I'm Cold

hello carol i am so sorry that your heater went out like that. my boss' heater wasn't working on the downstairs part of their house this morning either. lol it is supposed to be in the 40's here this afternoon, but they are calling for snow/sleet mix late tonight here for the Nashville area. there might not be any school tomorrow around here and if that's the case, i won't be working again tomorrow either. grrr. take care and keep warm. have a beautiful afternoon.

Layer up, bundle up and keep warm. It always seems to happen that way. The air conditioner goes out when it's 110 degrees outside and the furnace goes out on the coldest day of the year. Glad you got hold of a repair service so quickly.

I feel for you. I am in Missouri as well and don't like the temperatures we are having today. Hope they get there soon so you don't turn to a popsicle. My brother's went out a few weeks back when we had a cold spell. They got it fixed quickly and for under $1500.

Aww, I'm so sorry, Carolbee, but it's been in the 80's here in Southern Cal. All I can say is that I hope you get the heater fixed pronto. You need to stay warm, my friend.

60 isn't that bad, actually. I keep the thermostat set at 60 round the clock but I'll probably be boosting it up to 65 by tomorrow being it's supposed to drop even more outside. Having the furnace go out is really bad, though, and at a very bad time. Hope it's fixed now.

i hate colds too.your temperature is harmless compare to what we have now.we have minus 18 degress and its very crispy cold

It is very cold here in Indiana also. We are to get some freezing temperatures tonight too. I hope you got your furnace fixed now. We have had to have our furnace services every year for the last three years. Something is always wrong with it but it is 10 years old too.

So sorry to hear about your furnace carolbee.. My furnace went out also in dec just before xmas it was my pump it costed me 620.00 that I didnt really have. so our xmas shopping was done but our furnace was fixed...at times like this it would be nice to be renting your home and not buying.Stay warm as possible,hold your pets close to you so you can share each others warmth. Let us no how all this turns out for you.. good luck

Yes! Its snowing and blowing here but not as bad as it's going to get tonight. I can put up with the snow.....I can put up with the wind....but it's supposed to get to -11 tonight....and that's what I hate about winter...Hope by now your furnace is all back in running order and that you are toasty warm!

Well, I hope you stay warm and it gets fixed by Thursday!! Maybe you could send some of the cool air west - it is in the 80's here in CA and nearly a week now of Santa Ana winds at around 85mph - 24/7! Hot and dry!! Every tree in town is nearly to the ground! And the dust is out of hand!

I understand your problem with this. Luckilky i haven't had to go thru it in some time. When I was living in NY it seems liked most of the time are power would go out in the mid of winter. And are pilit light on the finance would go out because it's electric. So we would be stuck in winter without any heat of lights or anything to even try to keep are minds off of the cold. I can remember one time that we were out of power for three days. Luckily we had a wood stove and a propane stove and that's how we kept warm. Although you really have to be careful because of the flumes. Now I live in nice South Carolina and I love it. It's sunny and shiny and the lows are about 40's and usually thru out the winter I can wear shorts and light sweaters. but I do feel your pain. I hope it's fixed soon.

Hi carolbee, Hope you are a bit warmer now and yes I do hate it when that happens and only happens when it is very cold. It is cold here too and we are having some nasty weather here too. Hugs. Tamara

Hey carol! I have the same problem here where I live! The boiler for my apartment seems to always break down when it is the coldest day and it takes forever for them to get it fixed! I have no control over it either since I live in an apartment. We don't even have the same boilers for the whole complex! So there are different boilers for different areas and the one I live in breaks down the most! I complained directly to the manager, but since he doesn't even live here I'm not sure that he will really do anything about it! I am worried because we are also expecting temperatures to be around zero with wind chills making it feel way below by the end of the week!

carolbee..I'll be worried sick about you all night!Thank goodness someone will be there for you soon. I've been worried about alternative heating for a while now.This makes me want one even more.You better get wrapped up and snuggle till someone comes!

Yes, I really hate it when things like that happens. I keep an electric heater around "just in case," and have plenty of blankets, etc. If you can do some baking, usually the heat from an oven will help warm the kitchen, anyway. Shut the door or hang a blanket over it if you can, to keep the one room warmer.

Good luck, I hope your able to get your furnace fixed. Drink lots of hot tea or cocoa to stay warm. Let us know what happens.

I hope you do keep good and warm until the furnace is fixed and that the problem is something that can be fixed right away and not cost a small fortune.

I hope your repain man comes quickly and fixes it right the first time. They only go out during the coldest times.

I am sorry to hear that your furnace went out this morning. I hope that the temperature in your house does not go down much more before the repair man gets there. I too live in Missouri. It is 31 here right now and it is supposed to get up to around 43. Tonight is supposed to get down to 18 though. I have electric heat and the baseboard heater in my bedroom is starting to go out. Sometimes it works fine and other times it does not. I have a little heater I can plug in for times when it is acting up at least.

take care, my carolbee.
