Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> I wouldn't want one, either.... we essentially have that for

 RH> If you were there in winter, yu would be paying big bills. I can

 NB> We keep the breakers for the heat off unless we actually need some
 NB> heat, too...  The first year that RJ was back from AZ, he stayed at
 NB> the camp

 NB> out as well as he'd hoped, so he ended up just coming home here... But
 NB> that fall, the electric bill was indeed much higher than usual....

Was that before he had his own place?

 NB>  NB>>>> Yup, at least the "shake" is
something you put into your
 NB>  NB>>>> mouth yourself...  ;)
 NB>  RH>>> Or have help if neccessary.
 NB>  NB>>> True, sometimes might need someone to steady the glass for
 NB>  NB>>> you...
 NB>  RH>> As long as you're getting nutrition,...but that can't replace
 NB>  RH>> a steak, potato and salad, with a yummy dessert. (G)
 NB>  NB>> No.... but it isn't so hard to chew...  (G)

 RH> That's for sure--unless you like to chew ice. (G)

 NB> No ice in the "shake".... one just chills it in the fridge...  ;)

Unless it gets put near the vent in the back of the fridge. We have to
watch what we put in that area as things do freeze up. I don't want
frozen yogurt for breakfast and microwave thawing just doesn't work out
so I always either put the yogurt on a different shelf or off to a side.
Maybe it's just our fridge that does it tho.

 NB> ... "At last I'm organized." he sighed and died

Just when I think I've got things organised, something comes along to
disorganise them.
