Priceless - Gas Stove Leak - What Happened - Recovered - 25/640
I was able to order one of these at a special price. #priceless. :)
Yesterday
I discovered I had a gas leak. Today I discovered it was from my gas stove. They did come out yesterday and check everything and fix a couple leaks. I did sleep with the window open. This morning I shut it and and maybe about 10 minnutes later detected a gas smell. Consumers Energy came out and checked everything including the gas stove again and we fixed one of the previous leaks again and now I can probably not shut off my gas at one of the shutoffs. Apparently if it is loose enough to turn it may leak. He also tagged a very minor leak. I was thinking maybe I had gas coming from the furnace since the stove checked out fine so we tried that and nothing really. Maybe 1 ppm from the vents which is not bad. I figured maybe I needed a new furnace though and maybe it was just not starting up well since the stove checked out fine. He went outside to his van to leave and I went back inside. I think after about 1 or 2 minutes I was about 3 or 4 feet from the stove and I smelled it again. He came back in and found nothing. I told him something like: This is crazy and maybe I am going nuts. I think he said something like it was probably just the filter on my refrigerator. I think he was about ready to give up but he did eventually move his sensor very close to one of the burners and got a very tiny reading. He then opened up the top of the stove and finally there was some small readings. I think he said maybe i needed to clean the burners and offered to turn off the stove. I figured I would be OK since I had the window open and it was a very small leak. Probably about 10 or 20 minutes later I did smell it again and shut off my stove.
I think what had happened is I had been "battling it out" on Steemit which may have elevated my brain function and senses and then @rubencress was able to make a comment that would successfully trigger me even more and cause me to quickly go for a walk and give me even more things to think about from his website and a art and a Youtube [video]( which have helped elevate my senses even more and also help my sense of smell and I was able to smell the natural gas when I opened the door.
I think I have recovered but will probably still leave a window open at least one more day. I think fresh air does help indoor air quality. I have a feeling my gas stove may have been leaking for years. :(
I'd show a pic but the art is way prettier. lol I think I will post a pic of my new stove when I get it.
I did also find another gas leak in my neighborhood. I figured Consumers would not find it. It turns out they did. I smelled it from about 50 feet away and it was coming from under the ground. I guess it is still leaking since now I can smell it from a few feet away. I think they are coming out to fix it some more though. It is weird though because the gas or additive at levels below 1PPM does seem to have an impact on me. I feel dazed when I smell it.
I also feel that I have #recovered. :)

Where will you put it?
Living room directly in front of my couch. Is it OK if I use a small bot. I think they are legal. lol
Then you can dream of living in such a place :)
#exactly lol And maybe be a better #mastermind. lol
I guess I might need to get a passport and #travel.
Flagged for bid bot abuse @steemflagrewards
I think you made a #mistake. Did you read this post?
Yes, I read the post. Sorry to hear about your gas troubles and elevated brain cognition's.
There is no mistake. I disagree with your use of bid bots and nothing more.
Have a nice day.
I do enjoy having elevated brain functions although I am now extremely sensitive to natural gas.
I think bidbots can be a useful asset to the platform as shown by this interaction.
I respectfully disagree, but everyone is entitled to an opinion.
I'm happy the elevated brain functions are treating you well.
Are you even going to downvote #prettyplant? lol
I think I'll start waiting like 24 hours to send in the #militia / #bots lol
No, I'm not going to downvote your pretty plant post @mysearchisover,
In fact, I'm not going to downvote anything of yours again.
Best wishes to you.
Awe. #truelove lol I'm #hetero though although I might be a "bit" of a #troll at times. LMAO
#thanks

And you ordered quite a big one! I can't wait to see how it will end up. An open window is always great. It's interesting how things go.
You took the pic? #buyfirstaskquestionslater lol
#gobigorgohome. lol
Is it OK if I use a bot so this vote counts?
I wouldn't buy a vote. It is a it is, right? Yep, i took that photograph :)
I'm not sure that I need to buy votes but I will probably continue to do so in support of others who do need to. I will not buy one on your comment so I guess my upvote will be wasted. :(
Was it as nice as the video makes it look?
In reality it looks absolutely incredible, no footage could do justice to the real thing. Paris is a city that you have to see with your own eyes.
This ad recently popped up for me on Youtube. I think I will probably apply for permission to travel. I am allowed to go to Canada and Mexico right now but I am not allowed to fly out of my country.

I am glad you are okay. I had the same thing when walking my dog a couple of times. I smelled gas and called the gas company and they came out and check the locations I noted the smell was coming from. I think it is time they do some serious upgrading of their pipe lines as this makes five leaks on our street in the last few years with three of those being out front of my house. Usually what it is is the clamp that connects two pipes together in the ground having rusted and rotted away, they now use some sort of membrane material to replace old metal connections. I also one time had a small leak coming from the furnace piping where there was a connector. The gas company came out and said the screw holding the connector onto the pipes was bad. I turned off the furnace and used some JB Weld over the screw until I had the furnace repair guy fix it before winter. I wasn't in a hurry as I was not using it at the time, only the pilot was still lite so I just turned it off and fixed the leak just in case. If I remember right it was like a hundred twenty five bucks to fix it but it was still a cost savings as I knew I had my four year inspection on my duplex coming up so I chose to have him fix it while he was here for that to save on not having an additional service call charge. Which is why I waited. Two furnace inspections and a connector replacement for one twenty five wasn't bad. I trust those guys though after the initial visit the first time to fix my shop furnace. The part that wasn't working just needed to be lubricated and jarred a bit from being stuck...I think anyone else would have just said the part was bad to make money off selling you the part...that bit of honesty won them over for me, you just don't see that now a days. They were older gents to, maybe more knowledgeable about old school ways to get parts working again.
I don't care about any upvote so no you don't have to ask me about using a bot. I am just use to conversing with you. Many people do without voting people, a look at my comments could tell you that. lol.
