This thread brings back waayyy too many memories to put here.....
One of the "fond" memories I have growing up is when we lived in a rental house that was heated with fuel oil....that darn thing would always pick the best time to run empty...in the middle of the night.......there would be five of us kids huddled under one blanket with the hair dryer running and passing around the heating pad......Sure makes one appreciate the warm bed I have now
