 “I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.” ~ Will Rogers (1879–1935)

"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." ~ Edward R. Murrow

“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits"   ~ Albert Einstein

"If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed." ~ Mark Twain

"Politics is no longer a matter of Lying vs. Truth but Which Lie Do You Like? " – Joseph Cannon

"The government cannot give to anyone anything that it does not first take from someone else."      ~ Ahh... the truth if ever it was spoken.

Thomas Jefferson is credited with having said:  "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have." Heed the warning!

"Some folks are Wise and some are otherwise." - Tobias Smollett

Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity.    ~ Lindley Karstens, www.noproblemgarden.com

"Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." ~ Chris Lytle

MOLON LABE - The Socialists told us long ago that since they could not beat us with force, that they would destroy us slowly from within.

"No good deed goes unpunished." ~ Unknown (Think about it!)

"Government is not a solution to our problem[s], government is the problem."  ~ Ronald Reagan

"Government is like a baby:  An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."  ~ Ronald Reagan

AND, pursuant to the Reagan quote above, there is this one:  Politicians are like diapers, full of IT and need to be changed frequently. Me thinks it's the 'changing' that we are so terribly delinquent in doing!

The Kid's Point of View:

RESPECT is not something that can be mandated; it is not something that can be bought. Respect is something that an individual must earn through his or her own actions. All of the intimidation, legislation, or any other forceful actions that may be utilized, will not result in true respect.

And when those who are honored through "force" turn their backs, they will find daggers in the eyes of even those believed to have been their closest friends.

No Teri. I don't have it. I was going to ask myself But haven't. I know he was going to be busy today with arrangements.

I'm feeling the best I have in weeks and enjoying this eautiful day.Hope you are as well.

Good Morning,hope all is well with you and you had a good week.Wishing you a nice and happy weekend.

Teri, I am truly attempting to liquidate all of my assets, to include all the furniture in that was in my house in Cary.

And when I say all, I mean ALL. LOL....

I purchased countless pieces of Bassett's "Grove Park" collection in 2000, which includes pieces for living, dining, and bedrooms.

I was going to do an Ebay Auction of ALL of it, to include my leather sofa, loveseat, and recliners. Just haven't done that yet...

Not certain just which way to approach this yet...but one thing is certain....I am done collecting any sort of stuff....and would just as soon see my possession reduced down to my shop, and a box full of clothes....

Teri, If space is the main concern your friend has, and the current heater under the house is failing, then this may be the way to go.

Sometimes the "short" heaters designed for a crawlspace can cost more than their counterpart of greater capacity.

If she is willing to spend the money, then off course one of these would solve her space problem and not have to deal with the heater being under the house.

Just consider the supply lines which bring cold water to the unit. It is extremely important that these are protected from freezing. If she plans to install this unit inside the house along the inside of an exterior wall, she should be okay.

Tell her to contact a company called "Yellow Dot Heating and Air" if she lives anywhere near the triangle. They are well reputed and I have had them do several things to the houses I own.

Also, I would recommend she do some homework on the manufacture of whatever she decides. The internet is a wealth of info regarding peoples actual experiences.

Terri, Rinnai was the brand we used and again with mixed results. Overall they were a good product, expensive however.

I would suggest the good ole' "Consumer Reports" organization and pay careful attention to warranty and service. As I indicated, many of these units are installed on exterior wall of the house. The supply line that feeds cold water in to the unit is where we faced most of our problems, not with the heater itself.

Consumer reports can provide much better info regarding cost, efficiency and overall customer satisfaction than I can...

They will be expensive, and if the reason for getting one has to do with the length of time it takes for hot water to reach a certain bathroom, then there are cheaper alternatives.

A recirculation pump is the first one that comes to mind.

Many conventional hot water heaters have digital controls and multiple settings. I am uncertain your real interest in these "tankless" systems but regardless, feel free to ask any ???'s

Terri: So did I but thank you so much. Appreciate you more than you know...(and it helps you know my bud, Ernie!) Take care!

Hi Terri: Yep.....and I bet I know that bird's name too! I am just so glad to be up on my feet...not parked in the bed or on the sofa! (Hubby can be a tyrant about that!) LOL I will try to be better about getting back on....hopefully I will have stitches and staples out on Monday and then with a little luck, back to work next week. Yeah me!!!! Thank you for your sweet thoughts...and I will be back with all of you daily now. Many thanks!

Hope you had a good day today and I sure hope the week goes smoothe your way..........

Oops, "hard to do"......
