I was looking at an “electric fireplace” today. It’s basically a heater with a fake fire simulation.
Even though it’s a fake, and everyone knows it’s a fake, it’s still oddly comforting.
And heat’s heat, after all.
.
Then too, if I put the TV on it, and I don’t like what’s on the boob tube, I’ll be able to watch what they boob tube’s on.
My brother in Mesa, AZ got an Amish Fireplace for their hugh family room. It was hard to believe the thing wasn’t a real fireplace!

There was a fake fireplace (the realtor called it a “Swedish fireplace) in the master bedroom of the townhome we
bought in Torrance, CA, during the early ‘80s. It was nice on cold nights to be able to flip the switch and not have
to heat the whole house.
We and our two cats used to get nice and comfy sleep on those chilly winter nights.
When they weren’t catching bugs and dropping them still alive on our faces.
Cute little dickinses, the kitties were! They shared their noms!
I never could figure out how they could carry a live bug up two flights of stairs from the garage without killing it.
