Not if they're electric!
Good job to you and Hubby! That is exactly the approach I am planning to take next summer!
;-)
“A baby can live just fine in a small bedroom.”
Number one had a full, kitted out, color coordinated nursery with fancy crib linens. Number 2 slept in a cradle next to the bed. Number 3 slept on my shoulder, carefully supported with a pillow so she wouldn’t suffocate. That really beat the crap out of waking up in the middle of the night multiple times, going into a cold nursery and falling asleep in a hard rocking chair while nursing. Of course with the idiots in our country, I wouldn’t recommend that to most people.
I was so thrilled! the car is gorgeous and runs like a dream! now If I could just shake the rest of this bug that has been plaguing me for over a week - I could actually use it :-)
True, I just haven't seen that combo in my personal life, how common is that in a single room?
Of course it being a mercury it is now a classic! Mercury is dead!
Good point.
There was a string of nights where eating in restaurants resulted in foreign matter in my food. I found a plastic tie tab in my cheeseburger, paper between the slices of turkey, etc..
I seldom eat out now; but when I do I only eat at restaurants where you can see the kitchen. Macaroni Grill is OK, as is the lighthouse deli in San Pedro. Not one Mexican food place qualifies now.
I have to tell you the car example doesn’t work. I bought the car I am driving now, cash, $4000. I have put maybe $2500 in repairs into it (that is a high estimation), and I have had it for 4.5 years. So, $6500 total in “costs” directly related to the car, not counting routine maintenance or gas. A lease/purchase car would cost me $200-400 a month plus a huge increase in monthly insurance premiums, and a lease wouldn’t work for me, in terms of mileage limitations. A lease over that time would have cost me $12,000 +. I think I will stick with my cheapo, used and paid for car right now.
Hubby is retired and I work out of my home office. We cook and eat every meal at home except for Wednesday. To me it is worth the $50 a month just to get out of the house once a week. Lol

I hear that! I’ve done “home office,” too, and one really does need to get out. I like a nice dinner out once in a while, but really have a hard time understanding the people that have fast food multiple, multiple times a week. Yuck- unhealthy, expensive over time, and not a way to have a family meal.
Why would you have an electric furnace? Wall or floorboard heating would be much more efficient in that case.
In any case, an electric furnace produces ozone. And to top it off utility rooms have no windows, making it impossible to rescue the baby if a fire is near the utility room.
