    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    This house has 5 coal fireplaces. All with chimneys. The mortar is almost gone. It's not grungy. If you burn coal you periodically have to have them swept no different from burning pine in a fireplace. These days you need a catalytic converter installed on all new fireplaces to reduce...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    Coal burns hotter than wood and sometimes is available to buy cheap in your neighborhood. I don't recommend it as it tends to burn out the mortar between the bricks and its kinda dirty. But in this 1870's Victorian house I live in ALL the fireplaces are designed to burn coal (smaller...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    But.... Energy efficiency is cheaper than anything. Yes it takes a bit of capital. But insulation batting or blown in insulation in the attic can pay for itself in the first month of cold weather if you do it yourself. (Wear long sleeves, goggles, gloves, and a dust mask though) Even...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    I've been splitting wood after cutting it last year. (Seasoned now....burning green wood is a waste) We have an inset wood stove with a fan for blowing extra heat out of the stove. Then the ceiling fans so the heat spreads throughout the house. It can cook you out of the room you are in...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    Kerosene heaters need to burn clean or else EVERYTHING is going to have a thick layer of oily soot on the surfaces. And even if it's not burning clean it still will leave a film on every surface in the house. It's combustion without exhaust. Then there is the monoxide and dioxide...

    AI Trolls?

    It is still just a glorified search engine. And that's a problem for those with proprietary information online. (And its a disaster of a mess for intellectual property rights) A person can create media using AI and it will search over the internet for the genre you have requested....not a...

    Sleep apnea

    Did God create doctors? Did God create learning and those who specialize in organic chemistry? A blessing is a blessing. But I suppose you wouldn't drink the wine at the wedding in Canaan because it's alcoholic...and it's the Devil's drink. Learn to relax eh?

    Sleep apnea

    Sleep Apnea is a rather simple problem that causes all sorts of confusion, worry, and difficulties in thinking through various problems or questions. Each type has its own various causes, complications and remedies. Your husband is going to be a great help to you during this time. Take him...

    Bio-engineered food warning in USA at minimum

    Most of your "Vape" nicotine is actually a product of a tomato variety instead of a tobacco plant. Some varieties have created an inverse nicotine that is a non-addictive nicotine which is used in the nicotine gums and other quitting aids. Then there are varieties of grains, beans, and rice...

    Bio-engineered food warning in USA at minimum

    Ummmmm There does not exist any truly "heirloom " grain, flower, fruit, or bean anymore. They have been "genetically altered" for the past 4,000 years. From potatoes to grapes....all have been crossbred and altered for that long. So your original post is very misleading. If you go to...

    Inheritance Tax AKA Family Feud

    Not even that "one guy" in the family is a true rarity. In my family....we are just the reverse. We have 2 that are not materialists (I'm one of the not materialists) while the rest absolutely are. They want every dime they think they can get by any means possible. One even wanting an...

    Inheritance Tax AKA Family Feud

    Oh.... But some are just greedy....they are the poster children of 2Timothy 3. And you are always wondering if it was something you did OR if there was something you could have done that would have made them behave better. But the truth is always that they did this to themselves...

    Inheritance Tax AKA Family Feud

    No....not discussing anything to do with our Government. But apparently it has become a thing. If you have a relative who leaves you something in their will..... Get ready for a huge battle within your family. Will shmill.....it doesn't seem to matter whatsoever....your siblings, aunts...
