  10. hi jeanine: in winter I keep our house very cold & use space heater wherever I m sitting in the house so no need to warm up entire house. In summer same thing this year we installed fans in every room & summer wasn't that bad financially. only had to start AC few times in summer. so all money saved is money earned for us. Asha

    Survivor???

    hey Micheal: welcome to our wonderful world of blogging & I am so happy that you were able to join us in our blogworld. I have found blogging hugely therupetic to work out my good & bad feelings. Stroke is stroke & it does affect people's life. you were fortunate in not having obvious deficits. but I bet deficits which aren't seen still cause similar havoc in people's lives. I stroked at age 34 which left me paralysed on my left side. unfortunately I could not go back to work & had to go through huge depression. slowly I have started to rebuild my life.today I live very different life but it's still fun life.
