Brian Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I've had a sore throat for about 3 days but keep popping meds to hold off anything big. Still cancelled my dentist appointment today because of it. Edited January 9, 2015 by Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 08:46 AM) And my generation has officially become those old people that complain how much harder they had it. My Facebook feed is filled with "Schools never closed when we were young, these kids are so spoiled!" I think part of it is that 30 years ago there was typically at least one parent at home to take the kids to school. So it didn'the matter how cold it got. I don't even think my grade school had buses. Now both parents work and they don't want kids standing at a bus stop getting frostbite.

All it took was for a few kids to be injured, and a lot of parents complaining about having their kids forced to walk in the snow, forced to go out, risking frostbite. When did it change to where a kid brings home a report card with low grades and the parents come to the school to chew out the teacher?

When did it change to where a kid brings home a report card with low grades and the parents come to the school to chew out the teacher? it is still not the responsibility of the school, it is the parents to make sure that the kids are dress properly. here in LA, it is cold maybe 2 or 3 weeks out of the yr. these kids doesn't not have any winter cloths on. the parents b****es about the kids having to go school improperly to school. however these are the same kids who wear $200 gym shoes, $400 designer jackets. how bout buying some winter boots and a winter jacket? now for the rpt card, a totally different animal there for another discussion.

StrangeSox Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Definitely. It's the ignitor, so at least I was able to start it with a grill lighter and it's warming up in here. What a pain in the ass that you can't just buy replacement parts yourself, though. If Home Depot etc. carried parts, I'd have this thing fixed already. Instead, I've got to call an HVAC company, have them come out and "diagnose" what I've already figured out, try to sell me a bunch of other services and ultimately charge me probably $150 for a part that can't cost more than $10 to replace myself.

You can buy most parts online. I had a similar issue with a heat sensor last year. 2 dollar part that I replaced in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
