I hope I have a sense of humor left when those comments come to me in a few years. <BR/><BR/>Our boiler quit last winter when it was -37. Lucky for us we caught it quickly and it was a tripped switch. This winter, though it hasn't been cold I am constantly paranoid that it will quit again and my baby will freeze to death in her bed. I am always feeling the radiators to make sure they are warm!Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581319298585887199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1140464898479856142006-02-20T13:48:00.000-06:002006-02-20T13:48:00.000-06:00That sucks!

It was off for about 4 days with temperatures in the 20's, and I found it damn scary! Something about having a little kid to protect with what felt like a real danger of her freezing and dying put me into mama-animal mode. Glad you're out of the woods yourself, and it IS a good thing to have that extra layer sometimes, huh?Sugarmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425625624997484305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1140446310605134622006-02-20T08:38:00.000-06:002006-02-20T08:38:00.000-06:00Glad you got your power back.Glad you got your power back.Fraulein Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973894650450550769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1140409356227548922006-02-19T22:22:00.000-06:002006-02-19T22:22:00.000-06:00For the past few years we've gone without heat at ...For the past few years we've gone without heat at least a couple of days every winter, due to an old furnace. Inevitably, it would die on Friday night or Saturday morning, and since I'm to cheap to pay a repairman weekend rates we'd wait until Monday to have it fixed. It's amazing how that cold eats away at you after awhile. We finally got the furnace replaced this year. <BR/><BR/>I've done the no toliet thing too, when Hubby overtightened a bolt and cracked it after replacing the wax seal underneath. At 9:30pm. First thing in the morning, we were at Home Depot, buying a new toliet!<BR/><BR/>I think Li is right, though...Doing without the coffee would send me running to a friend's house quicker than the lack of heat!The Gradual Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874697836513642135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1140403987302551002006-02-19T20:53:00.000-06:002006-02-19T20:53:00.000-06:00Oh, yucka.
