    Oh dear, that IS a nuisance! In a case like this, it's probably good your dad is in a nursing home - older people freeze more. Glad your crew found a way to snuggle up and keep warm. But poor Lacey.

    Please be careful with that gas oven, it uses all the oxygen in the house and can be dangerous. Hope you won't need to do that.

    Wow, 22 hours without heat. I'm with Lacey on that one. Brrrr. Makes you wonder how the pioneers made it doesn't it?
    Please be careful with leaving the stove on for heat( I know you will). We had a news story a few weeks ago where a lady did
    just that & burnt the house down. Hope you get it all sorted out soon.

    Relieved to see your post. I've been wondering how you (and others in the path) did during the blizzard. 22 hours without heat is not good but it sounds as if you did the best you could with the babies. Glad the heat come back on. Being without power is terrible... happens often here even with a rainstorm sometimes Please be careful and I do know how frustrating it can be without computer or tv. I dont know how I used to get along without computer... always had tv. We look forward to photos when everything is up and running. Take care of yourself and I know you'll take good care of the babies.

    Glad you came thru the storm no worse for wear than you did. I was wondering how you made out. If you were able to get out to the nursing home, they must have done a quick job clearing the roads. Can't wait to see your pics - the shots that have been on t.v. are truly amazing. It's pretty now, but just give it a few days of a warm-up, and it will be all dirty and nasty looking. YUK

    And I'm going to put in my 2 cents worth regarding using the oven for heat. DON'T DO IT - it is dangerous. We all want you and The Fluffs and the kitties to be around here for a LONG time! I'm sure if phred was here to read this, he would give you a very big lecture on it too!
