That phrase comes up often enough to have an abbreviation everyone knows? Huh.

P.S. IANYL 'Duf. :D

Sort of - I see IANAL often enough (I am not a lawyer) but only it matters where people are discussing the law.

And I only now just realized that IANAL is "I ANAL"

LOL

:D

Guys...

It has been Bobak's rank for at least a year right?

This responsibility stands with the owners realtor, at the owners expense. Money will be taken out of the payment you make monthly for whatever repairs are needed.

You know what acronym I hate? SMH - when the fuck did that ever get popular?

Yeah, but it's hardly the only nonsensical custom rank around. At least, so I thought... Makes me wonder what the other ones I don't get mean.

DO NOT FUCK, with a gas furnace. Seriously man. I worked / repaired them for the last 4 years. Those PCB's are not field serviceable. Even if it's just a shot relay on the board, the service tech will replace the whole thing. Not worth blowing yourself up over.

Call the landlord and raise hell. Don't even tell them you poked around in the damn thing. Most states require a special license to even look at a furnace unit.

Totally agree, if the pcb's buggered best just leaving it.

Well, usually I love irony, but not so much in this case. Now my heater is out as of 3 days ago and I am fucking freezing. It's been in the low 40s at night, and this house holds in the cold like a motherfucker. Place never warms up, even in the middle of the day. Since I work from home, this is a problem. Even though it's been a manageable low to mid-60s outside, my thermostat informs me that the house is in the mid-50s at 12:00 noon.

Furnace people are coming towards the end of this week. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

This was a thread that deserved less than 5 replies.

But I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm enjoying it.

You got a couple screwdrivers? I'll walk you through troubleshooting and repair with a 25% success rate of not blowing yourself up.

In all seriousness. Hang in there, at least if you work from home you can dress like an absolute bum in 3 layers of sweatpants/shirts, order yourself some Snuggies and I know you'll make it through this.

Why would I remove 4 layers? I'm at 7 layers atm. Found my navy watch cap, too. So I've got 2 hats on. In a bit, I'm going to upgrade by adding parka with hood.

I remember several Halloweens in NY where you'd get all dressed up as whatever, then have to put on the snowsuit, boots, mittens, hat and so forth. I should have just gone as the kid from Christmas Story, but then... So was everyone else.

First off, I fail to see how this situation is ironic for you..... Unless you've misused the word. But surely that's not the case. The Kid never makes mistakes like that!

Second, buy a space heater. Even if it only takes the edge off, it's better than nothing.

P.S. I don't have a thermometer in here, but I bet the room I'm in right now is 60 degrees, max. It's the coldest room in my place -- for some reason it never heats up unless you turn the thermostat up so high the rest of the house is an inferno.

I just wear a sweater. It also helps that I'm a big guy -- I've noticed that the bigger you are, the less the cold seems to get to you.

The irony comes from me kind of taking lithy's plight a bit lightly. and then BAM, the universe says, "Your turn, Asshole."

AND HJOLYSHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! I NOW SEE THAT SPAC E HEATERS ONLY RUN BETWEEN $20-$50. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHTY ONE IN A SEVCOJF IF I KNEW THEY WWERE THAT CHEAP BUT NOW IT'S TOO LATE FOR TONIGHT BECAUSE ANYEHERE THWT WOULD SELL THEM IS CLOSED. CURSES. Typing errors are due to my fingers stiffening in the COLD. Fuck, I will definitely buy a space heater tomorrow along with a chain so I can hang it around my neck.
