This cracks me up. I remember when on freezing cold days, my former neighbor's sons were all out with just their shirts, no jackets. I would tell them to put coats on, and they'd give me this "poor woman, she doesn't get boys" look, and go right on doing whatever while I'd shiver on their behalf...

I hope they were jackets yesterday....

Re blow dryer and frozen pipes. Plumber told me to keep the dryer moving aver the length of the pipe to thaw it slowly. Otherwise the pipes can burst. He also said not to prop the blow dryer and leave it running without supervision. They can start fires.

Why do I know this? Our shower pipes were almost frozen-water only trickled out. When I called the plumber, this is what he told me. We put a heater on near the (inside) wall on the other side of the bathroom. That thawed the pipes BH. Because the plumber couldn't come to us this week at all-too many people with no heat that he had to go to first.

I unfroze my pipes once. This was the instructions that a very busy plumber shared with me.

I drained the water that was in the sink by disconnecting the pipes under the sink. I reconnected the pipes. I poured alot of salt (1/3 of a bottle, I took out my pesach stash) into the drain of the sink. Boiled a pot of water and poured that into the sink. Let it sit for a while.

I did this entire process twice and it worked. Once the water started draining, I had my hot water running for a bit.

I tried placing a plug in heater under my sink, but that did nothing.
