And that's why I'm still stuck in the 70's music-wise!

Not your average run of the mill day around here. Smelled gas in my enclosed front porch, called in the hotline number and they sai I had to leave immediately, not even hang up the phone and don’t turn on or off any switches. Dressed grabbed the dog and we sat in my car till the emergency crew arrived. Extremely scary. When they arrived checked the house etc. House ok but there was a leak in the main gas line. They called in more trucks and eventually fixed it. When they tried to relight furnace they found another problem. Now waiting once again for the next repairman. Will be here between Noon and 8 PM. Very thankful for their prompt service

I'm in the sooner boom. Terriamn I kind of had the same thing happen to me except that I came home (through the garage doors) turned off my security alarm and smelt gas in the house. I called the hot line and they came out. They said I was lucky that my house didn't explode from the heater kicking on as I was opening the garage doors, turning on the lights and turning off the security system. Come to find out one of my dogs stood up at the counter next to the stove and accidently pushed in on of the knobs and turned it as they were getting down. From that day on, my poor fur babies are locked in the laundry room when I'm not home.

Queenbarbie for sure you were lucky. My garage isn’t attached so I was able to use the opener and move car around front.

This past few days has been dramatic here in Okie land too. We have a good friend vacationing in Mexico City. He has been posting all kinds of fun pics. He posted he was on the roof of the apt (air b and b) for the eclipse, then nothing after that until about 5 pm and there was a post about him being robbed and drugged and then nothing. The post said he had to go to the local apple store just to make that post. Nothing about the post seemed like him at all. The wording and way it was written just seemed off. NO ONE had heard from him, not his local (in Mexico City) family or State side family or even his best friend. Air b and b was trying to locate the apt owner to find out if he was okay. Anyway a very tense 1.5 days and have found out this afternoon he is infact okay. He was drugged and robbed and the post was real, but he is okay and on the way home!!!!!

My father is in the hospital, just found that out a couple of hours ago, they are doing all kinds of tests. Don't know what it going to become of that yet.

Tomorrow I have to take Gary for an out patient procedure. (nothing dangerous) So not sure when I am going to get to make the 80 mile drive to check on my father. I just couldn't today I was way too tired from the long night of worrying about our friend in Mexico City.

Kass, so glad to read that your friend has been found and is on his way back home. Can't even begin to imagine the ordeal he has been through the past couple of days.

Hope everything will be fine with Gary and your father, positive thoughts coming your way for both of them.

Boy Kass so glad your friend is ok and is on his way home. Sending positive thoughts and prayers for your father and Gary

Kass, my well wishes for Gary, your Dad and your friend are also with all of you. So glad your friend is okay and I hope your Dad will be too. I know Gary will be in very capable hands when you get him back home. You have enough on your plate right now. ((((((Hugs))))))

Terri, that would have scared the bejeebers out of me! I am so glad the situation was not as awful as it certainly could have been. Somebody up there is looking out for you.

Wow! Some really close calls. I’m glad everyone is ok.
