    When all is said and done it's about 3 or 4 grand a year to heat this house. We keep the temperature at 68 and lower it at night unless it's super cold out.

    To doubt is Goot.It's very American.In fact one who doesn't doubt
    risks the chance of buying false teeth when a teenager.Or worse.

    Sounds abnormally high.An average monthly electric bill should
    run around $ 300-400 a month in the worst part of winter.Or the
    Hottest part of summer.I saw something about how older folks in homes
    using oil are facing shortages due to regulations and emmissions.
    I think oil is a poor choice.Anything that casts off smells is unnecessary.
    Then again heating in itself casts off unwanted emmissions.Propane
    is notorious if a Propane heater.I had to stop using my super heavy
    expensive Harmon wood burning insert.because it was too efficient and if a leak
    {anywhere} it could slowly gas my house and cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
    Which it practically did.So I played it safe and stopped using.I used to love
    and burn wood.

    Our electric bill is never that high summer or winter. Maybe $100 if that, at its peak cost. The furnace in this house is a few years old and pretty efficient. We also heat the hot water with it. There is no natural gas lines where we are so converting the furnace to natural gas is not an option.
    We have a fireplace that also has a built in heat exchange. Im sure its not efficient but its nice to sit by the fire in my grandmothers rocking chair. Its like sitting in a portal to the past. Last time I sat in it and thought about the time my brother bet me a football team was going to win. I must have been about 8 or 9 at the time. I said they wouldnt and they did. He teased the hell out of me after that because it was a repeat of an old game. Ahahaha

    Now listen Timmy,just because your father explained the birds
    and the bees to you last night don't mean squat.
    You mean doesn't Ma.?
    That too Timmy.
    Well then why dint You explain them birds and the bees.
    Huh Ma,huh Ma.
    Because your Father is an expert on the subject.
    Had to explain them to me a couple times,also.
    Care to compare Notes,Ma.
    Don't be silly Timmy.I don't do dictation.
    Yeah,that's what Pa said also.

    I need to get to the crape myrtle pruning soon or it will leaf out before I can. Remember. no more than 1/3 at a time. My daffodils are poking up, and the lilacs have actually budded. Haven't made it up to the ridge garden to see in the hellebores are blooming, but tis the season.

    Does a Tuna lunch kit include a can opener { for the Tuna } plus maybe
    some pliers.To take whatever was left of the rusty fishing hook used to
    bag the Tuna.Now as to the cheese.Most Cheese need refrigeration.
    At least the kind most fit for human consumption.
    Or if the cheese did come from home,was it Homemade.
    Plus how did you lug all that to work.In a brown paper wrapper.
    With maybe a half pint of say ... Bailey's to go with Coffee.Or by itself.
    Or if lugging from home a mason jar of freshly made Iced tea maybe a
    half pint of Southern Comfort.Something with kick.

    Sorry, but you would not be entertained. I would only agree to slow dancing, with the understanding that I would be held up. I am all clumsy and awkward in social circumstances.

    So what's the dif between a plain can of tuna and a Tuna kit.
    Ease of opening.Plus there ain't any Mayo_Or celery.Or possibly
    pickle relish.Mustard maybe.I don't think a starving cat would find that
    acceptable.I mean,show me cat food in a tin that is nothing but tuna.
    I'd go right back to wherever you done bought that Tuna kit and asked
    for my money back.I mean,your money.Unless that's yer lunch money.
