One of things we are all aware from living here in the western world is how big and heavy people are. Of course, it's because of the food we eat here. I mean, the food is not totally to blame, but the servings of them. One of my co worker was complaining that the cafeteria lady didn't put enough fries on her order. I know that they generally fill the plate up, but I was thinking that she should be thankful that the cafeteria lady didn't put a lot in her plate! it means less cholesterol! LOL....people here are just used to big servings and the bigger the serving, the bigger your stomach will be. But you can actually feel fuller sooner by having this LapBand procedure by JourneyLite.

It took me about 2 hours to drive home from my folks house in the city today. There was a major storm, lots of snow blowing across the highway. Then while I was there, it turned to rain. So that made lots of slush, and as I drove back, heading north and away from the coast, it got colder, and the slush became ice. They are not able to spread salt in those conditions as there is too much snow blowing, so it was quite a journey!

My hubby is always worried about the cost of heating the house at this time of the year. We have an open plan style living room, no door, and he is going to move the main oil furnace thermostat to the hall, and fit a door to the living room so, he says, we can control the heat and comfort better. This will mean we are able to have a separate room heater for the living room. At Desatech.com, they have gas heaters that need no venting, so that is about a $1000 saving right there, because of needing no chimney. And with the furnace thermostat removed from the room, he can have the heat from the room heater controlled separately from the rest of the house, so we all stay warm, and avoid heavy furnace oil consumption too. They have propane heaters, as well as log effect inserts. They also have gas space heaters for the outdoors, which should solve his discomfort if working on the car in the garage.
