I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Bren - I was thinking of you when I wrote that - it must be hard.

Happy ... the hot water heater we're getting is a Whirlpool Electric.  Everything is electric here ... no gas.  I don't think we need a permit.  I'm going to be buried out back.  There is no way I could ever get another home loan for self-employed people, so this is my last house.

Good thing I like it here!  It's a tiny cottage house with two bedrooms and one bath.  I do have a laundry room, which is nice.  Hopefully, I can get a shower and do some wash tomorrow sometime.

Mr. ADD should be home soon .. then we're off to Lowes.

Susie .. Great idea about the solar panels.  Just can't afford the start up costs.

hugs,

The word "heater" is definitely apropos of today's weather. Will keep Scoot's advice and stay under a tree. Had to get out briefly to roar at hyenas twice (one in the form of an idiotic study). Hopefully tomorrow is a lighter day.

Solar hot water is only good if you have lots of sun year round like we do - if there's not enough sun, the electricity heats it.

I want Solar power - now that IS really expensive startup even with rebates which they are cutting soon.

Who's hungry for brussel sprouts?

I can't believe some of the stuff I am reading.  It is mind-boggling.  I agree that there are waaaaay to many ponies riding around.

On another note, this problem with water heaters has got to stop!  Why is this happening to so many of you.  Is is a conspiracy?  It used to be water heaters lasted forever, and I was recently told they now last about 10 years!

Athena, sending you big hugs and hoping for some cool air to come your way. 

Kira ... check with Bank of America about the HARP loan program.  I was denied last year when I tried to refi.  But with this new program I qualified .. and my income sucks.  It's worth a try!

hugs,

Bren

PS .. Going out on a limb here .. I don't think the alternative forum belongs on BCO.  Just too much bad information being put out there for scared newbies to read.

Just saw on facebook that Coolbreeze got banned for calling an altie a liar. Doesn't seem quite right.

Athena - I'm scratching your tummy

I think it was just them reporting her post that kicked in the automatic computer banning thing.  Hopefully the mods will correct the situation. 

Scoot, I widh there were a "like" button here!!!!!

Scoot - LOL - you funny girl

Susie & Scoot: LIKE LIKE LIKE

Beats cold showers ... and we don't even want to think about cold enemas.
