So will make do with low-tech cheap alternatives. Better than       nothing.              -----------------------              As you can see some of us who own our houses and can build what we think up       haven't found any magic solutions. Another simple one I forgot to mention is       using a sweat suit and socks as pajamas so the bed doesn't feel so cold when       you first get in. Hospital socks with rubber treads can double as slippers.              Personally if I have warm comfortable clothes and boots and enough to eat I       don't mind primitive conditions, living in an Army tent on a frozen mountain       top or in the rural South without electricity or running water. Some friends       of Native American lineage lived that way here in cold New Hampshire, and I       learned from them. Hint: leave enough water in the stove kettle at night to       thaw the pump in the morning.       jsw              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
