that the batteries had I in the refrigerator were all rust and fall apart (see the photo, that, which I clicked above.)

Seems, that in trying to get my batteries, I ended up destroying and waste money! And worse, I ruined almost an expensive digital camera. The theory of the placement was batteries in the refrigerator sound, in my opinion, but in practice, I think the cold has a detrimental effect on power cells. Labels: Batteries

A freezer full of meat: Food protection gone wrong

So, I made a good life, two years ago, when I camp decided to on some steaks. I own a large freezer and I had plenty of room in there. The cuts I like (shoulder, Porterhouse, rib-eye steak, and so on) would go every two weeks in my local supermarket in the sale, and if I would find a sale of cuts, which I like, I would to anything you buy. Would some days they have so much supply, that I end up with a shopping cart of high with meat stacked. Yes, I have a lot of funny looks.

I thought, I was damn smart. It was hedge diet. I was now, buy quality meat for a very reasonable price, so I it a year or longer later enjoy could, if the costs at some point, would be almost certainly higher.

My plan, but was on me. These days, I eat only rarely red meat. I lost it slowly, and for some strange reason my desire. I still like chicken, Turkey, fish and pork, but the delicious love story that I had with red meat, a food item I thought I would never tired, is no longer.

So, now I find myself trying to limit the waste and financial loss as best I can. I gave away some last summer to friends and neighbors who like to grill. I sold some to a close friend of me $0.50 on the dollar for a series of frozen packages numbers (they like to their German Shepherd only the best feed.) agreed in the other I'm not sure what to do is. I will soon be moved to, and the meat will not likely survive the relocation.

Anyone need some old, but still very pink meat? Labels: Food, frugality, security, hoarding, meat, steak
