So glad to see this series back up and running! I hope you will continue into 2017 - I find your columns speak to issues that come up in many of our lives.
Lol, yeah no way I am making the garden hose one for sure; I do NOT want my two current dogs to get a liking for chewing on hoses. My sweet Asia, who died a couple of years ago, forced me to cut and repair my hose multiple times... not going through that again.
I'm pretty certain one has to be a licensed financial advisor to be able to give recommendations on specific stocks. Otherwise it could land you in a heap of trouble.
I am not sure where you got your numbers for electric in comparison to natural gas but the natural gas is about right for my area. However the electic is way out of line and should be 4 times as much. Are you compairing apples to apples?
regain control of my life after so much pain and betrayal and financial ruin...i am going to envision myself in 2017 as a phoenix rising from the ashes. this is not much of an exaggeration. my heart was broken. my cat kept me sane with such pure love and fluffy sweetness and purring presence. this new yr will be my chance to feel like ME again and never let my ex-BF control my mind and infuse his toxic b.s. into my good heart. i pray god sends me a kind man with humor...someone i can share life with, because i finally realize i deserve better than verbal and emotional abuse. in 2016 i realized there is a word for what my BF did to me, "gaslighting" and it's so damaging. i am in recovery, thank goodness.
Our house has five zones of heat and we only use two of them in the winter so that saves a lot since we live in New Jersey where the winters are quite cold. Even then, the zones we have on are only set to 60F. We do this solely because our heating system is fossil fuel-based and we feel guilty using a non-renewable resource. One thing that really helps is that whenever we are sitting (using the computer or watching TV or reading), we use an electric blanket. This makes a huge difference in comfort.
I find some of these quite ridiculous. Using something from another culture doesn't automatically make it offensive or racist. Basically all of these can be seen as "minimizing" an event/idea in some way or another.
We moved to a new city mid 2016. I love our new neighborhood but our house still feels like a building with our stuff in it. I want to turn it into our home with some careful updates and redecoration -- including getting rid of some of our stuff! We did extensive work (new floors, new bathroom, room addition) on our last house so I feel like I have good experience but, as always, I want to do it right the first time so it will be a slow process.
An audible subscription is definitely a good gift idea for someone who likes to read and maybe works a little too much and leaves no time to read. They can listen to it on the go or while they work. These are wonderful gift ideas for the book lover indeed.
