Looks like it's going to be one of the coldest winters on record this year and fuel costs are going through the roof. However, it put me in mind of a funny story I heard some years ago .....
A couple purchased an old home from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and the wife was concerned about the house's lack of insulation. "If they could live here all those years, so can we!" her husband confidently declared.
One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and they woke up to find interior walls covered with frost. the husband called the sisters the following morning to ask how they had kept the house warm during winter. After a rather brief conversation, he hung up.
"For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Egypt for the winter."
Sounds like a plan to me [:D]

The best psychological health comes from admitting your faults and recognizing they're caused by someone else.

Our skies look like they've snow in them, but they looked like that yesterday and nothing happened!
