Good Morning!

Looks like my gas hot water and gas stove needs to be ripped out if thats the case @TAB Have seen folks just put induction heating over where stove previously was

Yes, @Former-Member, @TAB, my very old gas stove was almost dangerous to use but it was so efficient. I loved it. Electricity is so slow to heat and to cool, and so unregulatable. High, low or medium or thereabouts on stovetop.

My brothers and I live on 'different planets', too, @Former-Member. It's hard to believe we're sibs but I always feel a conscious, familial bond with them in absentia anyway (despite themselves!).😉

yeah that was only in one town in WA @Former-Member and the pipeline went to them and thats where it stopped. so no one else on the line, guess gas company put price up who knows. whatever the reason, they are cutting it off

okay it already happened

Perhaps the WA government should pay for it, @TAB.

Yes it happens. I lost contact with my brother 30 years ago @Historylover he's not really in my life but I do care about his general welfare

Me, too, re caring about our absent sibs, @Former-Member. I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect family, but mine...

I'm having a free shingles injection tomorrow. The practice messaged me this morning to advise of its availability. I'd been wanting to get one, and also for pneumococcus.

@Historylover @Former-Member article I just saw says govt gave town (?) like $10 million in some form or another to help change to electricity

Given to the state government, or to be given to its citizens, @TAB?

prob to council @Historylover I sent the link if you are interested. off for a nap here. Not often they give actual people money ,well unless its business, then the skys the limit I guess

We've had $250 contributions towards cold weather heating expenses two years in a row here in Victoria, @TAB. Sometimes they're generous. Not often.
