Important public service announcement.
 

1. If you live somewhere it very, very rarely gets cold. Remember, that means it does still get cold sometimes.

2. If you live somewhere it does get cold sometimes, it's not a good idea to let your gas tank get towards empty.

3. Especially so far towards empty the vehicle won't start again.

4. Especially on the night when it gets COLD for a change.

5. When you point out to the friend looking at it that the lines may be frozen and he goes to check, make sure to remind him that frozen fuel lines are brittle.

6. Don't laugh too hard when the line snaps off in his hands.

7. This is, however, a cheap way to get new fuel lines. Oh, they should be all thawed out too.

Sounds like first hand experience to me!

RECENT first hand experience!:santathumb

At least I'm laughing now! I know exactly what the problem is. My van is missing a fuel line. lol Hopefully that was the whole problem or I might cry again. *sigh*

I've never, ever run out of gas before. I make it a point to never get low on gas in the winter. Until, you know, last night.

i am having van trouble....

For some reason I don't think you have the same problem I do. :rudolph

I really wish I could send the money you need to fix that Sister. Someday, I hope to have money to go around.

Ok now I'm not quite so amused. It didn't get warm enough today to thaw the lines. This means I'm stuck here for another day. I really don't want to be stuck here...I'm lonely. I haven't talked to my baby in almost 48 hours, maybe he'll call tonight, but maybe I'll go almost crazy waiting for him to call.

I just wanna go out and do something, anything.

awwwwwwww. Ya gonna make me cry.

That's almost what I feel like doing! I miss my bigger kids, but my baby's never been away from me overnight before.

Gah. I had plans last night, and this morning, and maybe tomorrow morning..and had to cancel all of them. To stay home. Alone. There is church tomorrow night, I'll find a ride from someone if I need to.

It's gonna get real ugly if I run out of toilet paper!

leaves.. newspaper...
