Thanks to all, that read my poor scribbles here. I know that I'm awful at acknowledging all of you that reply, for that, I apologize. And I'm afraid that I will be an even worse "commentor". You see? It's just too doggone cold in this shack, (yes, I actually DO live in one)to sit at the computer for very long. It's about all I can manage, to read a few of your posts, before I can no longer feel my fingers (or toes)(or nose). So, I hope to see more of you guys/gals in the spring, when this shack is warm, once more. I am reading you though, so feel free to write your own comments and sign my name to them. Brrrrrr! ~wranx (Ed) |

Ed... you know, I've been cold and lived in places you couldn't stay warm if you burned the place while sitting in the middle of it. It is miserable. ( at least for me it was) Staying warm is a lot higher on the priority scale than commenting on some drivel I write... so stay warm! |

jen, Christipher, Thanks for understanding my plight. (but it is self-inflicted, I love it here, on the bank of my river, 9 months of the year.) Ed |

This IS such a place, Ron I see small streams of daylight striping the room, from the holes in the walls. Insulation? Hah! The woodstove is my best friend right now. It fights valiantly, in a losing effort. But, just bought an electric blanket that I should've thought of years ago. Oh well, that finger thing is startin', gotta go Ed |

A good woodstove can do wonders to warm a place, but even well stoked and rolling it can only do so much. Sounds like a nice location though... but I have to be honest, I hate being cold. Electric blanket is a good idea... might think about a little insulation even though it cuts off the light streaming in. Heck, I once insulated a workshop I spent a great deal of time in with cardboard and those styro packing peanut things. Started hitting the dumpsters at industrial sights and hit a mother load of them they were throwing away. Made a world of difference in being warm... keep warm dude... |

Ed, I've been worried about you all day. Are you kidding, or are you really cold?? I can't stand the thought of you getting so cold that your fingers and toes and nose hurts. I can't stand for my feet and toes to get cold....and we don't even have that much cold weather here in Florida. I've often thought, too, that I wish someone would invent something to keep my nose warm, like a nose muff?? Well, friend, I do hope that you stay warm. ~Ethel~  |

Take care of yourself - do what you have to do to be safe and warm. Do you know the meaning behind 'Three Dog Night'? Perhaps you need something warm to cuddle up with at night? |

Ethel, Yes, it IS cold in the shack, but it's my choice to live here. So, don't worry, I know (I think) what I'm doing. Tonight will be between 10-15 degrees. (that's about 42-45 degrees inside.) By the 1st of the year, I'll be hanging around here in a t-shirt. (I get used to it, and I never get colds, Flu etc.) Thanks for the concern. Ed |

Sharon, Alas, I have only two,(Labs)and they are now too old to jump into the bed. Hence, the electric blanket. btw, women HATE this place!! Ed |

Okay, Ed.....as long as you think you know what you're doing. I'm glad that you never get colds or the flu, etc., too. Just be well....... ~Hugs~  Ethel |

Anytime you wanna chat about 'cold' feel free to email me. I may have some warmup ideas. then again, I left the interior of Alaska this year after 6 years, 5 without running water. I know a little about chopping wood and working outside with animals at sub-zero temps. Warm hugs to you. I understand those cold feet and hands. But Ed, you have a very warm heart and soul. Talk later, Kacy |

WHOA! I bet you are going to have one beautiful Christmas at least. Send us some pictures to look at. I would love to see that River. What area are you from anyway? West Texas is cold right now, but not that cold. Hang in there  |

Good thin I just found the lounge I was wondering where you'd gone off to. Take Care and keep warm I await your so called poor scribbles with bated breath. |

this is certainly interesting, i have a friend who lives in canada and he's done some rustic living as well. i'm not sure it's something i'd want to experience for any length of time, but i think i'd like it for a while, just because. hang in there spring is around the corner~! ~I envy those who have perfected the art of being~ |
