If I referred to a bulletproof EJ, that would be an oxymoron.

I thought this was an oxymoron...

I agree, the "moron" is redundant.

No that would be a lie.

I do hope you mean the write up. If not you are far too excited by the car.

I guess your the hero Pompeii deserves, but not the one it needs right now, or something like that.

No,no,no, I liberated them. They had no problem with sharing my quarters on my sailing vessel (I even had a side bed for her handmaiden - ).

Pleonastic. Isn't that the era when the velociraptors and tyrannosaurs (and Roger) appeared?

Haha write up. I’m not excited as much as Guff or few other friends. But it might be good idea to put my 2yen. That’s all

I signed up for their service plan this year (it's January, and I know something in the A/C is making a horrid noise outside, and they charge to come to your house otherwise... plus 15% off hardware) so however many trips it takes I guess. As long as I can keep manually lighting, I suppose. We've used the service folks before as have people we know, so I'm reasonably confident they're not a problem. Hopefully...

In a pinch we can move downstairs, it's a 2 furnace house. Maybe some fans to try to move air upstairs to avoid freezing. But I really don't want to do that.
It's only money in the end, right? Already looking forward to paying a ton more income tax this year... should be interesting to see if we've budgeted adequately for it all. edit: just got the call, they want $1300 and it's only a "probably" fix...

Not to worry, the hot air will rise to keep the upstairs from freezing. That is how the old "pipeless" furnaces worked, that were in the basement.

I know, because in the summertime I would go down into the furnace room of the basement and look up through the large pipeless grate, when my mother would have tea parties, so I could look up women's dresses -
