Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> basement... I was also thinking that yours was probably made
 NB>  NB>> of different materials than ours as well and/or to different
 NB>  NB>> specifications...

 RH> Probably less insulation but don't know about the spec/materials used.
 RH> We have an attic (not full), no basement but a crawl space instead of
 RH> a slab.

 NB> The less insulation would be a factor in whether or not things would
 NB> maintain temps... no basement means that you don't have the cooling
 NB> help in summer of the ground keeping constant temp, although the crawl
 NB> space would provide some ventilation that could help...  :)

We also heat with gas (electric sparker tho). Had trouble with that our
first winter in the house but it was fixed the same day.

 NB>  RH>>> Lydia's shakes sound much more appealing. (G) And, yes, the
 NB> main  RH>>> idea is to push nutrients that may not be consumed thru
 NB> other
 NB>  RH>>> meals. Much easier to drink a "shake"
than to have to wrestle
 NB>  RH>>> knife/fork/spoon/chew/plate/bowl as you get older
and frailer.
 NB>  NB>>> Exactly....  :)
 NB>  RH>> Better than having an IV line for nutrients tho.
 NB>  NB>> Or the PEG into the stomach.... absolutely...  :)

 RH> That too. That's not eating, no matter what they call it.

 NB> Yup, at least the "shake" is something you put into your mouth
 NB> yourself...  ;)

Or have help if neccessary.
