Here I have backed up all of the blogs I wrote on Multiply, over the years. They are old, and apparently the images do not get imported, but it was worth a try. Currently I cannot seem to see any posts, but in the Dashboard it says I have over 1200 posts imported here. It may take a while to get this working.

I think I may actually have to turn the A/C (heat) on for the first time since moving here!
Even with my gold blanket wrapped around me and my big green ugly as sin polarfleece sweater it is a tad chilly...
Turn it on then! You aren't worried about fuel bills bankrupting you like some poor people. That's the only reason for anyone to be uncomfortable in their own home.
Home is our oasis, our womb... it should be a place of comfort, rest and solace... not a place to be tolerated until it gets too uncomfortable.
Throw off those blankets and enjoy your nest as it should be.
I understand. Once it gets in your bones, it's in there. It's something akin to that old saying, "Once you try black..." or something like that.
Get a "haramaki" and start wearing it when that chill gets inside you; keeping the core warm with a little extra layer like that makes a world of difference. I wear one all the time when I'm hanging around the house. It really helps (started last winter when I was living alone and couldn't get warm).
I miss a woodstove, Cam. Most of my life I have had a woodstove. Wood heat seeps into everything and heats everything up. The couch/chairs/bed stc. all stay warm. There is no temperature swing like with a hot air furnace.
Not to mention that with wood heat you are not concerned about cost so where people will heat a house to 70 degrees when they have to pay for gas, you can let it go up to 75 or 78 with wood.
Yes! I know the difference of wood stoves. When I visited Max a few weeks ago I sat in front of the woodstove in their workshop for hours every day. It feels soooo good, totally different from any forced air, or radiator-generated heat. It seeps into your bones, just like the cold damp seeps in.
Well...

IN the house?
ReplyDeleteI left the door open.
ReplyDeleteFeels like it though. When winter comes I never feel warm.
