Is admitting you have a problem. My dad calls me a pyromaniac, and perhaps he’s right.Â
 In early January, a freakishly big ice storm hit parts of Nebraska (thankfully not our part).  If you want to see lots of pictures, go to here to see the rest.
People out there were with out power for over a week. Some towns are having central power lines put back up, other towns are running off of generators. People out in the country won’t have regular power restored for months!Â
Anyway, I started wondering what we would do if we were without heat for days. Sure, I’ve got the concrete blocks and tealights, but what about when those tealights burn out? Well - begin the experimenting with olive oil lamps! Did you know that olive oil has an extremely high burn temperature? If you knock over an olive oil lamp/candle (which I do not recommend trying), it will probably just put itself out. Here’s the link I found to try my own candle.Â
Here’s mine. How lovely!
And olive oil is such a lovely shade of olivey green. It does make a beautiful candle!
I tried to get into your website via Internet Explorer. At the bottom this showed up “media/anarchy.” I suppose it knew what is was doing; nada came up, except your opening lines and one-fourth of the picture. Yup, “media/anarchy!”
Just imagine how much home made ice cream could be made with all the ice!
Yes! Ice cream! When life give you an ice storm, make ice cream! I love it!
Lloyd will have to field this one, since I know just enough about computers to be dangerous! For instance, if you leave a computer in somebody’s path, they will most likely trip on it. Very dangerous.
Yep, we’re no longer supporting internet explorer. It’s too much trouble to code around it’s non-stardard complient bugs. And if you do try to code around them, your website breaks in IE7. Can’t win. Why play? I recomment Firefox or Opera.
Tell me how to add Firefox or Opera as our browser (I, a humble and lowly non-techy), please. I might try to figure it out on my own, but that would require effort, and I’m tired. I’m growing a human for gosh sakes, it’s exhausting!
Opera is probably easiest right out of the box. You can download it by clicking here. And if you tell the pop-up window that will appear to open the file it will start the installation program forth-with.
I wonder what other common household things you can burn? heh heh heh… fire! heh heh heh…
“Give me oil in my lamp, keep it burning, burning, burning”
(Remember that one?)
Why, yes I do! We sing it often at school! (Some nice lady taught it to me. ) 🙂
