I've enjoyed watching this guy build his cabin in the woods and today his video really hits our subject matter.

She sounds like a wonderful person.....the sort we need in this world. We should all live a life that would cause us to be greatly missed when it's our time to go.

Thanks stargzr ........ it's a blow but she'd suffered for years. One of her grandsons rang to tell me and said she was at home with the whole family round her. She just stopped breathing. It's the way she would have wanted to go. She was almost old enough to be my mom and w...

Ha ! That's what I call economical. I must say I enjoy the fact that you stay up so late. Since you're 8 hrs ahead of me I wouldn't get much chat time if you turned in at 9pm like I do . :) So while it's almost bedtime for you...I'm going to watch an old "Midsomer Murders" on ...

Devon has lots of old cottages. We have a pub that was built in 1131. Now that's old. I don't suffer from the cold. I've no indoor thermometer so I have no idea how warm my rooms are but they are comfortable. I don't always run the heating for 7 hours. I often don't go to be...

Wow...those look great. We don't have anything basd on "off hours". My heat is electric but I'm fortunate in athat I'm quite warm-blooded. :) I keep thermostat set at 59F night time and 68F daytime. Also, because I'm an "older person" I get a real discount in my electricity ...

That would be enought to put me off. I don't mind travel and I like dogs ..... but not 4 of them in a cold house. No thank you. Best to stay at home with your creature comforts. I don't know if you say "creature comforts" in the US but this is what it means: material ...
