[QUOTE=matese;4820212]Jeanieeeeee,
I've been so worried about our YT Texas friends, I'm almost ashamed to moan about my mere 3 1/2 feet (total month so far) snow after hearing how Texas got slammed with loss of power. What an ordeal that was for all of Texas.
So HAPPY to see you're ok and pulled through it (((HUGS)))
Oh, thank you for caring but we're all mostly okay, though many are still struggling with getting burst pipes fixed, ruined ceilings, walls, flooring flooded from burst pipes! So many parts, etc. are on back order so they just mark time until the work can get done! Apparently power plant owners didn't "winterize" as they should have after 30 years of relatively mild winters and then we got slammed - so heads have rolled so to speak at Ercot, our power administrating agency.
But the title of this thread "If I could have one thing right now...." last week it would have been an hour lights & heat every 6 hours or so! I mean I didn't want to be a hog but you can get pretty cold and kinda spooked after 2 days of no heat, lights or anything! A warm hotel room with working lights and hot food was such a dream-come-true! Apparently all of the hotels and motels were taken so I was so grateful Dan found me a room. Yesterday, it was so warm we could have turned on the fan!
