Figure skating. Hockey is an excuse for having an ice sheet

It just seems pointless to have a fireplace and not make use of it to heat your home and reduce your electric bill. And upkeep is not that expensive.

We don't use our three fireplaces. For the amount of heat they provide, it's too much work and maintenance
3:19 pm

Okay, I will just keep quiet and not get it.
3:20 pm

First you have to have the wood delivered to the house, stack it, shlep it into the house, start the fire, keep it stoked, let it die down and then get up in the middle of the night to close the damper, then you have to pick up the ashes
3:22 pm
MollyL
I know Bich, I do all that. And have the chimney cleaned every cord of wood. I just think it's amazing to have a nice fire when it's bitter cold outside.
3:23 pm
bichon
Then, the warm air is sucked from the rest of the house, leaving the other rooms cold. We had lots of fires when we were younger, but not now. We did use it when we had a 3 day blackout though

Jumping in on the fireplace discussion. I think fireplaces are a waste of wood and chill most of the house. If I am to heat with wood, it must be an airtight wood stove. I used to heat an entire two-story home with one wood stove. Spent a tad over $100 a year on fuel oil but that was mainly for hot water. Of course wood only saves money if you cut, split and season it yourself. Not much of a bargain if you have to buy it, but it does make a wonderful warmth.

Of course, I could be an axe murderer, but hopefully the forthcoming Babble meet here with Riverdance will assure folk that I'm boring old housewife, with not an axe in sight. 😃
6:33 pm

Now, theres a question..... Can a person be described as a housewife, if she doesn't have a husband?
6:33 pm
ch1212
lol Soodle! Given my ancestors were from Meath, that's reassuring about the axe... and I think you can describe yourself any way you please :)

I'm not getting that de6/21... I've got the de4 that means put a bump in a car, then the de6/21 that pertains to teeth, then the de8/45 that means ... I don't know ... then am missing the final de6/21. Different clue available?
6:37 pm
MollyL
It's like the de6/21 that pertains to teeth, but change the last vowel
6:37 pm
Deeha
are you getting the second de that is spelt one letter different to the other one??
6:38 pm
ch1212
Well, the final de6/21 follows the de8/45 whose third letter is the hot drink, so just changing the final vowel on the teeth clue won't work...
6:39 pm
ch1212
okay, it has to be said ... this is like pulling teeth! :D
6:39 pm
MollyL
Bump in a car + *** death do us part
6:40 pm

Changing the final vowel being I instead of A
6:41 pm
ch1212
Oh, my, Molly! Thank you -- you know what? When I pulled the list over from Lickety, the final de6 shows as a deT, and is out of order. Of course, it's entirely possible I messed up .... gee .... mmm....
In any case, thank you thank you thank you!!
