@TomMcW ah. mumbling things at the paperweight in our basement with a gas line hooked up to it :/ (aka our currently dead furnace -- apparently the gas valve failed mechanically inside, tech should bring a replacement tomorrow and whack it in)
@Shalvenay Last time my heater died it was in the single digits F. It was just a thermocouple, but we didn't have one so we had to do an after hours service call.
I'm a very slow on Arabic keyboards, luckily Microsoft has this, converts franco-arabic to arabic, kind of like what some English-to-Japanese software do
@Shalvenay and here I am not happy with the early summer :P
@Shalvenay One time we had a power outage due to storms. It was friggin cold, but we tried to tough it out. At 4am my wife said "enough!" and we bailed to a motel
@ymb1 It snowed here most of the morning. You'd never suspect now, though. All melted when it hit the ground
@ymb1 lol. What I've always wished is that I could get a small generator that works on natural gas. I have a gas furnace, but it still won't work in a power outage because the circulation fans won't work
