So he always had one of those metallic silver tress with the color wheel light?

We had a mirrored ring under ours with 3 spot lights shining up at it and a spot light on each end of the living room curtain rods shining down on it. I'm trying to remember the colors. I think red, green, blue, yellow, and pink. And it rotated - what a production! :hilarious:

When my boiler is out I have no hot water. I just figured it's my world and everyone else just lives in it so it MUST be the same.

Seems reasonable! I guess I shouldn't tell you that I don't even have a furnace, I have a heat pump/air conditioner. Every appliance is electric and it only costs me, on average $80.00 per month. However, when the power is off... I am screwed. I do have a Coleman stove and small hidden away butane tanks. Hidden away for just such an emergency. (please don't tell anyone because I am not supposed to have them in this complex). They don't mind open fireplace fires, but, they get all nervous about butane.

Flashback: Picture it... 1963. Both my grandmothers passed away within 4 months of each other. Immediately followed by my Dad losing his job. Dad is given a good job offer, but, in another state (end of August). Found a rental and moved quickly because both myself and my sister had to start school. So brand new school, no friends within 75 miles. My sister and my mother were lost souls. Wandered around like zombies. November 22nd, in the middle of Sophomore English class the PA comes on telling us that President Kennedy has been shot and killed in Dallas. A few days later Thanksgiving was upon us. One of my Fathers co-managers and his family was over for dinner and we all got to watch a live killing of Lee Oswald on the TV. The one high point was that I got my driving permit so I was driving the store to get a Christmas tree when an old guy snow slid into the back of the car at a stop sign. Managed to pick up the tree that was on sale at a big retail chain store that is no longer in existence. It was an aluminum tree with the color wheel. I can remember sitting in a chair staring at it, still in a major case of shock over the entire year and thinking this is as bazaar a year as is possible. This year has beat it and it isn't even done yet.

At least we had Uncle Walter Cronkite telling us with is soothing, honest voice that all would be OK. He never really said it, but, his manner made you feel like he had it under control. And BTW, Bob Saget was 6 years old and at home with his mommy at the time. Don't know were he is now.

As I read this, I thought about all the people that go through some hard times in their lives. But the silver lining to those times is that it makes you stronger. My grandparents (on my mother's side) went through quite a lot when they first came over here from Ireland. They had close to nothing and were poor, yet they were "rich" in character, generosity and intelligence.

I've thought about this a lot this week too. There are a lot of people who have it a lot worse than our little inconvenience, and ours will be resolved soon.

My mother used to tell us, "There's always someone out there that's worse off than you." As a kid, I didn't appreciate her telling me that, as I was upset (about some little kid problem) and could have cared less about someone feeling worse than me! (I think sometimes I thought she was lying. :cautious: ;) )

Anyway, really glad to hear that your furnace will finally be fixed tomorrow.

You want to know something sad? When I'm sitting in class bored, I sometimes pretend people in my class are different tribes/alliances and figure out how I'm going to work my way to the end. Choosing who I want to take to the end is always the toughest task. Today I found a way that people wouldn't be mad at me for orchestrating blindsides against my alliance members, but they would get made at the guy who didn't and was just part of the vote. I ended up taking him to the end.

Also, we were talking about eating bugs (it was part of an article we read about the benefits of eating bugs) in class, and I brought up the Survivor food challenges to my group. One of my classmates replied, "You are obsessed with that show, aren't you?" I admitted my addiction by saying, "Yep. I've seen every episode of all 33 seasons." My group was baffled it's been on for 33 seasons. Then they asked how long each episode was, and I said around 40 minutes and informed them the past two summers haven't been that productive for me. :oops:
