The nonsense has been regular and consistent, I'll give the government that.

Took me three hours. Hopefully as sound as the oven worked out.
The range didn't take long and I was tidier but I was unable to take the 116 apart even reading the instructions.
I'm glad that's behind me even if I abandon the house to live in a hollowed out tree because Pierre's son is so insane. This certainly is like the twighlight zone.

Really?! Good work Wren! You're right, it's little rough but it will do the job: keep a little heat in the pot at three in the morning and a slightly slower transfer to the room. Pretty good for an old bird like you.

The border is finally opening, making it very likely that I'll have coal this year as probably I can fairly easily get someone to pick it up for me. That's a relief I suppose.

In China it is 996. From nine in the morning to nine at night, six days a week. A socialist worker's paradise.

Is it really? How dreadful. I'm afraid we shouldn't have let our capitalists go over there. Now they'll be wanting that from workers here soon?

Hello and Welcome, Any questions should go to Sunny and Joeq and Franco and theyll tell you who can best answer your question. I have terrible, bad habits when burning coal or wood and am not to be giving advice!!!

So. My comments to my son will be mild enough so I'm going to complain here.
Just to be clear, I have three sons. The oldest is in Vancouver but when he visited when I still had coal he thought the stoves were awesome. My youngest is just as smart and verrrrry verrrrry careful with the stoves and used to load coal very wisely and efficiently. Even when he was fifteen.
My middle son is kind of like a politician. He seems nice and says most of the right things. But he is not kind to my stoves. Smashes the coalstoves less than the Drolet, but still, I live in fear and he has lost two cranks. This morning the top plate in the loading door is OFF!!! WHAT A WICKED BOY. I had already started the fire when I noticed. It does look like a hook is still there....I'm between waiting until he is gone to try to put it back and doing it now because I think it helps keep smoke from backing into the room.
Oh will my woes never end. Neither of my daughter's would abuse the stoves: one possibly wouldn't touch if she could help it and the other was better at running them than me. Even when she was sixteen.
There. Felt good to get that off my chest.

Sorry to hear your dilemmas Jen. But if there's anything I've learned over the years, there are 2 sides to every story. Question to start off with..."why was the plate taken off in the 1st place?" Was he doing you a favor, and tending the stove for you? And just forgot to put it back? I know as I get older, I'm getting more forgetful/careless unintentionally. Not trying to defend his actions if he's purposely sabotaging your Glenwood. That would be un-called for, and a means for termination, (one way or another). And I seriously hope he hasn't broken anything off of it.

Yesterday the male cardinal was singing high in a tree and today this little visitor is here.

I'm assuming that's a woodpecker? I have them here too, on my suet feeders, sometimes the little ones, and sometimes a big red headed little devil. Yours seems to be missing a tail, compared to the ones I see here Jen.
