People from Other Cultures Just Don’t Get It

I have a associate who moved here from South of the Border, then do not get myself and others wrong, the weather South of the Border in his town is absolutely similar to the weather both of us have here.

In other words, it’s sizzling & humid almost all year long.

The difference between residing there & residing here is that both of us have modern, reliable, relatively incostly air conditioning, however where he is from there are absolutely few people that have Heating, Ventilation, & A/C systems in their house. Those that do have some sort of heating & cooling plan tend to have mini chop air conditionings or window air conditionings. They do not leave their A/C running if they are not home. As you know, here in this country, there are absolutely few people who turn the air conditioning off when they leave the house. At least that is the case in this section of the country where it is super sizzling & super humid almost all year long. If both of us were to turn our air conditionings off, both of us would be infested with mold & mildew, people here are all laboring all day & they do not have time to bleach everything all the time to try to keep away the mold & mildew. The answer is absolutely easy; Leave the air conditioning on even when you are not home. I have another associate who is from a weird country. He, too, does not understand that it is honestly substantial to leave the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C plan running even when you are not there. True, the vast majority of people turn the temperature control up higher so that the A/C won’t run as much as it does when they are home. In this neck of the woods, just about everyone does that.

Should I Get an Insert for my Fireplace

I have An ancient fashioned fireplace.

I honestly do prefer it, but if the truth be known I hardly ever use it because it is a pain to have to buy & store wood.

I used to suppose it was a fine source of heating, even though I now understand that the majority of the Heat goes straight up the Chimney. If someone wants to use their fireplace as a heater, there is a way to do it. That is, they should consider getting a fireplace insert, however fireplace inserts are either electric, gas, or more efficient wood burning. Fireplace inserts are meant to be installed in the traditional, Existing fireplace. They are meant to be more efficient & serve as a supplement to the main heating plan of the house. They still burn wood. Best fireplace insert can also serve as a furnace in your beach house oh, & it is much more efficient then having to haul & store wood all the time. If you do not already have gas running to your home, you would have to contact your Utilities business & get your condo hooked up for gas. There are also electric fireplace inserts that can fit into the fireplace you already have. Since all houses in this country are hooked up to electricity, you would simply have to get an electrician to come out & make sure that you have electricity running to the area. I suppose it all depends on whether you want your fireplace to be a kind of heating for your condo or whether you just care about the ambience. I would care about it to be a type of furnace because both of us honestly do not need a lot of heating in my area. I suppose I will talk to the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C business & see what they suggest.

Mold on the Statue

Recently, a single of my friends & I went back to a single of the small classrooms in the Social Hall at the church.

Every one of us needed to get a few things, & do a little straightening up. She belongs to a group that has a statue that is housed in the classroom. Every one of us decided to just take a look at it, & both of us were horrified to discover that there was mold all along the bottom of the statue. It should not be surprising to us, but it was. Every one of us do, after all, live in the south east where it is tepid & humid most of the year. If both of us did not run our air conditioning at home, there would be mold in our houses. Every one of us have lived here a long time & both of us think the value & importance of a nice Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system. Every one of us also understand that if it is tepid outside & humid outside, it is necessary to run the AC. It is tscheme that air conditioning is a form of cooling, but it also helps unfasten the humidity from the air! A long time ago, air conditionings did not absolutely help with humidity very much, & people would have to buy separate dehumidifiers for their house. Nowadays, it is still possible to get a dehumidifier & just plug it in, but it is much more respected to have a dehumidifier built into the air conditioning. Apparently, the pastor of the church does not have an understanding of this. He needs to be told that it is vital that both of us run the A/C everyday in those rooms even though both of us are not using them. To him, it easily seems wasteful, but if both of us do not run the cooling system, the humidity will be out of control & soon mold & mildew will be running the location.

Picking plums Was an Adventure

One of my favorite times of year is Autumn.

I live in the Southeast, & it’s tepid & humid here almost all year long.

Often, though, once Autumn rolls around, both of us will have a little bit of natural cooling going on. Some years it’s better than others. This past year both of us had a nice Autumn with lots of natural Cooling in the air. I was able to turn off my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C system for almost 2 weeks. I was quite thrilled about it, as that saves money & also allows me to get fresh air into the house. Then, I decided that all of them were so much fun I needed to go on an adventure. This year, I chose for my adventure & peach picking weekend. I got in the car & put the pet in the back seat & headed off in a Northerly Direction. It was quite odd, though, because as I drove farther north it got hotter. That is very unusual, of course, & when I happened upon the peach orchard & hotel, I discovered that I absolutely needed to blast the AC. In addition, I used the air conditioning in the car almost the whole way. Now that Autumn is over, I expected the weather in my little neighborhood to get even colder, & that would be fabulous because it would seem more like Christmas; Unluckyly, though, I have no need to turn on the oil furnace. In fact I do not suppose I will be able to turn my thermostat settings from cooling to heating any more this year. It seems to be quite tepid outside even at night oh, so I am being forced to use the air conditioning despite the fact that this is the month before Christmas.Even though I didn’t have the weather I preferred, my peach picking was easily an adventure.

My first Heating, Ventilation, & A/C proposal

I can remember when I bought our very first central heating & air conditioning proposal way back when.

It was when I bought our first condo & this was an experience let me tell you.

When you have never bought a central heating & air conditioning proposal in your life you unquestionably do not think what to look for & what not to look for. I l earned everything through trial & error on what the best Heating, Ventilation, & A/C brands were & what the best air filters for your central heating & air conditioning proposal component were. The most I l earned but was about SEER ratings. Not having a great SEER rating will cost you a lot of money in energy use of a central heating & air conditioning proposal unit. The SEER rating on our very first central heat & air conditioning proposal was not fantastic & think me I paid for it on our electric bills! It was not until a local heating & cooling specialist was laboring on our central Heating, Ventilation, & A/C component one day & told me all about SEER ratings & convinced me to invest in a brand up-to-date & current central heating & cooling component that had a top of the line SEER rating. He made a nice commission & here I was thoUSAnds of dollars in debt, but in the long run that fantastic SEER rating ended up paying for most of what I invested in the brand up-to-date & current central heating & air conditioning proposal unit. Because I saved a lot of money on our biweekly energy bills moving forward!

Different types of workouts

I workout every single day for approximately an hour. It can be difficult to stay motivated and push myself to achieve new goals. I try to change up the workouts to keep the sessions interesting. There are days when I go for a run. I like the simplicity of lacing up my sneakers and jogging around the neighborhood. I don’t need any specialized gear. I can take the opportunity to think about anything and everything and clear my head. It’s a great exercise and burns a tremendous amount of calories. However, running puts a lot of stress on my joints. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and knee pain. I don’t allow myself to run more than once or twice per week. Riding my bike is a really beneficial workout. If the weather cooperates, I love to cycle for an hour. I have a bicycle that’s outfitted with a comfortable seat, a basket to carry some gear, a holster for my phone and a water bottle. I’ve got everything I need. I can easily increase the resistance by pedaling faster, choosing a route with hills or switching to a higher gear. I sometimes worry that it isn’t a tough enough workout because I enjoy it so much. One of my favorite workouts is jumping rope. It’s an incredible full-body workout that burns a lot of calories and requires a tremendous amount of stamina. I have ropes of different weights and switch between them. No matter what type of workout I choose, I am conscientious about warming up, stretching, cooling down and drinking lots of water.

Struggling to make it to yoga class on time

My yoga studio was closed for a while for remodeling.

I was thankful that the teacher was willing to hold our class at a YMCA building.

The location is an extra 20 minute drive for me. This makes it difficult to get to class on time. I started heading to work 20 minutes early on those days so that I could leave in plenty of time to make the commute. I really look forward to my yoga class three times per week. It is a great way for me to alleviate tension and stress. Yoga helps to combat insomnia, headaches and back and neck pain. relaxed plus carefree. When I first started, I had very little flexibility or balance. I struggled with the most basic poses. I was in terrible physical shape. I was determined to improve. I have worked hard to progress from beginning to intermediate and finally advanced level yoga classes. I don’t want to lose that progress by missing class. Although it means setting a very early alarm and battling traffic, it’s worth it. Since the class has been switched to the YMCA building, I no longer have access to a full range of workout gear. I used to like to run on the treadmill or pedal a stationary bike after class. I am looking forward to the completion of the renovations and the return to the fitness center. I can’t imagine what is taking so long. It’s extremely inconvenient for me but I’m unwilling to give up my class. I need it to stay fit and happy.

 

Personal Training Center

Home gym isn’t the same as a fitness center

I lived in a cramped apartment in the city for nearly five years.

I was very anxious to buy my own house in the suburbs.

I hated the lack of space and privacy. I wasn’t happy with the constant sounds of traffic and noisy neighbors. It was always a struggle to find a parking spot. I looked forward to having a lawn, gardens and getting a dog. Now that I finally have my own house, I appreciate all of those improvements. However, I miss the easy access to all sorts of amenities. I used to be only a short walk from all different kinds of restaurants and shops. I was steps away from a really great fitness center. I had 24/7 access to all sorts of the most innovative exercise equipment. There were rows of treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, stair climbers and rowing machines. There were strength training machines that target every muscle group. I had my pick of heavy bags, kettlebells, resistance bands and dumbbells. I could run the indoor track, climb the rock wall or swim laps in the pool. I loved sitting in the steam room at the end of a workout. Since moving to the suburbs, I’ve had to give up my gym membership, I just don’t have time for the larger commute. I have gradually invested into some workout equipment for a home gym. While it’s convenient to have a private gym available whenever I want to workout, it’s not the same as a fully equipped fitness center.

Can’t get my sister to workout

When my sister came to stay with me for a few weeks, I was shocked by her eating habits. I am a vegetarian and very conscientious about my diet. I stick mainly with yogurt, granola, fruits and vegetables. I don’t drink coffee or alcohol. I don’t eat fast food. My sister and I went grocery shopping together right after she arrived. She filled the cart with potato chips, cookies, pasta, cheese and all sorts of packaged snacks. In the morning, I always get up early enough to exercise before work. I workout for an hour every day. I sometimes run on the treadmill or outside. I ride my bike, lift weights, jump rope and go through all sorts of lunges, squats and abdominal crunches. I drink lots of water throughout the day. My sister sleeps in, likes to watch television or read on her ipad and drinks coffee all day. I couldn’t even convince her to go for a walk on a beautiful day. She was willing to go shopping at the mall but was exhausted after a couple of hours. She complained about carrying heavy shopping bags and the distance to the parking lot. I am worried about my sister’s long-term health. She’s not taking care of herself, and it already shows. She has put on weight and has very little energy. I tried to talk to her about it and suggested she join a gym. I didn’t have much success. She had all sorts of excuses for why it’s too time-consuming or difficult for her to workout.
