Grrrr. The pilot light wont stay lit and so I've been freezing. I called the Gas Company, and they can't send anyone for two weeks.

So I said, "it'll be 80 degrees in two weeks, nevermind."

SO COLD.

Happy Birthday Msbelle!

My roasted chicken soup exploded in the microwave. I've never had that happen with chicken & rice soup or any other variation. Does the roasting process involve cordite?

Did you have container sealed?

We had a baked potato explode in the oven yesterday. Had holes poked in it and everything. I'm standing there pouring a cup of tea and BOOM. It was pretty funny, actually. Especially since I didn't have to clean it up.

I called the Gas Company, and they can't send anyone for two weeks.

Holy crap. My parents' gas company is like "ahhh, don't touch anything! We're coming!" even over simple stuff like re-lighting the pilot after an outage. One guy sternly lectured my dad for re-lighting the water heater (which is kind of hilarious. ) I think they'd have a heart attack over a pilot light not staying lit.

I'm told BGE will do that stuff too, but I've never tested it.

This seems dangerous. Shouldn't they send someone out to check for a gas leak?

Happy Birthday msbelle.

Also, I think I might have African Sleeping Sickness. I am so sleepy. And as I was posting this, my old boss just came by and said hi to me. I do not know why she is here, as she works on another campus and she came from a door that cannot be opened from the outside.

On some furnaces you have to hold some gas valve thingie open for a minute after you light the pilot light.

Also, if the pilot light is not lit, the furnace will not leak gas if it's functioning correctly.

In fact, these two things are related.

Don't worry megan, there are two more hours of 24 on tonight.

The second half of the "four-hour" pilot right? Will they be repeating them on the weekend like previous seasons?

I'm getting spoiled by ABC and NBC--Fox doesn't seem to have last night's episode to watch on its website. Should I just read the whitefont? Is that enough to catch up the story so far?

It will stay lit after I let go of the gas valve ater holding it open for a minute, it's when I turn it from "PILOT" to "ON" that it will go out after a minute.

So I can huddle around the pilot light for the little warmth, but that seems ill advised.

I don't know if Fox is going to be repeating episodes of 24. It is the next two hours of the premiere.
