Funny you should mention that. A friend just sent an email saying because the sun's activity is lower than expected we are in for a mini ice age. Ha! That harkens to the 90's when the ozone layer was supposed to cause that. Does any one really have any idea? It makes you skeptical.

Yes, it does make one skeptical.

I so agree! My electric bill reflects this! Wish I could make my Landlord replace the water heater! It leaks and is the pitts and he wants me to dump a 100 gallons of water too. We also pay through the nose for water here like it was gold! He does not understand as he has well water.

All three of my homes had well water. Many in the neighborhood were forced off their wells by a development which put a huge one in at a deeper level and it gobbled up all their water. They had to go on town water even though they were here first and for the most part were poor. The development of richer homes were allowed to keep their big well that serviced the development. Our well has not been affected by the encroaching developments (TBTG) so we have not gone on city water.

You are soo lucky and blessed!

Don't I know it! Some years ago we put the house up for sale ( about a month b4 the big real estate crash) and one of the people who came to look objected to not having city water piped in. I told him our well never ran out but you could not convince him. He was very young and did not want to buy it so he was trying to show his wife it was a bad deal. She and her son loved it. Just as well we could not sell.

Well water is so much better then city water and a heck of a lot cheaper!

Hi pixi, thanks for painting that picture of ice fishing in my mind. We don't have snow in the caribbean so that iced lake sounds enticing to me. Blessed day.

Thanks, Malko. You too. I could use a picture of a tropical waterfall. Got any around you? I like doing paintings of them.

Which lake? I don't like fishing, but the people who do have already been out on Lake Erie, in the small boat harbor!

Hi GrandmaN
Ours is a small local affair. You who live on Lake Erie would consider it hardly more than a big puddle, and would need to live here to know it at all.

We have some like that around here too!

You get all that lake effect son don't you, GrandmaN?

OMG; when I read your remark about talking "country", it reminded of my first years in the midwest. I came from the Boston area, so I had to put up with people making fun of my accent. But, for the life of me, I could NOT understand the "hick country" accents or their quirky phrases...such as....when speaking about not understanding something....they would say...."Well, in all my "put-together", I've never heard of...whatever. LOL. So, we all had something to learn about each other's phrases, mannerisms, etc. I had already lived in different areas among different folks...I was in the military. So, I was used to a lot of different figures of speech. Perhaps the most difficult area for me to understand was the speech of Louisiana folks...way southern Louisiana. Anyway, Bostonians always had to put up with people making fun of our way of dropping an "a" and replacing with an "r" and vice-versa....car became "cah", and "versa" would become "verser". Ah well, it made for interesting conversation. LOL

You reminded me of my roommate from college, she was from NY and we never did get bags & sacks straighted out or pop and soda, but had lots of fun. Was sorry we lost track of each other over the years.

Reminds me of when I first came to New Zealand (1959! ). Instead of "Goodbye", Kiwis used to say "Hooray". A bit disconcerting when you say, "Well, I have to go now" and they say, "Hooray"!!!!!!

Thanks for the laugh, jiggler. That would be disconcerting!
