The "Let it out" Thread

If the icoming power and gas freeze solid you're in trouble...sorry couldn't resist that.

Hope it gets better soon. Here any water pipe has to be buried 90cm (close to 3 feet) deep. You're save from 80cm ( 2.62 feet) downward no matter what weather outside. Well as far as I know.

You are very fortunate to have your Mom close by but how come she has water??
My parents live close by too but I think that if I don't have water, they will not have it either.
I am glad that you still have power and gas and I hope things will get defrosted real soon

[Frantic Freddie]

YAY,we have water!!!!

Yvonne,a combination of circumstances led to our line freezin' & not others includin' Mom's.

[Kzin]

Hooray!

[Yvonne]

for having water again

[Frantic Freddie]

Yep,sure is nice

It helped that we have about 40-50 gallons of containers & were able to get water.Me & the wife ain't "preppers",but we keep stuff around to weather emergencies.We live in a semi-rural area & could get snowed in for 2-3 days,it's happened before.

[Yvonne]

I have never experienced something like that before so for me not having water would be a problem.
I have food for about a week but if the water stops running then I am doomed

[Frantic Freddie]

Like I said,in almost 18 years this is the 1st time it's ever happened.

We get power outages in the summer,you'd think it'd happen more in the winter but we don't have ice storms,too dry here.We do have hellacious monsoon (mostly in July) storms though & lightning'll hit a transformer.For that I keep 2 of these charged up,one for my wife's CPAP & the other to run-of course-my computer As far as food we're kinda typical Americans in that we have 2 large refrigerators & a chest freezer,could probably feed us & several other people for a month or 2

When an English friend came to visit once he said our fridge was as big as his 1st apartment (flat)

Being avid campers too we have all kinds of stuff to survive natural disasters,not that we have many in our state,mostly flash floods (we're well above the floodplain so that's not a worry) & wildfires.We're 40 yards from the treeline,so should it catch on fire I'll be on my roof with both hoses keepin' it wet.

I was a Boy Scout & the wife was a Girl Scout & Explorer (the coed version of the BSA & GSA) so our motto is "Be Prepared".

and yes,bein' an American I also have numerous firearms for really serious problems,but I hope I would never have to use them that way

Well I've been on GH for quite awhile...but never really discussed much.
But there are some members, mostly the mods whom have been pretty awesome.
Anyways, my mom had ovarian cancer a couple years back and had to go through chemo.
We thought it was gone, but it came back and for awhile the doctors didn't know where it was.
Now they think it's in her bones. And my mom doesn't want treatment
And the doctors referred her to a hospice.
They are going to do scans to see if it is....I'm hoping and praying it's not there.
I really feel she needs a second opinion.
So it makes me more upset that she doesn't want to try...especially for my daughter who is 9.

I am so sorry
It s*cks that the cancer came back and if it is in her bones than that is not good news. I hope they find out what is wrong with your mom and that they can convince her to do a treatment.
I wish you and yours all the strength to go through this.
Big Hugs

...and if you need to rant and let it all out, we are here
