Today, I woke up on the coldest morning of the year to discover that the gas fireplace has run out of propane, and there is no water because the pipes are frozen. While trying to locate the frozen pipe, I forgot to let the dog out, and she peed on the carpet. FML

YDI for being a bitch letting your dog stay out in such a cold weather.
And YOU #10! Don't complain about #9 who is complaining about #3 who is complaining about #1 and actually write something.

I feel your pain, the cold is horrible.

#19 It was 17 F here last night, which in South Carolina, is COLD.

I agree. I'm in Alaska and haven't been above single digits in a month. These things happen to people who aren't familiar with the cold and is totally avoidable.
-8C froze your pipes after a few hours without heating? Do you live in a paper house? Does your home not have a door?

#23, we most certainly do have a gas fireplace than runs on propane :) Most of them do in this part of the country. Others may run on natural gas, but it's not available here.
Thank you. Now I don't regret reading these comments. :)

In places where natural gas isn't a common thing many people call propane fireplaces gas fireplaces. Even in places where its not a bitch to get a gas line put in, people will refer to a propane fireplace as a gas fireplace on occasion.

Is one of these one that are worded so that they happened today when actually it's just because FML makes you write "Today"? Because if it's not, then it's only the 3rd day of the year. But I'm doubting that, so I will say FYL.

#10 don't complain to #9 who is complaining to #3 who is complaining to # 1 and comment

Move somewhere where its not cold during winter, stop whining, YDI loser

That sucks. I live in CT. it's been around 5 degrees all week with the wind chill and snowing on and off for four days.
FYL for no heat and no water and pee in your carpet :(
So which is it? A gas fireplace or a propane fireplace? I'll have to agree your life is f\/ck3d if you can't tell the difference between the two, don't know to keep the thing in fuel, and don't have enough presence of mind to watch a weather report to keep water dripping so it won't freeze the pipe, or, take care of your dog's needs. How did you ever master getting this far on the computer? Do I have to type that it's a rhetorical question?
#43 - On 01/03/2010 at 8:27pm by Joceannora
at lest the dog didn't run out of pee nor did it freeze:/
#45 - On 01/03/2010 at 9:16pm by GiRIsMakingCupca
I hear that North Carolina runs some pretty harsh winters. I never recall it being cold enough to snow, no less freeze your pipes. -.-
#46 - On 01/03/2010 at 10:14pm by tacoman007
I call BS. I highly doubt that having a fireplace shut off for a few hours caused your house to get cold enough to freeze water pipes, especially since the OP lives in South Carolina.
#51 - On 01/03/2010 at 11:19pm by hailster17
their pipes didnt freeze because their house was cold..they froze because it was one of the coldest days this year..and just because they live in south carolina that doesn't mean its not cold, my cousin lives there and told me the low temp for tonight is 20 degrees..that may not be cold to people who live up north but thats cold enough for things to freeze
#54 - On 01/03/2010 at 11:57pm by alissanicole
And being in South Carolina means that the house is not insulated for the cold and that it is imperative the pipes remain above freezing temperature by actual heat such as the fireplace, it doesn't exactly take forever for water to freeze. The pipes may well have frozen even with the heater if it is really cold, trust me it happened at my parent's house when I was in highschool. Really lame night involving water, space heaters and blow dryers blugh.
I'm sorry OP pipes freezing sucks always. The dog thing sucks too but that's your fault for either ignoring it too long or training your dog horribly.

The funniest part about this for me is that I live in California, and I've been wearing shorts and t-shirts because it's around 70 degrees here. :D

FYL for all but the last. YDI for keeping an animal around the house. You probably knew it was gonna do that sooner or later. It isn't just misfortune.
YDI, freezing pipes are easily preventable. Just be glad they didn't rupture and flood your house.
#57 - On 01/04/2010 at 1:19am by RuralNinja
I'm pretty sure propane is a gas... but what would I know?
I live in sunny FLORIDA! haha. 52 degrees today.
#58 - On 01/04/2010 at 1:31am by hobsonbrendan
That isn't that cold.. while working in Saskatoon last year it dipped past -45C and we've gone below -50C in my hometown with wind chill.
lol yeah
today was -25 degrees but i hve it easy, im in ontario, the warm part of canada LOL!
#70 - On 01/04/2010 at 4:37pm by mathman101
how is it the coldest day of the year, if the year JUST started...
#65 - On 01/04/2010 at 6:13am by garrowthesparrow
Then it isn't exactly that hard is it?
Comparisons can be made on any size dataset, though its significance is another matter.
YDI. all of that couldve been prevented by u in the first place.
1. keep an xtra tank of propane.
2. winterize ur pipes.
3. train ur dumb dog.
4. try not failing nxt time.
