I bet you two make quite a pair. I've always wanted to learn how to drive a horse and to plow. I just can't get the hang of it.
Welll .... the only one that I can think of: When the wicks get dark and funky-looking from some nicquids, the shorter ones are less obvious.

There you go. The funk factor is less with the short ones.
I think there is a thread below that has some minor differences. One being the longer wicks can separate the liquid. The shoter ones are harder to wick or something like that.
Some strange reason I cant get my clearos to work. I like the ce3s better just sometimes I dont want to deal with my wifes funny looks. I put them in a bag of rice to dry and they havent worked since. I don't recommend doing that.

Our IT office in Philadelphia had cube walls that weren't attached to each other, budget operation. A couple of the guys shrank someones cube an inch each day for about a month and a half. He finally noticed when he couldn't move his chair back far enough to get his legs under the desk. (No, it wasn't me and I didn't do it)

No well I could deal with IF there was a ready supply of water somewhere not too far away. No electricity would be a problem, recharging batteries is very important.
Wow! I could do it, but I wouldn't be happy about it. We all do what we must to survive. Kudos to you!
I lived without both a well and electricity for about three weeks when a giant white oak took out our well and electrical pedestal and propane tank. Unfortunately, it happened to be February, and it was about 13 degrees outside when it happened. I quickly learned how important it is to have a good fireplace, plenty of firewood, good insulation, and a lot of candles and blankets on hand. The value of having lanterns that are fueled by lamp oil or kerosine is not to be underestimated either. Hey - they worked for the old timers! But if I couldn't have charged my PV batteries at work I woulda been a miserable puppy.
I lived in Turkey for 6 months, and during the winter we had running water and a heater in the living room, but then we went to the summer place, right on the sea, which was lovely. There, we were about a mile from town, a small fishing village, which I hear is now a hot tourist destination, and we had no electricity or running water. We had a pump outside the house, and a tank on the roof. About 1000 pumps would fill the tank, and then you could turn on the faucet in the kitchen and get a little water, if you used it sparingly. We filled terra-cotta jugs with water to drink right from the pump, not from the roof reservoir, and that was the sweetest-tasting water I've ever had. The sea was right out the back door and down a steep set of steps built into the cliff, and we swam every day, so all we did for bathing was to rinse off the salt water. My daughter was a baby when I was there, and the biggest inconvenience was doing diapers by hand. Also, in the winter place, to get hot water for a shower, you had to build a small fire in the bottom of the hot water heater tank, let the water warm, then shower quickly. For washing dishes, we heated water in a kettle and mixed it with cold water from the tap. Same for doing the diapers. Disposable diapers weren't commonly available in Turkey in 1971. I brought some with me from the USA, and when guests visited, they were handed around for visitors to exclaim over. Also, when I arrived, we slept under mosquito nets, which I found stifling, and somehow, an enterprising mosquito always managed to get under the net and drive me crazy, so I suggested screens for the windows. I explained what they were, and a local carpenter was found to install them, and we were the first in our neighborhood to have screen windows! Who knows -- maybe the idea spread, and I was the one to introduce screen windows to Turkey. I doubt that, though, since if I had the idea, someone else must have had it, too, and a useful and easy to install thing like that probably originated from several sources. However, a change I wasn't able to make was using the short brooms to sweep. They had the brush end the same size and type as the brooms we know, but no long handle, more like a whisk broom, so you had to bend over to sweep. When I suggested a longer handle, I was told it's good for you to bend over to sweep. Huh? Anyway, other than vacation camping trips, that was my experience roughing it, and I had no problems adjusting -- except maybe washing diapers by hand, which was really hard on my hands. Of course, I was in my mid-20s then, so I was probably more adjustable than I would be now, but I'd like to think I could still fill that reservoir on the roof all in one go without a rest as I worked myself up to that summer.
