    Yep, pretty strange when the state of Washington is warmer than Miami and Orlando........feel for you guys since you aren't used to it and lots probably had freezing pipes since your homes aren't built for it either!

    Get some heat tape for when it happens again........and we know it probably will.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    next time, fill the tub and pots with water. turn the water off at the main and drain the lines.

    this is what i did.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    Thank you, another excellent idea. After being here for this many years you tend to forget the things you lived with all winter back north that were a way of life. I can remember scooping snow to melt for water.

    Yep, Mother Nature will be back and I will remember next time.
    Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
