Re: My girlfriend wants a prius
D'oh. I meant my neighbor here in Florida has a pet pig.
And, I may be a little liberal, but I'm not a hippy. Those two adjectives shouldn't be so readily intertwined.
Isn't it good to see that a bunch of conservative Hummer owners can wind up appreciating a liberal with an environmental bend? (I hope I'm not being too presumptuous.) Be careful or I'll start daily threads about how you too can help save our planet.
Good night. I'm retiring for the evening. I'll try to make it back tomorrow as I'm sure you will miss me if I don't.

Re: My girlfriend wants a prius
I'm still guessing the pits are grody nappers, like she's got ZZ Top in a head lock.

Funniest post I've ever read. Cracking up. Let's see you guys shave half your body every day and not let it go a little nappy once in a while!

Not interested. However, I am interested in restoring the giant panda habitats so we can increase the number of them. My people are having supply issues. I have 4500sq ft to carpet and nothing really compares to giant panda fur on the feet on a cold night. Also any insight you may have on other near extinct or endangered items, like trees, plants, etc that would look good around/in my house and need to be snatched up quickly, would be very helpful.

As to the Panda question about cold floors..........see? This is where I can be useful to you guys. Just move into a passive solar house. In this type of construction, the sun's winter angle enters your interior rooms fully. The heat generated from the sun is stored in your flooring. At night, the heat releases to heat your house to save on heat costs. In the summer, the sun's angle doesn't allow any entry in your house which saves on A/C costs. So your little toes will be twinkly warm all the time! No need to cut of the toes of a Panda to keep you warm!
Ducky, I saw that you were looking into the construction of a log home. Maybe you could utilize this. There are no expensive materials involved. The theory only involves the position and size of the awning, the position of the house and a flooring material that allows for the heat radiation. You'll save a ton of money on heating and cooling. Or did you build that house yet?

I don't know about that... I would still long for the feel of Panda between my toes. Plus, I like it kind of cold. I typically keep my thermostats at 62 degrees just so I can keep my outside decks in the mid-70s so I don't burn up while grilling or laying in the sun. I don't suppose you know of a way to efficiently control the temperature outside of your home, do you?

You misunderstood. I like it kind of cold in my house, but like it hot outside. It feels more home'y when you step inside after a day of enjoying activities you can only accomplish in warmer climates.

Boy is this site persnickety towards enviro girls. I couldn't log on yesterday. You guys kept saying I'm forging or using a proxy and I'm not bright enough to know how to do that! Sheesh.
I'm sure you'll be glad I'm back as I have an enviro answer for your problem. You guys should be planting large native trees on your south/east exposure to block the morning sun from heating up your house. Trees planted on the south/west exposure will help block the afternoon sun fro heating your house in the afternoon hours. You can amend this based on your requirements for sun on your deck, but your energy costs will rise. Otherwise, do as suggested and save money on your energy bills. Enviro girl is all about saving money.
Ducky, you should seriously consider looking into passive solar as it could save you up to 50% on your energy costs - all just for how you lay out your house and windows. No one would even suspect you're a greenie as the house would look normal.
Anything else?
Anyone else having the most crappy day of their entire life today?

Re: My girlfriend wants a prius
The fact of the matter is most of us have energy efficient houses, energy saving/efficient appliances and more trees in our yards than most.
Zoe isn't preaching to those that have the oil burning 20 yr old Datsuns. The ones that head home after a long day at the plant with a case of beast, cracking em open, going out to their sh it weed patch to burn an old woodpile and some trash for the hell of it. Then walking a step inside his shoddy screen door to the multiple leaking old azz window unit ACs to cook some heavily packaged and preserved food on the cheap azz pot he will throw away in a year. While his wife preps for the night of their unceasing breeding with a disposable bic.
Either she is
A: Trolling for dick.
B: A lonely fat attention whore.
C: She believes now that she has a POS toxic tin can it gives her the license to preach because of the gas mileage and feels a new euphoric sense of enviro-imperialism and overall wisdom that the rest of us do not have and we truly care and seek her advice. (not mentioning the distaste in the intrusion preaching during a thread of a teenagers gloat of a senior picture.)
D: All of the above.
In the case of A, B, C or D, I would be happy to throw her to RYD or Shaggy.

Nope. Maybe you should take a ride in a Hummer... that always cheers people up.

No glitch. The settings are totally different outside of the H3 Forum.
