My Chipin adventure ended October 1st. How did I do? I have $35 towards my furnace goal of $5000. lol… It seems that 99% of my readership is coming from people with brain tumors. I’d say it’s not surprising they have other things on their mind than my furnace problems. They clearly aren’t the blogging types either because they hardly ever leave comments.

So my informal review of Chipin is that it could be pretty darn cool and generate you some income if you actually have a blog people read. Yeah, I know, that was totally obvious.

For those of you who contributed, I offer a heartfelt thank you! As for the furnace. I could be in trouble here but I will do what the furnace guy did in April when he came for the third time last winter, set fan to always on and set the furnace to emergency heat. Guess that’ll run the electric bill up but I have no choice. If natural gas goes up the 40% I’ve seen predicted, I’m in trouble anyway. I’m already bundled up trying to be warm and I don’t think it’s below 60 degrees. I may try a solution I saw on CNN, although for that to work I think I need to be foreclosed on first which could take months. Then I can save my mortgage payment money and by my calculations I can then afford a furnace in 12 months! Awesome :p

Just so you know your money isn’t being squandered, it’s going to sit there in the furnace fund until I actually get one. That could be a while but I’m not touching it!
