Then I guess most of us in our 40s and older should be sickly or dead..........and I guess next fireplaces and woodstoves will be banned because of particulate matter....And we won't even discuss grills or frying.....

We moved to northern Maine in 1983.  Bought this house in Dec of 1984.  Has a huge wood furnace.  Order 6-8 cords a wood a year every since.  Been HEATING with wood ever since.  What is that..................21 years!

Oh yes, I have a fireplace in the living room also.

Well then if you ever get sick in the next 80 years we know what to blame!

Hubby was out splitting wood this afternoon (oh wait that's impossible, he's 50 and a smoker, he's incapable of doing physical labor /anti rant sarcasm) and the woodstove is going right now. So is a kerosene heater at the far end of the kitchen, and hubby just lit the grill for steaks.

Oh my.........we're all gonna die :)
