It's currently 19 degrees (-7.2 c) outside... and the temprature is falling. It's supposed to hit a low of 13 degrees (-10.5 c) tonight.

Brrrrrr!

Unfortunately... my furnace gave up the ghost today and I have no heat.

The exaust fan decided to sieze up durring the day, a fact I didn't realize until after I had been home for a while (and after the temprature in the house had fallen 10 degrees from where it should be). No exaust fan = no heat.

Thank God for the gas fireplace (with blower). But that only heats the top floor. My eldest has a waterbed and should be fine, I put an oil filled mobile heater in my youngest son's room.

So... I'll be skipping work tomorrow in favor of attempting to find a replacement part. Hopefully they'll have it in stock so I won't have to wait till next week, or I'll be saying "fuck it" and buy a new furnace (I didn't want to buy any christmas presenst this year anyway).

Wish me luck.

I feel your pain. Furnace bills suck.

Ooh, sorry to hear it Bio Our heat is acting really funny right now, and refuses to come on until 6:00pm or so, and it's always off by morning. But the landlord is fixing it.

It's alive!!!

I called the phone numbers that the manufacturer’s website showed for service only to find out that they were wholesale only. Fortunately, the second one I called was kind enough to tell me that they had the part in stock and gave me the phone number of a dealer who would sell it to me.

I called that dealer and he said he would call me back with a price. 10 minutes later, he did just that...

$459

OMFG!!! *gasp*

It's a fucking plastic blower with a small electric fan! Bejesus!

Thank God Al Gore invented the internet! I told him that I found it online for $258.23. After a few seconds, the guy said he'd match that price, plus tax if I gave him the url. I guess you're not supposed to sell online at wholesale prices. (whatever)

So, long story even longer, It's fixed.

YAY!

You have no idea.

Nothing says "good morning" quite like your testicles crawling up inside you first thing in the AM because it's so damn cold in the house.

"little fellows"

"twigs and berries"

Isn't it weird that testicles shrink up in cold while breasts come out to say hello?

I like that feature in a breast!

Breasts are just more outgoing...

When it happens to a man, it says "hid me". When it happens to a woman, it says "hold me".

I can live with that!

LMAO
