look closer
Oh and look closer...we do not have the same scripture on our posts....but you can put any scripture you want on yours...just get it right out of the bible...
God bless! :)
I was closer....
to my mom because she was a SAHM. We fought more but that is because we were around each other more. My dad worked a lot and worked second shift and so I only saw him on the weekends. I got along with both of them for the most part, but was closer to mom. When I moved out, I got pretty close to both of them until my dad passed away last year. I'm really close to mom now.

PS: To see something funny, take a closer look
My bedroom is VERY tiny. And I wanted this big desk. So, I got myself a loft-bed. I LOVE my bed!!! (And of course, so do the kitties). It's over 7 feet tall... got it on Craigslist from a newly-graduated college student. See my phone on the far right corner of my desk? Well, when up up in that tall bed at night, and the phone rings, it's impossible to climb down from that height in time to grab the phone.
Sooo, I rubber-banded a string to the receiver, and ran the string up to the railing at the top of the bed. When the phone rings, I just pull the receiver up by the string in order to answer it. Also comes in handy when it's cold in the winter and you don't want to get out of bed!
Where there's a will to be lazy, there is always a way!
STOP!!!! BETTER TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
This is what I found when researching this:
Just Wondering asked the question; Do the Heat Surge Fireless Flame heaters that the Amish sell really work?
It is being advertised in the local paper (The Herald-Dispatch,Huntingto n , WV ). That it is a Miracle Heater. Saves Money: uses less energy than a coffee maker. Stay really warm and slash your heating bill all at the same time. It uses 1500 watts. It is 5119 btu. My question is. Is this really a Miracle Heater? Should I buy one for every room in my house and turn off the heat pump?

The ads (which are all over the country) are very misleading.
1. A coffee maker uses a large amount of electricity for about a minute. It's true that the so-called "miracle" heater uses less electricity than a coffee maker DURING THAT ONE MINUTE. But you're going to have the heater running for a lot longer than one minute a day. So it's going to cost you a lot more to operate than a coffee maker does.
The heater will cost you around 12 cents per hour to operate. The average cost of electricity in the U.S. is 8 cents per 1,000 watts per hour, so 1,500 watts costs 12 cents per hour on average. This is true for ANY 1,500 watt electric heater.
2. The ads say that the heater produces an "amazing" 5,119 BTU (a measure of heat energy), but ALL 1,500 watt electric heaters produce 5,119 BTU. If an electric heater was 100% efficient, it would convert 1,500 watts of electricity into 5,120 BTU of heat. All electric heaters are nearly 100% efficient, and this has been true for decades. The "miracle" heater is no more efficient than any other electric heater.
3. The website of the heater's manufacturer (Heat Surge, a company in Ohio that has nothing to do with the Amish) is much more honest than the ads. It states clearly that the way the heater saves you money is if you turn off your central heat, buy one heater, use it to heat one room at a time, and move the heater from room to room as you move around. This is called "zone heating." See the Saves Money section of the website (www.heatsurge.com).
This is true, but it's also true for ANY electric heater. The problem is that a lot of people don't like to have just one room of their house warm while all the others are cold.
You DON'T want to heat your entire house by putting an electric heater in each room. That would cost you far more than central heat. Gas central heat, for example, would cost around half as much as having an electric heater in each room. (The exact amount varies depending on what part of the country you live in.)
If you want to get one heater and move it around with you, that would be cheaper than central heat, but you can get a lightweight 1,500 watt / 5,119 BTU electric heater with a fan for under $100 at your local hardware store, while the "miracle" heater costs $350 including shipping. The heater at your local hardware store won't have the Amish-made mantle and the fake flames, but it will work just as well. Make sure to get one with a fan, since it will warm up the room faster, although fans can be noisy.

I call my M mother - but I was always closer to my GM I called her MoMo
which when I got older I was told that I actually started off calling my GM momma and she taught me to call her momo instead and tried to get me to call my M mommy but I never have felt comfortable with it and have always called her Mother even though my siblings all call her mom. However my children call me Mom unless my daughter wants something really big or she is really upset then it's mommy. My daughter refers to her biological as her father and SF as daddy and the toddler has dadadaddadada and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme lol
Yes - weekend camping trips much closer to home. nm
