Astral Goat loves his house more than he loves us!
*sulks*

the payments will soon enough depress him and he'll be back lol

He needs us. He has to come back lol.

:)

winters coming

got preps?

according to official data, any "global warming" stopped in 1996.

Large parts of the world have experienced a cooling trend in the past few years - Great Britain, Turkey, parts of Russia come to mind for this.

of course, "global warming" still represents about a third of any science curriculum at any grade level.

With the added component of expressly political involvement to come at the end of the year for high schoolers.

Programming. even though global warming has been discredited so many times, the name is now often "climate change".

Admit it was a false hypothesis and move on.

since winter is now approaching in the Northern Hemisphere... figured I would bump this up...

i think it has some good advice... etc and all that stuff...

anyways if it just helps one person... then... cool deal.

Noooo Please nooooooo not the 'w' word. Or the 's' word.

tit warmers - a must have !!!! who wants to lend a hand????

and cock-socks - needem too

I am fully prepared for the northern winter - I'm staying down here!

Hey thanks so much for the tips!!! May you have a nice warm winter :)

you're welcome, and may you have a warn and happy winter too

from here out...

let winter be known as 'cold and refreshing time'

and let snow flakes be known as 'white fluffy lil bastards'

lol

Haha That works!

If I didn't have to drive to work in those white fluffy lil bastards, winter probably wouldn't be so bad. :)

Hey - I wanted to add. Our water heater went out and instead of fretting my wife and began to BOIL hot water, take into a bucket, add/ mix in the cold water then bath away. Our power bill dropped $200 this last month. I know taking a long hot shower is nice, and she and I go to the gym for those.

We also use the oil based space heaters and they give off really nice warm heat. Love it.

I'm in SE AZ and it's been about 15 degrees cooler this year. We had about 15 inches of snow last year. Froze my ars off.

ahem^

you mistranslated... i fixed it lol lol


yeah driving in the 'white fluffy bastards' sucks...

especially if there is a lot of 'gleaming glassy stuff' (ice)

for later reading :)

Damn! I messed it up.

I'm going to take these terms into the real world.

The gleaming glassy stuff is petrifying. I drove home after Christmas a few years ago with my mom. What a trip that was. I literally crawled for about 3/4 hours straight.

Be very very careful with kerosene heaters. Always make sure they are burning properly.

I got carbon monoxide poisoning very bad from using a kerosene heater in my garage/workshop. Not sure if the unit was faulty or I adjusted the flame incorrectly,

Be careful

ahhh damn that sucks, glad u came out alright... im assuming u did.

but yeah no shit, woulda sucked to die like that.

I added your post to the OP...

might help someone?

I use kero heaters often and it cant be stressed enough to use caution and maintain the heater.Always have a carbon monoxide detector where you use one.I have had the alarm go off and I thought I had everything perfect.The flame can readjust or a number of things that will cause that to happen but without the detector you would never know it was happening.
The main thing is to clean the wick,burn them dry on a regular basic ,after the number of burn hours stated on the instructions,and get the burnt hard stuff off the wick.This is what causes the smoke and fumes.This is a must do.Otherwise all the sticky,hard,goo is on the wick and thats not good.It does not hurt the wick,just makes it burn clean.
Here is a great link explaining how to do it.
