I have my fireplace blazing.

[Ono]

I live in Michigan and it gets and stays friggen cold and I never do the things you are talking about, never had a problem.  The only thing I do is unhook the hoses and store them for the winter.  If you have a water pipe that is exposed to the air (as in not buried or anything) for several feet you might want to insulate it but other than that, the odds of your pipes freezing ae pretty darn close to zero.

It depends on whether or not your home is up on pier and beam....if so, then hence the need to wrap the pipes and do the drip. If your home is on a slab, it isn't necessary. The location is moot.

[MisGivings]

I really dont think y'all have to worry about your pipes, it takes the ground a long time to freeze even just a few inches deep.  But, better safe than sorry.

Blah,

I used to have a boss from Michigan who felt the same way. At least he did until some of the pipes in the office building froze and broke and he had to pay a big plumbing bill to get them repaired.  

y'all must have crappy pipes down there, i'm gonna send all y'all new pipes for christmas      

Well, you know must of us live in those hillbilly shacks, so we're just glad to have any plumbing at all.      

HEY!!! Don't talk about my house that way....
AND, you got inside plumbing??? wow, one can only dream here...

What about us folks with dirt floors?

That sounds so beautiful.  When we were in Oregon this summer, the cottage we stayed at had a gas fireplace.  I loved that thing!  I turned it on and was mesmerized by the flames.  Curled up in a chair and felt so cozy and safe.  My hubby had to open all the windows as it was much too hot, but I loved it.    

[Anna]

Blah,
Have you lost your dog?  I think I found him!!

Yeah, lots a folks like those gas burners, don't think I could afford the gas bill.

Who minds a bit of dirt when you have a blazing fireplace?  Splendid!  

[AZLady]

Oh, Anna, I'm glad you are back safe and sound from the frozen tundra.  What a cute doggie.  He resembles Blah, a little...

Yep, bout all I have to worry about is getting run over by a buffalo heard when I step outside.

You just don't want water in the spigots.  If you can't get the hose off, just make sure you don't have one of those adjustable ends that shut off water (twist) but the spigot is still open. Then just drain as much water out of hose as you can.
Tyler is right about the indoor faucets that have pipes running by an outside wall.  Let the water drip a little and open any cupboard doors to let the heat from the house get to the back wall.

blah
Your bruss. sprouts will be on my Xmas menu.

Tyler
Somebody told me that smoked turkey was the best turkey they ever had.  Does it taste like hotdogs or smoked sausage?? Sometimes all the smoked stuff tastes the same to me. I'm debating about trying one. TIA

It is much better than "regular" baked turkey or any other way I have had it except barbecued.  I buy them smoked from Honey Baked Ham or Logan's Farm, Williams-Sonoma, etc., (whoever has the price du jour).  I am not particularly fond of those I have eaten that people cook on their smoker, but I suspect all that I have eaten that way was done by ameteurs.  Smoked turkey that is done right tastes very similar to honey baked ham.

I agree with your ham retail sources above, Tyler. Also, I highly suggest this great source:

Klaas, little none said to tell you thank you for that star, it reminds her of him   she also said you are very sweet.

Blah- brussel sprouts are delicious, I roast them with a little olive oil, cracked pepper and lemon.........works great with asparagus, green beans, and new potatoes too !

[klaasend]

More confirmation regarding JK2 remaining suspects from Medleyrelay at FOB:

Sadly I heard from a reliable source that this is true. It was not the van der Sloots, but reliable. Normally I would not like to believe Monkey Poop and was hoping that MF or someone would come on here and speak up.

[Ono]

Anna, I thought you were ins Alabama, why are you worried about your pipes freezing?

For the same reason I'm worried about my pipes freezing in Tennessee. It's going to be 18 degrees here the next two nights.  

18 degrees for 2 nights is not going to make your pipes freeze and burst.

Maybe we have different water in the south.    

thats would explaint ALOT of things !!!


       



JUST KIDDING, DONT KILL ME !!!!!

Our Southern watah is softer!
