I love these stories about how far you've fallen from grace, Bill. You've painted quite a picture here. I can visualize those empty ice cube trays... can ice cubes evaporate? And "last year's venison"... I pictured a whitetail buck running across a hardwood ridge. I think venison should keep longer than regular beef, don't you? But then, you hinted it might be from the last year your son actually shot a deer... when was that? 2012? I think I could smell the "refrigerated, unopened" milk, and likewise the sawdust shredded cheese. (Is "Sawdust" the name of the company that makes the shredded cheese?)
Let me put this as nicely as I can, Bill... it's time to call in the army for help!
Good Luck!

Comment from Ulla
Oh Bill, I can't help but smile at this. It's good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour. But then again, the chapter also shows all the unknowns which have to be dealt with. Ulla:)))

Thank you, Ulla. The refrigerator holds things cold and deadly.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Bill, I think that we've all been there and have had our share of "science experiments" in the refrigerator. Your story is relatable and has good imagery. Of note:
Ice cube trays with empty compartments. Am I so lazy I placed empty trays in the freezer,
(I do the same thing all the time. Where else are we supposed to put them? Lol.)
Great cartoon graphic. Humor sells. Well done. Margaret

Comment from Pam (respa)
Great artwork and story to go with it, Bill. I like your sense of humor about things. I don't know if anyone likes cleaning the refrigerator or the oven except cleaners. I am glad people are making sure you are taken of care of with nice meals and offers to clean your house.
I think your refrigerator definitely needs an overhaul, and you will probably have to do some grocery shopping! I haven't heard about a hot pocket in a long time. Hope it is still good.

This may have been the one you heard about.
Comment from Heather Knight
I'm happy to see you haven't lost your sense of humour, Bill.
The milk might be better off swimming down the drain, but expired yoghurts aren't dangerous at all.
You seem to have very nice neighbours and friends.
Take care and thanks for sharing this.

Thank you, MJ. Yes, they are very good neighbors.
Comment from Gloria ....
This is a most amusing tale of properly cleaning out a fridge that may have lead to new cultures cultivating in there after those pesky dates keep mounting.
I think pulling out a Hot Pocket and then returning later was a fine idea.
Much enjoyed.

Comment from John Ciarmello
Oh my goodness, Bill!
I wish I could come and help, but you know as well as I do that ain't gonna happen. I can only wish you the best and hope things get straightened around quickly!
I'm relieved your wife is home. Best, JohnC

Not home yet.
Comment from BethShelby
You haven't lost your sense of humor. Maybe you should turn that job over to one of those nice ladies wanting to help. Noone is more skilled at tackling a real refrigerator mess than a lady. Be sure you introview them first. Some of them with throw out ever ane leave you with no food.

That?s too clean.
Comment from lyenochka
Oh boy! Um. Maybe accept the help from the men who offered. The milk probably as to go. Too bad you didn't make it into yogurt but I don't know how. With your lack of time between hospital visits, the Hot Pocket is fine.

Hot Pocket!
Comment from nomi338
Well Bill, I guess I can say that it has been interesting knowing you. At this point I cannot, dare not venture any hope for your future well-being. But consider this, your wife will still be weak from her hospital stay therefore unable to beat you too severely. I suspect it will be the look of disappointment that will hurt you the most.
