If you know what heat is and like it, well we do too!
This last month our furnace went out and being the
poor College type we did what was cheap.

This is the divider that kept the heat in either place.
It works really well.....really.


We borrowed one of these heater from our friends
First from our friends the Dykens and we would move it in the morning
to the Living room then at night to the hall between the Bedrooms

Then we borrowed two from the Holmgrens, we would turn one
on during the day in the front and the other on in the back for sleeping.
Well that was fine until the snow.....brrrrr.
I caved in and called BRAG to see if they could come and look at it.
They come and check things based on income, so.... for us free

This was why our furnace wasn't working.
You see that red dot, it's a reset button a safety feature.
This little thing was the reason for no heat all month.
So in the end the person who came out reset the button and
presto-chango
HEAT

This is a true story.

I work part-time as a teacher of family doctors. The program provides training on psychiatric disorders and emphasizes the importance of emotional support. The new doctors are given plenty of time in clinic to visit with their patients and learn about their challenges.

One of our interns who has never lived in Utah and knew nothing about Mormons is still struggling to understand the cultural climate here. Last week he was interviewing a new patient and stumbled on what he thought was a raging psychosis.

Doctor: "Well, Mrs. Olsen, we've talked about your high blood pressure and your medications. Are you experiencing any particular stress in your life?"

Patient: "Oh, yes! It's the Sunbeams. They're driving me crazy."

Doctor: (very surprised) "The Sunbeams?"

Patient: "Yes, I've never had trouble with them before, but this group of Sunbeams won't settle down. They bounce all over the room, and run out the door and up and down the hallway.

Doctor: (reaching for a pen) "Have you told anyone about this?

Patient: "Of course, I told the president."

Doctor: Really! And, what did the president tell you?"

Patient: "The president said Sunbeams are like that. I'm just going to have to learn to deal with them."

Doctor: (concerned that he may be missing something) "I know people who are sensitive to sunbeams. Do they cause you a rash or anything?"

Patient: (confused) "A rash? No."

Doctor: "What's the problem they're creating?"

Patient: "It's the noise. They just won't quit talking."

Doctor: (astonished) "The sunbeams are talking to you?"

Patient: "Well, yes. But mostly they talk to each other."

Doctor: (scribbling furiously in the chart) "I see. Can anyone else hear them talking?"

Patient: (after a moment of stunned silence) "You're not LDS, are you
