It's the same people who rebuilt the furnace from it's original  
oil/AC to propane/AC.  The only original component was the AC  
part.  I guess the "wait time" is charactaristic of older AC  
units? BUT.. they could have at least told me so BEFORE they  
decided to come over.

I guess I could have fought over it. But I decided not to  
complain and just pay the d*mn thing.  I haven't called them  
over for anything else since. People say that you should have  
"furnace checked" every pre-winter season.  Screw that. I just  
maintain filter changes myself, and have never noticed a problem  
since.

The food industry has you brainwashed, successfully.  You don't  
have to give up health for flavour. Take for example, the simple  
fruit of the pineapple. A fresh pinapple is amazing - drizzle  
some honey over a serving and it makes for a nice dessert on its  
own.  The canned versions (pegged for convenience) are syrupy  
catastrophies and unnaturally boosted with sweeteners.  But the  
fresh variety packs a nice punch of sweet completely naturally.

All the more reason to keep the body fit, worthy of display and  
OUT of those institutions.
