I thought about saving up some money and buying one of those electric ones but I don’t think it would fit over the fireplace.

then I thought what about candles… but its arched . the candles would only make black soot marks on the front.

then I thought plants! I can find some fun looking plants and put them in there with Christmas lights… but the surrounding wood might be damaged by the watering.

then I thought what about a tank with fish in it… but it would look tacky.

I want to do a comfy version of a modern look with a little flare. but that stinking caddy cornered fire place is one thing I can’t figure out what to do with….. what do you think?

and just an update !!! only 5 more days till move in day!!!!!!! I’m leaving for Bakersfield on Friday to get all my furniture and stuff out of storage and bringing it back on Sunday and moving in on Monday!!! I’m so stinking excited!!!

My neighbor has a wood burning stove that it up to code and they use it in the winter for heating their house since oil is expensive. We just got in new neighbors and the woman (whom I may add only lives there on the weekends) is allergic to the smell of the smoke. The firemen and police came out and ckecked that it is up to code and now the new neighbors are suing for not only the medical, but harassment because the old neighbor takes the same route to work as the woman who only stays on the weekends. Sounds stupid, but I don’t think the woman should change her route just because the other woman complained. Should they be able to counter for the money they had to put out for a lawyer as well as the other things they had to pay out for? I also have a fireplace which it up to code. They can’t stop me from using mine in the winter, can they?

Okay so I had a weird dream but it’s all over the place1 I’m just gonna say the things I remember. I remember being in a park with a friend that looked a lot like avril lavigne which was so weird, and my car was there, so i told her to get on, but i didn’t have gas, so I had 7 dollars, and the car had this lil pocket where you insert the money and it turns into gas. So another friend showed up, and he had a big black dog with him. so we sat in the car, i started it and we left, and all of a sudden we crashed in some kind of black market, and the car deteriorated, and i blamed it on that chick, so i tried putting it back together, finding pieces, but couldn’t. Then I was at home, and a bunch of people showed up because we were gonna leave to aparty, and it was cool. then i fought with the avril chick and realized i was jealous of her. and yeah that’s pretty much all i remember!

I’m writing a short story for school. The year will be 1942 and about a boy who cuts wood on the side for money. The wood is used to heat homes in a fireplace. What do you call that profession?
I don’t believe it is a lumberjack, but maybe it is. Either way, I’m stumped. Thanks!

I have a wood-burning fireplace, and most of the time the smoke does what its supposed to do and heads right up the chimney. But how do I reverse the draft when I light a fire and all the smoke comes pouring out into the living room? I rent a townhouse and I’m not going to invest any money in a place I don’t own, so one of those chimney cap things isn’t really an option. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Am I just costing myself more money by buying firewood to burn in the evenings? I am trying to lower my heating bills, but is the firewood I am buying eating up my profit?!

Hi,

I know I have not posted in a while but here is the scenario. First, I am the other half, not married to a man that was DXED with BP along time before we met. We met 9/11/06. He never told me he was BP. I found out from his Mom some months later who told me he has depression at times. At this time his job was going downhill. The pay was yuck, not enough to pay bills. I was living at his parents till we had enough to get a place of our own cuz I worked too. We got enough and moved to our own place in May ’08 and it has been a fast ride downhill. He decided to quit his job as a truck driver and find another truck driving position. Well, no go. His blood pressure wouldnt stabilize not even with the newest medicines. So he ended up going back to the same employment only to get fired a month later for idling his truck. Well that was Sept 31. OK, now I need help. Since he doesnt communicate with me at all, I worry about the bills since I cannot pay them all. As of this moment, the stove and the refrig are going this month and the electric is being shut off. So what are we going to do. This is a man who is suppose to love me. How can a man put a loved one through that? Now he is so lazy that he took a month and a half off before filing for unemployment or looking for other employment. Remember I can’t talk to him. I have been accused of being possessive, acting as I own him and trying to tame him. He twists all I say to his way of thinking so I just say nothing. He does what he wants anyway.

So I have been forced to save my money and find a furnished effeciency for myself and also get my old job back. Yes, I am moving. I am a perdson who cares and has feelings and will not be dragged down by someone who is not in their right mind.

Now he did agree to one thing. He needs help. I got him into a free mental health program where he will have a psychiatrist, free medicine, counseling, individually and group. Well, who is to say he will carry through with this. Once he has the medicine and starts feeling better, he will say I feel good so why do I need this then we would be back to square one. His first appointment is on the 12 of Nov. He says he is going. But he has told me previously he is doing this for me. BS, he needs to do it for himself.

I will go to the first appointment with him but thats it for me. My happiness and my sanity are at stake. He has hurt me, verbally and mentally, not physically. So does anyone understand where I am coming from and how I feel?

When I go, I will tell him I love him and always will and when I see that he can hold a job and pay bills regularly then he can come and see me, who knows. I will also tell him I am doing this as much for him as I am myself.

I think you get the drift of all I am saying. This is so long I better hush!

Hugs,
Karen
