I don't know how we've lived without one. <BR/><BR/>rurality-that was an unintentional, but interesting juxtaposition, wasn't it! I don't know how that mouse got into the outhouse; it would have had to run a gauntlet of about eight hungry cats.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1136385237613375792006-01-04T08:33:00.000-06:002006-01-04T08:33:00.000-06:00OK I had to grin a little at the image of video ga...OK I had to grin a little at the image of video games and composting toilets in the same post! :)<BR/><BR/>I used my first composting toilet earlier this year... I'd heard of them before but would hate to imagine what the unaware would think! (What the heck? Sawdust? Where's the handle to flush?! LOL.)Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1136382689072200082006-01-04T07:51:00.000-06:002006-01-04T07:51:00.000-06:00Funny you should mention it, I've been thinking a ...Funny you should mention it, I've been thinking a lot about propane heaters in the past week. We're constantly trying to plan how we're going to set things up when we finally get onto our land, and I was considering that woodheat alone probably wouldn't keep the water pipes from freezing if we left home for a day in winter. Even just setting it at 10C would be enough. It makes sense to have a backup heat source; I wish we had one here.Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173518099250557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1136342568246360492006-01-03T20:42:00.000-06:002006-01-03T20:42:00.000-06:00My jaw drops everytime I read about how you guys a...My jaw drops everytime I read about how you guys are roughing it up there. Your kids are having so many life enriching memories and experiences that no video game box will warp them. <BR/>My son is our most serious video gamer and it hasn't affected his grades, athletics, or pleasure reading. Like you said, "...some reasonable limits.."<BR/>Nice mouse rescue.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.com
