She is jealous of our boiler "Cindy".
She claims I spend too much time on this website and that EFM must stand for "Every Freaken Minute"!
I think she just doesn't look at life the same as I do. It's what you like in life that matters.
Reminds me of a quote I read on a live-aboard sailers blog.
He said "he had spent most of his life's money on booze, women and boats, the rest he wasted"!

Omg that's awesome!!! Ironically my wife's name is Cindy. My furnace's name is Ashley. I get accused of snuggling up to the other woman in the basement ALL THE TIME!!!

My wife took a different approach. Last year for Xmas she put a vintage tin sign from Lehigh Coal & Navigation on the coal bin, it reads " Keep this bin full".

My memory is poor...I just went downstairs and realized that is not at all what the sign says.Rob R. wrote:
