[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 132476, member: 1697"] wow, thats so great she did not turn any lights on till the porch!!!!!!! Several years ago, there were a few houses in the town next to me that all had natural gas explosions all within a few blocks of each other, all within say 2 weeks? It prompted some mass fear for awhile. One time, when I was maybe 17 or so.I went to our vacation home, a trailer house in Indiana. it was midwinter......and I wante to cook in the gas oven. I had to light the pilot..... One second I was lighting a match, the next I was across the room picking my singed self of the floor. Aside from singed eyelashes and eyebrows and hair on my arms, I was unhurt, a miracle. For some reason, dummy me turned the gas on before I struck the match. Maybe 15 years ago we needed a new hot water heater. We had no money, so I told husband he HAD to do it himself, in spite of him not being the least handy. Yikes, he got the new one in and was getting ready to light the pilot, and I happened to walk past. I could smell the gas so strong.......darned water heater is in basement.......I was upstairs (and if I remember, gas SINKS?) It was just coincidence I had walked past and smeelled. (I stay far away when he is "working" cuz he is nasty when he works) I stopped him. We wound up flipping off the elc etc and sleeping in our car 2 full days with the babies......becuz the smell was not going away. I finally broke down (I did not know the gas co would come for free) and called gas co. They came and finally cleared our house for us to go back in. Thank you for your kind worsds. LOL, I stayed home today, no being out and about for me today. Thank goodness there was nowhere I had to go......it was nice to just spend the day here. QUIETLY! LOL. Tomorrow, tho I hafta take easy child to a choir comp 3 hours away. I will try to make sure no weird events occur in my vicinity, tho. :-) [/QUOTE]
