   It's the same people who rebuilt the furnace from it's original     
   oil/AC to propane/AC.  The only original component was the AC     
   part.  I guess the "wait time" is charactaristic of older AC     
   units? BUT.. they could have at least told me so BEFORE they     
   decided to come over.   
      
    AA>> "Service call,  $90".  I was furious.  All the guy did was

    DS>   Did you still have to pay it??   
      
   I guess I could have fought over it. But I decided not to     
   complain and just pay the d*mn thing.  I haven't called them     
   over for anything else since. People say that you should have     
   "furnace checked" every pre-winter season.  Screw that. I just     
   maintain filter changes myself, and have never noticed a problem     
   since.

   The food industry has you brainwashed, successfully.  You don't     
   have to give up health for flavour. Take for example, the simple     
   fruit of the pineapple. A fresh pinapple is amazing - drizzle     
   some honey over a serving and it makes for a nice dessert on its     
   own.  The canned versions (pegged for convenience) are syrupy     
   catastrophies and unnaturally boosted with sweeteners.  But the     
   fresh variety packs a nice punch of sweet completely naturally.   
      
    DS>   ..I know folks who refuse to go to the doctors office,   
    DS>   medical clinic, emergency room, hospital, etc., because   
    DS>   "they don't want to be seen naked". I can't convince them   
    DS>   that "the medical folks have seen it all before, and   
    DS>   nudity means nothing to them".   
      
   All the more reason to keep the body fit, worthy of display and     
   OUT of those institutions.
