Because here in glamorous NYC I've had to boil more baths than I care to admit. But mine were due to my bastard landlord refusing to send in a boiler repairman. Or emergency oil delivery. Etc. I hope the gas is on tomorrow. I can deal with heat, but no heat, no hot water?

You're so right, Libe...Yikes is right, Dr. MVM.<br />You're so right, Liberality. We've been testing our mettle. 2 weeks ago it was water, this week the gas...let's just hope we don't get to see what it's like to be without phones or electricity next week.<br />TomCat, yuck! And if it gets to 100 here, I'd look forward to the refreshing briskness of a cold one.<br />Randal, that would help immensely.<br />Thank you, Sherry. I definitely try to approach these rough patches like little comedy sketches. It's that or stick my head in the oven when the gas is turned back on.<br />Meleah, I have days like that. I delayed the shower today out of dread not busyness.<br />kkryno!!! Yes!!! and brrr.<br />Kulkuri - That sounds like a decent backup plan. Our neighbors can suck it.<br />Pagan, thank you.

Get a solar shower rig and after the sun heats it hang it from a tree. Just make sure it's where the neighbors can't see you. Wouldn't want to shock them, then again, why not??Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-66073206051332455142010-05-18T15:16:38.606-04:002010-05-18T15:16:38.606-04:00Invigorating!Invigorating!kkrynohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727264476742817993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-14026976646936494412010-05-18T14:30:51.839-04:002010-05-18T14:30:51.839-04:00I haven't had any time to even take a shower y...I haven't had any time to even take a shower yet today! <br /><br />And yes, I have to agree with you, Coca Cola is WAY better than Pepsi!meleah rebeccahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08116656129112106780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-49308710668401070752010-05-18T14:13:22.634-04:002010-05-18T14:13:22.634-04:00Sounds fairly miserable Lisa.
