You do realize she is a senior citizen? She is also living with disabilities.

I know that she's capable enough to process firewood

and

Making decisions to save money that might kill her.

I stand by my suggestions.

I'm just wondering why the installer went from what appears to be six to eight at the elbow, and then ran such a long horizontal relative to the vertical?

Couldn't find the appropriate 6-8 increaser?

I would expect to see that at the wall, then the 6 elbow, and then the short vertical connection to the stove collar.

Actual smoke in the house, rather than residual should set of the smoke detectors.

Thinkxingu, you've gone from mansplaining to social worker. Please keep the discussion technical (woodstoves), not personal. I work, I'm not disabled. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. You used to funny, Thinkxingu. Not so much anymore.

What do y'all consider old? 70 is the new 40, didn't you hear? What's this about disabled, for crying out loud??? What are these rumors?? Cease and desist.

Mansplaining? If by that you mean "answering questions you had no idea about" then, yes—guilty as charged.

As for social worker, you're literally cutting things so thin that you're risking frozen pipes, Legionnaire's Disease, smoke inhalation/poisoning, etc. etc.

Finally, let's not forget why your last electric bill was $55. You're welcome.

Please make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors on every level of your home. Some fire departments will provide and install them. Good luck with your stove

Hopefully you can answer questions about things like woodstoves without demeaning me publicly. You seem to fall apart when I don't cave in to your pressure to do things your way. If that causes you distress, there are obvious solutions.

I'm sorry if I'm being demeaning, but that was not my intent—as mentioned above and in other threads by myself and others, much of what you're doing is no joke.

Good luck.

Best get off your high horse before you break your neck.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but it's clearly time to go our separate ways.

Please stop messaging me asking for more info, and we'll put this to bed.

Again, good luck.

My last messages to you were about my $50 refer-a-friend reward from Direct Energy that mistakenly ended up in your account. Since you think I'm poor, it would be good if you didn't keep that credit for yourself. Just call Direct Energy and let them know about the error and they will correct it. I gave you all the information you need to identify the payment.

We went through this via IM and I shared the conversation I had with Direct Energy where they said they don't give out personal info. I had a few friends sign up as well, so there's no way to tell on my end whose credit I'm getting.

If your friend wants to work with Direct Energy since it's his/her account, that's on him/her, but you've decided where this friendship has gone so I'm done.

Direct Energy doesn't need to give out any information. You simply need to tell them that Person X was my referral, not yours. Direct Energy already told me that you were credited for Person X.

When I asked Direct Energy who my credit was for they told me they couldn't tell me and that it was up to the person who referred to confirm the right person got it.

I spent over an hour waiting online and on that chat, and I shared the process with you a couple weeks back through PMs. I'm not doing anything else. Your friend made the mistake, it's up to her/him to deal with it.

I made the mistake, not my friend, because I didn't understand the referral system. Have fun with my $50! You have no shame.

Honestly sailin why don’t you take this offline…this “thing” you have with Think is really not what this forum is about… stop poking the bear and just give it a rest… take a deep breath and just simply MOVE ON….

Now, let’s get back to our regularly scheduled program!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Thinkxingu commanded me to not message him. He made untrue public statements about me which I have corrected. If a forum member cheats you, I hope you will share that information.

Listen, I know Think, he is a great guy…whatever happened between you and Think doesn’t matter “HERE” and diminishes the forum and its purpose. Just relax and realize this is just an Internet forum. Stop trying to get the last word or whatever point your trying to make as it just does not matter…

Have a great, happy and safe New Year!

It matters if someone solicits a forum member with a PM inviting them to do something involving money, and then exploits that person.

[thinkxingu]

I had a long response here, but I've deleted it and will let my history of posts on this forum dictate my reputation.

Sorry for the mess, all.

[SailinAway]

What's that you say? You don't like being maligned publicly, you "great guy"? Gosh, neither do other people. I don't appreciate you portraying me as unemployed and needing welfare. I've been employed in the same professional trade for 25 years.

Apparently you don't have a lot of insight into your conduct. Where do you get this assumption that you're smarter than everyone else and hence you have a right to judge people's personal decisions and tell them what to do?? You've been here a long time and you have a lot of posts? Does that give you certain privileges, like disrespecting people or cheating them? You know very well that my friend used your referral code. Direct Energy confirmed it to me and I told you. Therefore you received $50 from my referral, in addition to the $50 you made off me joining.

Why are you making such a big deal about this? If you know it was her referral, just give her the $50.
