My father, Jack of all trades, wanted sons.... He got 4 daughters. (And one son)

What was the thermostat on, your car i'm guessing? I've done a few car thermostats myself and it's a fairly involved job so good on ya!

It want not hard. I did have to vac the furnace and start pilot if that counts. I still have one zone not coming on..., I think it's the wiring. Most likely on the control panel. Tomorrows quest.

Hahaha it never ends does it! Good for you on the fix and best of luck with the rest.

I'm cheap- so I try n do what I can... You know call my father/YouTube. Lol.

She still called the repair man because she didn't trust my handy work.

5 kids... how anyone manages that I have no idea!! :p

Hehe :p It's hard work but they're worth it.

good for you Coolermommy.

You do have a basketball team.

[image deleted]Also, how is it like having siblings? I'm an only child and will forever be one... ;v;

We still fight. And we are 35 to 44 yrs. old. But I guess have sisters is pretty awesome.

Bet their pretty cool.
Y'know, you'd be surprised how embarrassing it is to be an only child. I remember, especially in younger years of schooling, one of the main things they used to categorize students for projects was "How many siblings do you have/Do you have a sibling?". All of the students would raise their hand saying that they had at least one sibling. Then there would be me, having to awkwardly explain that I do not have a sibling and then getting shocked looks from the other students and being bombarded by questions about what is was like to NOT have a sibling.

The only child has it perks too... My bestie is and her husband is.... And they have such a small family, the kids have no first cousins. I have 10 niece/nephews just from my siblings.

I never even meet most of my family in person. I know I have 4 first cousins from my fathers side, and I only met one I person. However my mother isolated herself from her family, so I only ever met my second cousin Chad from her side.
It's also pretty lonely being a first child, you kinda learn to live with being isolated in your own world, however you will crave the attention of others. In order to get the human interaction I so dearly desired and rarely ever received from my family, I resorted to spending half my life on the computer interacting with other users. Also, I know that sometimes if your an only kid your parents put all the pressure on you to do good and live up to all their expectations (luckily this never happened to me, as I put too much pressure on myself. Instead my parents had to calm me down so I wouldn't freak out over something minor like a bad grade).
Though I do admit that only child does have it's perks. Like for example, parents will get you almost anything you ask for (within reasons of course). My parents are currently planning on getting costume parts for me to play Ruby Rose from RWBY, nearly 2 days after I mentioned I wanted to be her next Halloween. Another one is that they can easily manage all your health and school records.
[Sorry for this being so long, I'm very in depth when describing emotions XD]

This fixes most problems :-)
Good job replacing your thermostat. I hate being cold and tonight we have a freeze warning for Delaware.

Or was it the starter? I was 16, my dad was going to get all the mileage he could out of that part.

Yup. Did the same.

I miss Johnny

I don't really watch any more, but Fallon seems to be the best overall, but I really like some of Kimmel's skits (his youtube challenges, "This Week In Unnecessary Censorship").

A bit before my late night tv.

And thus I find out Coolermommy is much younger than I. No Johnny? Wow. I guess I just assumed that was a cultural milestone shared by all.

40. That isn't s secret here.

Guess not. I somehow remember that now. I'm 50. Oy.

My cultural milestone was Friends finally

Ach. Such a babe in swaddling clothes. :)

Hey Coolermommy, how's it been going? Take a look: imgflip.com/i/1dgrba

What Johnny did so well was get from his guests what you wanted to see from them at that time.

After Johnny Carson quit, I was never much for late night tv anymore!

I'm betting it was your starter...if the solenoid is sticking, you can hit it with something and knock it loose.

That's what is was. Cylinder thing? I just remember leaving work and having to get my little hammer out when the car wouldn't start.

Yep! Big cylinder with a little cylinder on the side...the big one is the starter, the little one is the solenoid!

Basic model....the old round.. I can commit to a temperature schedule.

Sigh, it appears the downvote fair is still at work.

I've always wanted one of the electronic ones, but it's always just the analog ones with a stick or one of the round ones.

Can't*

That sucks...maybe?

I can't commit to the heat. :)
I'm sure I can have one, all the thermostats are on small walls tho. It's a very old house, over 100 yrs old. There's lots of odd things about it.

dam u should be proud of ur self

Thanks? And please, do introduce yourself.
