Hey, Steph, if you gotta spend the money, opt for the most efficient thing you can get; it`s worth it if you can swing it. And remember to put any air conditioning unit in the shade if possible, that`ll reduce your bills going forward as well.

WellI won't be getting any of my answers because he's declared the conversation over since we both understand each others positions.

Even though I honestly don't understand his position. He says it's provocative but can't give me a good reason except some people are offended.

We've been talking about that; efficiency is good, plus it means tax credit.

I wish we had the time and money to have a geothermal system put in, but time is of the essence right now, and, alas, we are not made of money. (My grandmother's famous saying regarding requests for money, which we all repeat often, is, "What? Do you think I shit nickels?")

That's too bad, askye. But than I put myself in the place of not being able to understand. I know that my own prejudices can effect my reason. However, even when I can't let go of them - I always know that it is wrong.

What? Do you think I shit nickels?

I think that would be painful

I think it'll be just easier if I defriend him. I've been baffled by many of his views. From the healthcare issue he doesn't believe people have a right to health care (it's a privilege). He also doesn't believe marriage is a fundamental right and that the government shouldn't be marrying anyone. And there should be no legal protections for marriage -- because if the gayz marry then why can't siblings?

Matt, I wish you would delurk more often. Your comments are marvelous. Also, I don't know how Beth keeps from licking your spicy brains to smithereens.

I feel like that would cause lots of weird spasms.

Shitting nickels, or licking brains?

Muahahahahahaahaahhahaha!

Mine is an evil laugh.
