And my furnace quit overnight.

I love winter, but this is really, really bad timing.


Fixed [URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL] (and cheap, I think my cousin gave me a pretty good deal) Now it's really loud, like that furnace in 'The 'Burbs' and my dog and cat are looking at the registers sort of weird ..... but whatever, it's warm.

1. Be careful!

Stay warm! Do you have someplace to go?

2. Thanks Manny. I have a propane tank with one of those infrared heaters on top going

in my basement so the pipes don't freeze (I hope), and my oven and a few electric heaters up here, I'll be ok ... it's just maddening that it had to happen today. I do have places I could go, but my huge dog and cat make me a little hesitant to ask.

I have a cousin who's a plumber/furnace person so will call him soon. If he can't come though and I can't find anyone else (plumbers and furnace-repair people are rare here, I'm in a tiny town surrounded by other small towns), I'm going to start burning things, lol.

4. Thanks riverbendviewgal ...

He's coming about 2:00, thank goodness. Right now my cat is laying on my feet, so they're nice and warm anyway.

Cats are useful. Hope your problem wkth furnace is simple and cheap.

6. They are, except that if I move them mine bites like a dog.

Thank you, I hope so too.

Dunno what I'd do without my lil' footwarmer come winter:

Daughter (an aspiring photographer) snapped that pic of him.

You keep warm now! Take care....
