Well that explains my email notifications. It showed alot of people posted (I checked personal emails after I came on here). Very weird, I kept trying to come in and out but no posts after mine. Trainlady pm'd me too but it also doesn't show up on FC. I am glad everyone is back though, I missed all of you alot the last couple of days. So far, we still have electric. What a trip that was being without for so long.
Kerosene aint cheap here in the city... $2.50 a gallon! and that's if you could find it. When I bought the heater in 1999 I also bought a kerosene container and filled it up... so I knew who sold it back then. The folks in this neighborhood only knew of one place to buy it and it sold out quick from what I heard. Our place still had plenty. As I told dh when he was moaning and groaning about this, God does watch out and provide for us... you just have to listen. Other than the little conveniences like TV and the internet, we got along just fine. His mother who lives one block over was heating with her gas stove but the pilot light went out or something
so she sent a neighbor over to get us last night and we brought her home to stay with us. So Christmas morning we were all here at my house. She had refused to leave her home till she had no heat.
We will be wrapping gifts here in a little bit to take to our friends and neighbors across the street, dh is at his mom's right now... she really wanted to get back to her own home. I can relate.
Well take care everyone and we'll talk again soon.
Anna
