I live in an apartment- style condo. We lose our hot water frequently and when we lose our hot water - our heat goes too :) They can't replace the boiler until spring for some odd reason.<br />My daughter thinks it's cool!

It therefore means EXACTLY what I was told it means! :-)<br /><br />Melody ~ I don't really have that option. While my neighbors are good people, if I randomly showed up and said, "Can I use your shower" I could see problems there...<br /><br />Milosc ~ Really, wasn't THAT bad...really. the human body can adapt.<br /><br />Suburbanbanshee ~ Why are Americans such wusses? MOST of the world doesn't have access to even cold purified water! What's a couple days of freezing-cold water that still remains available for for a shower, no matter how uncomfortable????<br /><br />It's fixed now, doesn't matter, but seriously, if people don't think cold water can be survived, they need to spend some time in the real world.<br /><br />All I wrote about here is inconvenience and discomfort.<br /><br />Dang. I have running water. I can't believe how many people have emailed and commented regarding this as though it is the end of the world.<br /><br />What is WRONG with us in America? Why is my lack of hot water such a magnet for sympathy? What's wrong with penance when something goes wrong?

I remember you talking about replacing the hot water heater not too long ago; I hope there's still some warranty left.<br />I think I'd be using my "call a friend" option; to borrow their shower for the next couple of days.<br />("light up the bomb" --maybe too appropriate if the pilot light had been out!)Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-84101782750924755942010-03-21T07:43:56.345-05:002010-03-21T07:43:56.345-05:00"Prende la bomba" means "turn on th..."Prende la bomba" means "turn on the pump" in second person imperative.
