I was recalling how a few years ago, corn cob stoves were the rage one year ( there was a vendor at local fair getting lots of foot traffic) before the price of corn went up when some people were finding ethanol cheaper than regular gasoline for their DIY altered engines (cars, tractors). Anyone using a wood burning stove at least can still heat the house but likely has to have a professional vouch for its safety too.
Today I reminded Mom that we won't have hot water, stove/oven (have an electric toaster oven) and home heat.She believes we will have gas.
To show you what can happen with gas shutoffs, I will post article links that informed how pricey getting gas restored can be if the shutoff occurs:
When there is a heating issue not repaired in time and the water lines break and money is tight:
What’s frustrating is that Union Gas has the authority to come into your home and shut off the gas to your furnace, knowing you are receiving a disability pension, and yet there is nothing to force Union Gas to immediately release that surplus so you can get your furnace repaired and turned back on.Union Gas has told me they have company standards and they must be followed; there is nothing to allow me access to that money within 24 hours.
Well, winter is now here and I have been without heat for a week now. My next expense will be fixing broken waterlines, and all because of red tape and money issues that could have been resolved if Union Gas would immediately release the surplus money from my account.
For those who fall behind on payments with their gas supplier, look at what the $$$ charges will be with reconnection:
But once the disconnection has happened, the customer must pay their entire balance in full, plus a reconnection fee before the natural gas or power begins to flow again to the home, she said.Customers who have been reconnected must also pay a deposit of several hundred dollars.
“That deposit is refundable after a certain period of time in which payments have been re-established, so you’ve re-established a good payment history,” Stass said.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

@wendymac -thanks for the link! I know generally about such a program in Hamilton for low income residences. Recently there was a limit put on one Ontario funded program for Hamilton that helped individuals beyond rent/heating payments as the fund was almost out of funds but it has to be accessible until March 31.
The issue is that Dad does not see the point of safety requirements that cost him money. If it was not for the meter having to be changed due to request via Measurement Canada, the matter would have been delayed until the furnace needed repair or something else prompted a gas technician's visit.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

Busy morning here. I had turkey out for dinner only to recall the teen works tonight. Sunday dinners are a big deal in our house but now we miss most of them as Sunday evening seems to be a regular shift. So changed my plans and we are going to have Sunday lunch. It works because DH is coming home from Edmonton today and Logan's lacrosse game is later so a nice chance to reconnect. I have also been busy posting stuff. I have several things I am just giving away and they seem more work than selling. It's some glass things that I could take to VV but I am afraid they will break and be useless.
Ciel: it's a shame you dad is not taking the gas issues seriously. The consequences could be disastrous.
Angela: people can be such morons, karma will cycle up with them. I had some hit my new cr when it was less than a month old in the GO train lot. The damage was a scratched bumper that I never fixed because it was not worth the insurance but it annoys me whenever I see it.Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

Afternoon everyone,
Supper tonight is homemade fried rice & sweet n' sour chicken, we ate already, I have 2 containers put away for dh's lunch and 1 small chicken container for ds2s lunch.
I need to work on my meal plan for the week.
I have some bananas that need to be used up so I'm hoping to do some baking tomorrow.
The window trim & door trim are on in ds1's room. A few paint touch-ups need to be done and then we can put the curtain rod, I still need to buy some blackout curtains shortly in the next little while
Anyone want to share there meal plan, I could use some new ideas.
Wishing everyone a great night
@Ciel is there any way that your brother cold flip the bill to have things fixed before they cut gas?2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

Husband did shopping - was so glad to get extra lean ground beef at Co-op for 6.59/kg. There was a limit of two, so may go back during the week to get more. They were out of 600g bags of frozen blueberries, so got a raincheck for that.
I've been prepping for supper, son will come over soon so I just wanted a break on the computer for a bit. Making a big meal of smothered porkchops, smashed potatoes, coleslaw, and peas.
Have a great evening, everyone!
