    Title says it all. It can be positive, neutral or even a negative but I can see this being low...maybe.

    Really this is anything peculiar that occurs when you’re in full swing as opposed to not at all.
    My example? Boogers. Enough said.

    Have at it...

    You got that right! Im amazed how calm it can be when the tv gets switched off. Got a 12 watt orange bulb in a lamp and fire is just cruising. It’s quiet.

    Funny story...

    A friend that burns wood cannot operate his stove without burning his forearms. One day he had an appointment for a yearly physical. The doctor says “what the heck happened to your arms” the guy explained how he hits the door lip when loading. The doctor was not a wood burner and thought he was intentionally burning himself like a cutter. He wanted to refer him to a psycologist.

    Relaxing, soothing, heat. Lots of it.

    Want to cook chili or stew on stove top.

    Cards, games, puzzles next to stove.

    Forums start to appear on WWW and people post about common interests. :salute:

    Agreed. I believe we (humans) have some kind of natural link or desire for fire- I think it goes back to our furry ancestors and has become embedded in our genes. It seems that all humans will stop and watch a fire. And no, I am not talking about the ones with the fire trucks parked in front of them either. :picard:

    I just enjoy the heat yeah but often I’m too warm if I’m doing something. If not, it can be either or. Luckily i have the heat on high but its cold out now to make a good balance if need be.
