Same with us. We bought our Kenmore S/S (now in the basement) in May 1996.
It went down to the basement in 2011, replacing an old Kelvinator circa (fuzzy on this) 1975.
The “new” Samsung we got in 2011 died last year. I guess that’s not bad for newer refrigerators, but not great in comparison to the older guys.

Same here - I have a fridge (apartment full-sized, but smaller than the average bear) that I bought in 1995. It’s been moved 3x - original apartment to another apartment to the garage in my current townhouse. It’s still chugging away. I mostly use the freezer now, but it was VERY convenient to have it when I had only 25% power in certain areas of my house in late August/early September 2023 for 10 days. The kitchen wasn’t an area with any power except for a single plug for my coffeemaker. I moved anything I could from the upstairs fridge and freezer to the fridge portion and the chest freezer in my garage, which had recently had a new 20 amp circuit put in, so oddly, it didn’t get messed up (nor did my master bath and bedrooms). So I didn’t lose a whole lot.
I’ll be keeping that fridge until it decides to let go.

My niece went to the Idaho Potato Museum and got me a bag of potato pancake mix. I’m looking forward to cooking those up soon. And look what else the museum shop offers!!! Weren’t we talking about a potato god recently on a different thread? I may need to order this…

That museum is so fun! They give you a wee box of their dehydrated shredded potatoes when you exit (that isn’t free, it is covered by the admission fee—5 when we were there several years ago). If you love potatoes, this visit is a worthwhile venture.

If asked on the spot for my favorite vegetable, my answer would be either Brussels sprouts or asparagus. If I had a chance to think about it, though, the versatility of the potato probably makes it #1 in my book. No form of potato stands out as best, IMO, but there are so many ways that potatoes can be outstanding. And I’m not even counting vodka, since I don’t drink much these days!

I just showed this to my 95-yo mom. The look on her face as she repeated the words “mayo” and “white bread” was priceless. I may have even seen a tinge of green in her complexion.

There are certain deli or deli-style sandwiches where mayo is my choice…for example turkey and roast beef & white bread is perfectly acceptable to me there as well. But for pastrami or corned beef, I would always choose mustard (brown if available) as my condiment and will almost always choose rye as my bread (if the rye isn’t good, maybe I’d see if they have a kaiser roll…but they seem to be less common these days.)

Fortunately good rye and kaisers are still a staple here. And I like certain things on white bread (like grilled cheese). But mayo . . . 
(Though I do always have a jar on hand for mom and other poor misguided visitors 
ETA: And the mustard shelf in my fridge door tends to be a little out of hand.

Ahhh, my Mustard Twin. I currently have 5 in my fridge and probably another 5-6 in my pie safe pantry.

Kaiser rolls used to be an admirable substitute for rye, but they used to be a little crusty. Nowadays, the only ones I get are as soft as a hamburger bun.
