 RH>> I don't want a total electric house tho; our rental in WF was
 RH>> one and had an unit that wasn't powerful enough to heat/cool
 RH>> the whole house effectively. Not good for utility costs.
 NB>> I wouldn't want one, either.... we essentially have that for
 NB>> the camp up at the Pond.... isn't too bad for utility costs, but
 NB>> then we rarely are actually there, and even less call for
 NB>> needing the baseboard heat....

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

We keep the breakers for the heat off unless we actually need some heat,
too...  The first year that RJ was back from AZ, he stayed at the camp
well into November, thinking to get a job up there... it didn't work out
as well as he'd hoped, so he ended up just coming home here... But that
fall, the electric bill was indeed much higher than usual....
 
 NB>>>> Yup, at least the "shake" is something you put into your
 NB>>>> mouth yourself...  ;)
 RH>>> Or have help if neccessary.
 NB>>> True, sometimes might need someone to steady the glass for
 NB>>> you...
 RH>> As long as you're getting nutrition,...but that can't replace
 RH>> a steak, potato and salad, with a yummy dessert. (G)
 NB>> No.... but it isn't so hard to chew...  (G)

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

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