Billie, hoping your furnance gets fixed soon. Brrrr I cannot imagine how cold you must be.

I am sooooooo hungry today. Holding myself back from eating between meals but I am just not sure I will make it.

Oh Billie! Well hug Bear and your kitties and hope that your pastor can help somehow either by fixing it himself or knowing someone who can come ASAP! This is NO type of weather for this!

Nooooo, someone left lemon meringue pie outside my office. I am crumbling.

Someone save me...it smells so good

Oh no! Luckily that is one thing I can resist. I hate the meringue. BLAH! The rest sounds good.

My pastor came and brought grandola bars. I eat three! I was starving, so I thought. It is hard to resist once the temtation is there. He also got the furnace running. He still wants someone to check it tho. It has never quit since I turned it up. It must of been cold in here, even tho I had the gas heater on high. I can smell this furnace and I do wish he would come & check it. It just made a terrible noice when I turned it on. I think pastor put oil in some part of it.

Sorry to keep writting abouit it, but it has been a concern all day. I sure will get me another phone number after this. I even called this guy tonight and they don't answer. Where would anybody go at night when it is so cold like this? it's getting nice in here now. I hope it will shut down and not run all night.

did the pastor say anything about what might have been the problem?
if it was just the fan part making the noise? It probably has bearings where it spins so that could be what is making the noise- like when a wheel bearing goes out on a car - makes a horrible noise.
and if he oiled it that could be some of the smell.

Doesn't the furnace have a thermometer showing on the control panel or temp adjusting dial in the house?

sounds like that repair guy is unreliable and probably untrustworthy - I wouldn't give him any business if you can call someone else to come.

Anyone at the church have a handyman connection or name to recommend to you?

I still have a problem. The furnace isn't working right. It isn't putting out any hot air and now it won't shut off. I don't know what to do. I may call my pastor soon. I have it shut off and it just runs. No, there is no one to fix it here in this town. I'll have to call out....Only thing I know is call someone tomorrow.

Hi Billie, I would give it about 15 minutes and if it doesn't shut off call your pastor. Is there any way you could stay somewhere tonight so you wont be so cold? I worry about you because I have read about people freezing in their own homes because they couldn't pay for heat. If all else get Bear in bed with you and share some of his heat

Please take care and let us know...Sue

One more thing, is there a emergency number that can be called for the city for help. Here they have a number you can call for assitance for your heat or A/C unit. Is it a gas heater? The gas company here will do a free check and since your a senior citizen it should be put on an emergency basis. Not saying your old now but if ya got it why not use it Hope you find some help...Sue

Thanx Sue, I am not cold. I did call my pastor back and he had changed the blower switch to on instead of auto. So it has quit and Now it won't start back up on it's own. Pastor said he thinks I may need a new motor. My problems lie in the fact that my pipes could freeze. If they do so be it. In the morning I am calling someone else. No more of this. I thought the repairman was our friend and he didn't even call back. I tried again to get him & now the phone is busy. It doesn't surprise me. You never can get them & I know it is on purpose. I don't see how he has any business. He was good to me last Fall when I had trouble out at the farm tho.

Anyway Sue, don't worry, my family room can be set on 80. I am use to sleeping in there for I don't like the total electric heat here in IN. I had a big tank put in last Fall and it is full. I will be ok. I do have an electric blanket if I have to go to bed. I even sleep on the floor sometimes with Bear right beside me. It is my favorite room and is the bigest in the house. It even has water in it. (A wet bar really!) Don't worry about me.

Yes, I am a senior citizen, but I never heard of having a place to call for an emergency. I live in a small town.

Hey, it just started blowing on it's own. Praise the Lord!
