Drillmeister Sgt. Joe, that's the fun with english.... words that are phonetically identical, but in context have to be spelled different......so i do this to get attention sometimes.......... "too much waste" or "too much waist".....depends on whether dealing with disposables or one of the 30 million overwait merkens....see just done it again........waiting does not loose u those extra pounds ;>)

Now, i used whether..... i know 4 spellings for that one, try to find them all....one of them is a lifting device, another, female version produces my favorite cheese, the other 2 u don't need my help on.

Temperature dropped rapidly this week, so had to light the central heating early.....fortunately, the gas company still owes me 350 Euro from last season on the savings achieved from the insulation....that should carry me to January at least.

catch u up

PS, a bear should hibernate in the basement, but watch out, a bear does not technically....they are like sleeping dogs, let them lie (now did i do it again ;>)

oops, forgot about the bear, by official last count there are 2 left roaming the local national park...they dont belong.

Energy bills are hilarious here in The Netherlands (not).

I have a fairly "cheap" supplier compared to most Durch suppliers, here's what I pay:

Energy € 0,0799 / kWh
Energytax € 0,0705 / kWh
Transport € ?? / kWh

VAT: 19% over the above.

So that's at least € 0,179 / kWh. That's approx $ 0,22 / kWh. And I didn't even take the transport into account, because I don't know how much that is...
