But, maybe I have read some romance novels. How would you find out which ones?? I know which novels you have read Chris. Now, how would I know that??

I don't read romance novels anymore haven't read one since my 20s which is such a long time ago. I found that the majority of romance novels same story different location. You know the ending by the 2nd chapter they why too predictable.

Annabelle Bryant aka Bella Ryan is the only romance writer I have ever read. Her description in the novel is much like she is in real life.

Just long enough to get some heat back into the house hopefully. Hope you have a fireplace. At least that will keep one room warm...

How much snow did you get b/c I seen on the news that TX is expecting up to 6 inches of snow and that an emergency was called. Gonna be a bunch of ambulance chasers out b/c of the fender benders that will happen LOL


message 166: by Brian (new)

Brian Benson (bknight47) | 343 comments I'll bet you are grateful for that wood burner. I hope you have enough wood to see you through. There's always books...lol


message 167: by Chris (new)

Chris | 732 comments Ruth, my daughter said her friend that lives in TX hasn't had electricity since 2:00 a.m this morning and the temp outside is 7 degrees. Didn't know it got that cold out there. Well I guess you are going to have to get solar panels so you won't be without electricity if this happens again. Also I do feel for you because it's probably colder in your house then it is outside. Something doesn't sound right they are giving you 5 minutes of electricity an hour. Sounds to me that this is being done on purpose. My heart goes out to you. I better pull out my kerosene heater in case they to it in PA.

I'm thankful you have a wood stove...


message 169: by Chris (new)

Chris | 732 comments Does it usually get that cold where you live. All I have to say is wtf something is rotten in Denmark. It's not all of TX is it. The rolling blackouts is what happens in CA.

Brian Benson (bknight47) | 343 comments The wind turbines are frozen too...:(

Brian Benson (bknight47) | 343 comments Speak To Me Ruth How Are You Doing??


message 172: by Chris (new)

Chris | 732 comments Brian wrote: "The wind turbines are frozen too...:("

This is what they want our country to go to solar and wind. No back up so what happens when it rains for days or as is happening now the windmills freeze. What about all the birds that are being killed because of these windmills guess they don't care about our animals or nature. What a bunch of idiots these people in DC are.

Chris | 732 comments Brian remember Ruth said she only gets electric 5 minutes every few hours. I hope she is okay and I am glad she has that wood burning stove. Ruth is also worried about her elderly neighbors.

Brian Benson (bknight47) | 343 comments Yes I Know I Wish There Was Some Way To Reach Out To Her...:(

Thanks Ruth...You Are Correct...That's What Neighbors Do...:)

Chris | 732 comments Brian if her electric is out for several days and only goes on 5 minutes every hour the food may go bad. Ruth put some of that food in the snow outside to keep it cold. Maybe I'll call Stephanie to see if she can get in touch with Ruth and she can let us know.


message 177: by Chris (new)

Chris | 732 comments Brian, Stephanie will let us know if Ruth is okay since last we heard from her.

Chris | 732 comments Ruth glad you are okay and you have that wood burning stove. Hope you have enough candles around so you have light and that this doesn't last much longer. You can make smores if you have a sweet tooth. Even though Brian and I live on the east coast we still worry about friends that live all over. I wonder how Jimmie is doing since we haven't heard from him. I don't want to go green b/c it's nor reliable. The blades froze and b/c of the ice made them to heavy for the gizmo that turns them that uses oil couldn't work. Go figure and this is what they want us common people to use. I hope you like PB&J as long as your not allergic to PB. Right now I think that's what I'll eat.

What state do you live in Brian is VA, Ruth in TX and Stephanie is CO, I'm in PA. Hope I got the states right. Jimmie did you say you lived in Wyoming, not sure.

The propellers on the windmills had ice on them which made them too heavy for the gizmos that turn them that uses oil (key word) to turn them. Green energy isn't sustainable why do you think they get all these subsidies from the gov't. I learned that anything that the gov't is involved in is unaffordable for us peons. Ruth if you didn't have that wood burning stove you would be freezing your tuccus off. Sorry to hear about your fridge though send the bill to your rep LOL.

message 197: by Jimmie (new)

Jimmie | 302 comments I live an hour north of Austin and my nephew is an MBA student at University of Texas. They have been out of power on and off all week. I went out yesterday to get some food supplies. I had to go around the block to keep away from a steep grade leading to my house.


message 198: by Chris (new)

Chris | 732 comments Guys look on the bright side it only happens every 5-6 years so mark on your calendar. LOL


message 199: by Chris (new)
