    If you two want to slug it out with continuous back biting take it to PMs. This sort of thing is not welcome on SM and violates Item 1 of the CoC. No warnings this time, but that courtesy to long time members is not bottomless.

    Expect to pay $500 to $1,000 to heat your home this winter, unless you harvest your own firewood.

    madmax Far right. Bipolar. Veteran. Don't push me.

    There's something to be said for knowing the old ways. In some ways my 16' x 16' cabin across the lake from the Smokies is better suited to primitive survival than our little house in FL.

    You'd fit right in here in our house. But my wife might make us leave and sleep in a tent.

    So the weather channel has this cute little video about how tangier island in Virginia will be under water due to climate change.
    What they fail to mention is tangier island is losing landmass due to erosion.

    The natural gas price has doubled in the last year.

    Been using wood for heat for several years...the few days a year that heat is needed. Most of the time, opening the drapes and letting the sun warm the house is plenty.
