That wouldn't work; Russia isn't dependent on the rest of the world. I don't blame Putin per say- this was always going to happen - its a war after all- what annoys me is the people who are leaving it until the last minute to deal with stuff. The minute certain people have made money out of this it will all be dealt with.Simple soloution, cut off hid food.
A real, genuine rubber duck, probably. The common phrase is not explicit, nor does it specify 'methodology'. Never owned a rubber duck of any sort. Mar insisted on a 'get in- get clean-get out' procedure for the Saturday bath. No dickin' around.Did you mean "Duck" or something otherwise named "Richard"? Or are those libroid rumors he swings?

This has worried my OH more than anything so far. If the Swiss are worried, we should be too
Might want to invest in a kerosene heater and look into making bio diesel for oil burning heaters. its pretty much filtered deep fry grease diluted with high proof alcohol or acetone. I'd use alcohol, less foul fumes.https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/busine...rgy-backup-for-winter/47873578?view=canonical

If it gets that bad I think I'll just drink the alcohol! Have a year at least, of gas in stock, and fuel for heating. Anyone who hasn't done so, either doesn't understand or can't afford to.Might want to invest in a kerosene heater and look into making bio diesel for oil burning heaters. its pretty much filtered deep fry grease diluted with high proof alcohol or acetone.

That is not something to even jest about... I knew someone who did something like that and it really messed up his kids thinking and anyone who knew him. In today's world saying things like that can get you targeted for a RED FLAG visit or worse...I am old and tired, my parents and siblings are long-time dead, no significant obligations to friends or relatives. If the winter gets too hard to tolerate, maybe I'll bring a handgun downtown with me, and shoot myself while standing in front of town hall. Could be carrying a sign, but I don't know what for. Hmm. It's The Season - That's The Reason.
Well, maybe not.
No dude, life has meaning! I thought my life was over until I found forums like this and decided if what I knew could save a few lives, it was worth hanging on for. I'm a freaking wreck, All my friends and most of my family are gone, I'm half crippled and can barely go to the store for myself, I haven't dated in twenty years and my best friend might be a hallucination! Dude, if nothing else, every day you live is one more chance to give those who piss you off the finger and laugh! that my friend is as priceless as a fresh dawn!I am old and tired, my parents and siblings are long-time dead, no significant obligations to friends or relatives.

My family has been Vermont hillbilly for over 150 years. apparently the roots don't pull. When I was a kid and a young man, I loved living here year-round. Now I'much prefer to live January through March some where south of here; north Georgia would do. My job took me to Flowery Branch Georgia for a few weeks one winter 'back in the day', and it was - decent. Not hillbilly country, but the hills weren't far away. I could leave home right after Christmas, come back just before Easter for the summer and fall, without the tribe worrying about me too much. Yeah well anyway, it don't hurt to dream. Maybe just thinking about will confuse the snot-makers in my head. They can't be all that clever, being as how they are in MY head.I had that. Once I started smoking a cigar a week, it went away for some reason.
Just move to Ga. even here in the north we might get below freezing a week a year. Further south, even less.
Rent a 500$ a month trailer out in the rural areas 4 months a year, hunt some critters, BBQ in the driveway, you'll like it!
Whine away; are we not all here to listen & support?!! WHINE WARNING !!
Hah! I suspect you have a point there, Magus. The past ten years of so, winter and I have not, um, interacted well, and winter's been gaining on me. We'll see how it goes. It ain't people who piss me off, it's mostly snot when I'm trying to sleep. When my mouth opens to take over, I wake up and stay woke up until the nose works again. And it's upper respiratory tract, so it ain't COPD even. I ain't rich, so I can't do winters in Costa Rica.
Whine Over.
Dunno what Flowery Branch is near. 'Twas a long time ago I was there. Flew into Atlanta, drove north and some east for quite a while to get there. Seems like it was near the South Carolina border, but maybe not. I remember looking at a map, and seeing the southern end of the Appalachians nearby to the northwest. Guess I oughta look at a map again. if I'm going to dream about wintering down there.Flowery branch, I've heard of it, is it around Ringgold? Dalton used to be the place to be, but in the last decade it's turned to Still a great place to get old, everything is within a five mile drive to me. I myself am a Tennessee hillbilly, I yanked my own roots out of the ground the minute I could afford a vehicle. I came here to hang out with my aunt and uncle a week to gear up and go further south. that was 33 years ago. I never did get to the ports,
no reason to go now. as good a place to die as any I guess.
Sorry, Dylan Old Sock, all that sounds tiring-for no gain. My plan is to laugh with - not at - the Coming Of The Night. Sufficiently medicated as necessary, ready to smile as God shakes my hand in that universe beyond this one, that this life has been a tune-up for.Whine away; are we not all here to listen & support?
I have **** days (is that classed as swearing here? apologies!) looking at some posts here others have it worse than most. But don't give in- as written by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Nobody wants to talk about the end. It is forbidden .Sorry, Dylan Old Sock, all that sounds tiring-for no gain. My plan is to laugh with - not at - the Coming Of The Night.

Yeah!

I know how much suffering awaits me. Somewhere between 78 and 80 will be more than enough for me.
I did so much, for so many, for so many years, everything has "high-miles" on it.
I'm reminded of that famous line in the movie: "Blade Runner"...
"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly Roy."
And you didn't think I could get back on topic:
Rolling blackouts are coming for everybodyand will put their lights out!
