CF needs a WTF rating for posts. Or a smilie face scratching their head because there are some real head scratchers
Our can only cans with one key so the dealership is paying for a second one. The place that they wanted us to come to is on the south side of IC (kind of by the airport) so I just drove all of the way down there and he says he got the time wrong and has someone else ahead of me that will take an hour and then mine will take another hour. I have to be back in CR at 4:30 for another appointment.
Well, apparently my furnace woes are not yet over. Daughter says it isn't running, and it was this morning. Gonna have to look a little closer.

Game night at Boxster's
I'm not sure how many times I've already seen it, but that Geico Pictionary commercial with the sloth still makes me laugh way more than it probably should.

Furnace only break when it's below zero. Truth.
Mine croaked on a weekend two years ago...way below zero outside. Guy comes, cannot get the part till Monday. We could get it to run manually with an alligator clipped bypast wire. It would run doing that but not restart. So Boxster was up and down the stairs for a couple of days restarting the thing all of the time. Chilly but my house plants survived.
You should switch out of retail and work at a sports bar. Keep up on the games, impress your customers with your sports knowledge and get paid.

Our AC went out when it was 102 degrees out when we had a toddler and when my wife was 9 months pregnant.
The AC repairman looked at me, then my wife and did this:
Years ago we drove up to Minneapolis for a friends bachelor party. It was about 4 degrees when we left Nevada and it was -17 when we got to Minneapolis. He wanted to stop by someone else's place before we went out and their furnace was having trouble. House was like 50 degrees and these people are all sitting watching TV in sleeping bags.
I generally keep a spare of most of the failure prone critical parts of my furnace as almost every year one of either the igniter, main controller or combustion blower go out. I don't have any problems taking care of it myself.
I don't care that it's cold, I don't care that work was a day full of me trying to get stuff done like a chicken with my head cut off and more frustration with IT/trying to get approvals from people out of the office and not in really in position to tell me no anyway...........today has been a glorious day. It's a wonderful, awesome Friday and today is a good day.gif.

That seems worse than mine. Ice storm two weeks after oldest was born left us without power for 8 days. Glad we had a fireplace. It was kind of fun cuddling up with the baby by the fire. We just stuck most of the food outside on the porch for a fridge.
We lived in a 10x55 when first son was born (27 December). Cold snap, and a stray cat got under the trailer and made itself a nice little nest by unraveling the heat wrap around the pipes. Burst a pipe. No water at all for 4 days, no hot water for several days after that. Boy, that was fun. All those moooshy newborn diapers (cloth, not paper...).
