Wouldn’t it
REVIEW – Call me a barbarian, but I don’t have the water and ice thing in the door of my fridge. It was a conscious decision based on the fact that I’d much rather have another cubic foot of freezer space than have ice on demand. My family has adjusted to our primitive living arrangements,
