Maybe you could adopt similar technology? (Not the sponge, no.

I mean, trouble getting the toothpaste to leave the tube cold. So I recognise so well the phenomenon of going outside to warm up.<BR/><BR/>Hey, your five-year old can draw pretty well.

I would love to have a huge fireplace in the kitchen and the task of keeping the fire burning. Lucky you. I can see why you were worried when the landlord came to visit a few months ago.Kim Velkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729808121762572706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314051138158312229.post-10216689176995692022008-12-14T15:06:00.000-04:002008-12-14T15:06:00.000-04:00Bill - the ship parallel is perfect, I've always b...Bill - the ship parallel is perfect, I've always been a fan of cranky characters.<BR/>Deborah - I can plug in eletric heaters but they're so ineffectual that I might as well just put on another jumper (I have silk long johns my dear).

One was old, a relic kept afloat through constant labor. The other was state of the art new. The first ship, no matter how much labor was applied to it was still old. Noisy engine, small work areas, antiquated galley and so forth. The newer one was a technical wonder but it had no charm. Perhaps that would come with time.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
