  My old boss built a tree house (yes there is a tree in there.)

  He is an architect and a bit of a hippy! :)

  BORN Midwifery Rally in front of Province House, Charlottetown, PEI

  This kind thing will never go away until people who commit these acts are regarded as socially and morally repugnant to the rest of society. Silence is the enemy in this case, let everyone you know that you support common decency and the r.…..ights of gays and lesbians to live their life in peace and openess.
  
  Do this on Facebook sure, but it is essential you do it in your everyday REAL life as well. Let you family, coworkers, friends and acquantences actively know how you feel about this kind of violent crime and hatred. Proclaim it in front of people you know and care about, but also in front of those you don’t know that well as well. For they may be the type to harbour this hatred and the more people who tell them this is not OK the less likely they are to act on their hatred.

  $200 per year heat bill

  Another heating season (almost) done with!

  Results this year so far (to end of March):

  1111KWH’s above our base rate of 18KWH/day in the non-heating season.  This is the consumption of our 12000BTU air source heat pump. We pay $0.1265/KWH including all taxes for $140.54.

  We also burnt 1/2 cord of hardwood in our small airtight stove.  We bought this wood when we were building at about $100/cord in 8’ lengths.  So about $50 for the wood and a high estimate of $10 for gas and oil for the chainsaw to cut it up and the electricity to run the electric hydraulic splitter to split it.

  So a fairly accurate estimate of costs to heat our house this year of $200 for 5 months of heating, or $40/month.

  April may have a little extra heating costs, but I can’t see it being more than another $20 or so.
