My husband says that since our oven and hot water heater are working
fully, that is a sign there is nothing wrong with the wires coming into
the house. Also, our neighborhood did not lose power.

Gosh, I so appreciate the offer! We're in Seattle, though,
unfortunately.

Thank you!

Well, since 700,000 people lost power there last week due to the storms, have you taken
anyone's advice to call the utility company?

We do know where the fuse box is, it's on the back porch. We don't know
if an electrician changed the box, if he could put the new one on the
back porch.

Electricians cost so much! My husband just keeps saying, "We're
screwed, we're screwed, we're screwed."

He's suffering from severe depression and spends most of his time in
bed. I am forced to try and handle things I am just not equipped to
handle.

Anyway, Christmas was great because all my kids were here.

Thank you, and all of you, for your help!

I have several family members with chronic depression, so I have some
appreciation for the challenges that it produces.

Maybe I can come have a look, if you're anywhere near Indianapolis.
