and it didn't make sense why you would need a heater to warm or dry your towels. We have heated towel rails in our house and I think they are the best thing since sliced bread. They are very cheap to run. They take the chill off the air on those cold mornings when we struggle to get out of bed

On Lynn's email: Dying for freedom isn't the worst that could happen, being Forgotten is! is a bit of an unfortunate statement at the moment because of the current bombings/attempted bombings in London, Egypt, Iraq and other places - freedom from the infidels is one of the bombers' aims.

I don't know about stone houses and tornadoes. The first major manmade disaster in England was the Dale Dyke Dam disaster in 1864, when a nearly completed reservoir dam near Sheffield collapsed due to a combination of factors, including incorrect siting, weight of water and wind direction. The

the safest home you could own is geodesic dome or a concreted dome home. you can have them on top or underground. they are round even at the roof. some look like giant golf balls. the concrete ones are made of shotcrete, which is made of concrete mixed with paper. it is very hard to dry, but
