You mean our private messages? As far as I know they are private, but that's okay.crimsongulf » 22 Jan 2016 9:50 pm » wrote: I dont mind giving you my number but IMs are for all to see here aren't they.
PMs are private - only ronjul can read them. I could, too, if I knew how. But that takes study and Im busy making friends.crimsongulf » 22 Jan 2016 9:50 pm » wrote: I dont mind giving you my number but IMs are for all to see here aren't they.
Haul the freezer outside, fill the house with friends and loved ones, heat the house with gas from the stove, make cocoa and watch the little ones make memories. - CP's recipe for sitting out a winter storm.Misty » 22 Jan 2016 9:43 pm » wrote: I have a freezer full of food.
That sounds lovely, but luckily it didn't come to that. We only got about 8 to 10 inches of snow. Never lost power.Cannonpointer » 22 Jan 2016 11:35 pm » wrote:Haul the freezer outside, fill the house with friends and loved ones, heat the house with gas from the stove, make cocoa and watch the little ones make memories. - CP's recipe for sitting out a winter storm.
That is gratifying to know - but get on gas.Misty » 25 Jan 2016 7:51 pm » wrote:That sounds lovely, but luckily it didn't come to that. We only got about 8 to 10 inches of snow. Never lost power.
BTW, the stove is electric, so it would have been useless if the power went out.
Very good advice. We are gas heat, hot water and cooking with a 500 gal propane tank for the whole house generator. Ivan was a bitch and I vowed to never sweat again after a hurricane.Cannonpointer » 25 Jan 2016 7:54 pm » wrote:

I wish I could. Up until I moved here to PA I always had a gas stove. After 5 years I still can't get used to cooking on an electric stove.Cannonpointer » 25 Jan 2016 7:54 pm » wrote: That is gratifying to know - but get on gas.
I can't cook for **** on an electric stove. Not enough control on the heat.Misty » 25 Jan 2016 7:58 pm » wrote:I wish I could. Up until I moved here to PA I always had a gas stove. After 5 years I still can't get used to cooking on an electric stove.
I like to see flames.
The gas company will put a tank in and let ya rent it for nothing. They'll sell ya has every few months when you run it down. If you own, the job is cheap and worth the money. Cooking with gas is the shiznit - and it'll save you *** come winter outages. You'll be the house where the memories are made and the blessings flow.Misty » 25 Jan 2016 7:58 pm » wrote:I wish I could. Up until I moved here to PA I always had a gas stove.

We already have a propane tank. That's how we heat our house. Then we'd have to run a line into the kitchen and get a new stove.Cannonpointer » 25 Jan 2016 8:01 pm » wrote:The gas company will put a tank in and let ya rent it for nothing.

We already have a gas grill.crimsongulf » 25 Jan 2016 8:03 pm » wrote:Or if you are cheap, get a gas grill and mittens.
there ya go. I have no idea why people choose to llive in that kind of winter mess.

I'm not sure we want to invest the money on that. After dealing with the snow here in PA for 5 years, there's been talk of moving to a warmer climate.
Please. I don't want to move again, but my hubby is complaining about all the leaves he has to clean up and all the snow he has to shovel.crimsongulf » 25 Jan 2016 8:55 pm » wrote: there ya go.

I don't believe I've owned a pair of mittens since I was 5. LOLcrimsongulf » 25 Jan 2016 8:53 pm » wrote:Mittens?
Well, to be honest, I am not exactly sure what mittens are without google. Just sounded better than gloves.Misty » 25 Jan 2016 9:04 pm » wrote: I don't believe I've owned a pair of mittens since I was 5. LOL
