being pulled out of the house the next morning, both in a near-death condition, but amazingly they both survived. The gas tank had been about half-full. Not recommended.

People here should not freeze in the winter, but when I think of all of those churches and their associated buildings that are heated yet empty most of the time I wonder, what would Jesus do?

using gas just diggs you further in the hole financially. The price of gas is so high it wouldn't take many gallons to exceed the cost of reconnecting the electricity.

Still, the guy was a fucking idiot. I find it hard to believe that anyone could live to be in their 40's and not know that you're going to fucking die if you run a damn generator in your house - and die a hell of a lot sooner than you would have from just being cold too.

A mom and her two kids, dirt fucking poor, who died because they couldn't even afford a proper house with an electrical hookup. They were heating the inside of their "house" with charcoal, they knew it was dangerous but had no better options open to them and figured they'd be okay with the windows cracked a bit. One cold night all three fell asleep and not a one of them woke up the next morning....
