The worst line has come through here (Knoxville) and is continuing east/northeast. We only ended up with a tornado watch. Enjoyed the light and sound show it gave sitting on the back screen porch.
Peeked out about 9:30 ish. Shrek needed to potty. It was raining but it was our trademarked WV soft pelting rain.
Venting a little here. Rather frustrated, wife's brother in law has not paid our "city" water bill for a while. He owes a bit over $100 on it. He recently quit working his at least modestly paying job. We got off well water when they brought city water out our way. It's roughly a minimum $30 monthly bill.
Wife and I discussed the issue. We are in agreement, we're not helping. I & she will continue using the toilet without flushing. If her brother in law doesn't enjoy the stench, he knows what needs done & can do it. Be damned if we're not going defecate & urinate, basic stuff living organisms do.
We're not helping because for a while, about two or three years, my wife carried all the bills on her one job. Her brother in law and sister had two jobs, one really decently paying one, and his modestly paying one. They still cannot manage keeping up the bills?
There's not much, water, electric, internet. Believe water and internet may run about $100 monthly together, electric is metered out over two months. Think electric runs about $30-$50 monthly.
We used space heaters all this Winter. So yes electric was high. Again though that's on him as well. He could have insulated properly, could have properly flash walled off the wood stove so we could use it instead of got his immature, impotent, immobilizing fear of using a wood stove. He could have helped with fire wood.
No he does none of these things. I had to apologize to my wife, that we're seemingly forced to live this way. Currently we're hung up here. And the cinder block this is built of has shifted. It will eventually crumble down, us in it or not. We'd move but that requires somewhere to go to, and money to get there, keep paying toward ownership.
So yep, well, .... fuck it, guess I'm well and pissed. There's nothing to do though. Our hands are tied. Ye ha, golly ogle day, ... just another running day, easy day, make our way. Hoo yah, ah ha!
) it's so much smoother than smoking it in a pipe or mixing it with other 'herbal' medicine !
