Forgive my ignorance (apartment kid), can someone explain house oil?  I'm guessing it's gas heat related?

 

It's just another way of heating your house. Some houses use natural gas, some use electric, and some use oil. My house uses oil and we have a 250 gallon tank in the basement that they fill up and that feeds the furnace.

it's been $200 at the most for the previous cold months.

summer is anywhere from 80-150 depending on AC use.

 

this house was built in 1920, so it's really drafty. can't wait to get out of it.

 

i know this feeling. same here. no insulation in mine. not yet.

 

my heat/electric combined was more than my mortgage.

 

this 'polar bore-tex (amirite)' is going to get a kick to the nuts from good ol me.

Ah, interesting.  The house I grew up in had two wood stoves (which I didn't realize how awesome that is until I grew up) and gas heat.

my parents have always had a wood stove. and yeah, I never appreciated it until I moved out.

 

Now, I can't wait to get one when I'm a real adult.

My wife lost her job in November and got a new one right before Xmas...in another city that is kind of a long drive. This snowy, windy, cold as fuck winter makes me panic almost every day she leaves for work.

We're supposed to see neutral milk hotel next week in Chicago. Here's hoping the weather cooperates. The plan when we bought the tickets was to take the train and stay a couple days so we wouldn't have to worry about it. But now we can't. Fuck you, polar whoretex.

long way to go to bikini body but i havent exercised once.

my brother swears that changing your diet is the key to weight loss. you can exercise like crazy but if you're still drinking soda and stuff like that, it's not gonna change.

I actually won't lose weight unless I excersise. It's awful. I eat fairly well and will not drop a pound unless I work out.

Also I'm the woooorst at work today. I'm not used to people sitting down lately, so I'm stumbling over our specials board and "uhhhhming" a lot. Oops.
