[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 195250, member: 1697"] OK, now, Good morning, LOL. Actually, I guess it was quite a spell we were without the water- I think PCs gas incident was the first of Sept? The water heater went then. But water heater has no seperate shutoff valve (It DOES now! LOL) Got the waterheater and had water on for a day, and realized there were leaks, - cuz they bumped the pipes doing water heater. We gathered a supply to hold us of precious water and turned it off. ALas, our plumber began the work, and had a crisis. In the middle of the job. Midway thru, we turned water on again for a few hurs, and someone else came to step in for our plumber and broke the pipes entirely. ACK. SO off the water went again, altho that time, we did not have a chance to gather enough water. Thinks went downhill from there. PCs boyfriend brought us water daily for some uses here....it helped a lot. And my presentation? LOL is on Emergency Preparedness. Our home emergency preparedness, our evacuation preparedness and our "plan" The kids had teased me as had some "friends" over my "preparedness kit" over the years.....parts of it did come in handy for this silly mess. Yes, we have a LOT of bottled water everywhere around, in many forms, in jugs, single serve bottles and spray bottles, even in our cars- "for an emergency" LOL. Our little water crisis helped my kids look at the whole emergency preparedness a little differently, LOL. Fran, you were on my mind while I watched Ike. There was murmurs of dispatchng us to go thre after, and we still might. But right now there are more murmurs of us being used here for our local flooding crisis. Im sending you good thoughts. Oh an we do have some exciting things on the horizon, easy child is supposed to find out soon if this is a boy or girl she is haveing. :-) Right after me and our son get back in from a road trip to eye dr. (provided the flooding recedes some, right now I doubt we can get thru) She REALLY wants to know if it is boy or girl. So, like I said, all is right here in my little corner of the world. :-) and it sure is a pretty day outside today.
