‘Face, I love you!!! Even when you can’t walk, you offer to carry firewood for me. You are such a blessing.
I fear I got a wee bit riled up with Gaffer’s self righteous tripe so I fired. How dare someone insult you like that! oooooh, that make my blood boil!
Heat is back on, furnace heat exchangers had to be replaced - they were rusted out! Imagine that.....

“Self-sufficiency,” as I was explaining yesterday on the NC Forum, is just another leftoid fantasy. Everyone one of us is dependent on others, from conception to death, and others depend on us. Yes, I suppose that, having reached adulthood through the efforts and sufferance of others, you can die alone in the woods, if that makes you feel good about yourself ... but any more impressive plans than that can be wiped out without a moment’s notice. Ask Steve Jobs about how much good “having everything” did. Oh, wait, you can’t ...
There’s a legitimate discussion about the best means by which members of society should assist one another, but we can’t be having it here when we’re busy exploring our multiple personalities, now can we?
