Who am I thinking of that has a water stove?  Did you almost buy a
property with a water stove, or am I just way off base?
Some friends and I had a conversation about water stoves last week-how
they heat water and your home, use large logs, etc.

One out of two...I was pretty sure that you lived close to Tvo, like
either the same county or a county or two over.  I think you got your
place right after I got mine, and I do recall threads about mortgages.
It all comes back to me now.<G>

Congratulations! Show those kids a different way....
Speaking as an adoptee, I can tell you that I always felt different than
others.  It was almost like I wanted to be different, too.  Even today,
I take pride in being different, of not following the crowd, etc.
Perhaps I am generalizing, but I think foster kids and adoptees have
more of an issue with this kind of thinking than most.
