I realized that my pilot light had gone out last night. I turned the heater up to 74 and nothing happened. I was really upset. I was cold. I hate being cold. I'm cold all day at work, the last thing I want is to be cold at home. I called PG&E, and the first appointment they had was on November 4. You know how bad that is? My mom comes home on the 1st for a week. She hates being cold more than I do. So, I did the only thing I could think of... I went over and asked my neighbour if he would light my pilot. And he did. Just like that. The last time I tried to light my own pilot light, I burned my hair. Not a lot, but I never want to have that happen again. My sisters ex-husband got burned too... Worse than I did. My neighbour just did it. He just lit it. No big deal. No fire ball, no insane flames, just an easy light. Why can't I do that?
