I like smores all together but the hershey bars have to be melted well before I enjoy.

I like them all together with melted chocolate too, but I don't mind just toasted marshmellows.

 

[Orangesmokey]

So?

Key word is toasted... not burnt. Sorry jhen.

I want a buck stove insert with a blower. I would love to build a good fire before bedtime and close it off and turn on the blower. Would save a lot of money through the winter.

No issue with that. Only thing we get is matching 401k and that is vested

Best of luck, PJ.

How close are you to retirement? I've been with my company for 15 years, and while I would appreciate less stress, I'm 10-11 years away from potential early retirement. Probably too late to make any voluntary changes.

This was my first job out of college so I'm still a ways away. Plus I've got 2 kids who are a long way from college

 

[gcbvol]

Ahh, gotcha. So this is an advancement move. I understand that.

Sort of but not really. I just need a change but we can't really move far since my wife has a great job. Friend sent me this one so I took a shot. May not work but who knows

 

[vol_in_ar]

[vollygirl]

All the animals are in. Lord it's cold outside.

 

[jhen713]

Back to work...wife gets a play day today.

 

[vollygirl]

[jhen713]

Not quite as bad as I was expecting it to feel. Glad I don't work out in it anymore though.

 

[Orangesmokey]

:lol:

I know

 

[vollygirl]

I know

So how was it?

 

[Orangesmokey]

Mornin' y'all. About 7 degrees on the way in the morning. Coldest weather I can remember being in.

Side note: On my run last night it was cold but thought I could make it the full three miles I was shooting for... got a mile and half in and decided it was way too cold for that.
