Ideally, when you go to bake cookies in the evening, the oven should not be leaking enough gas to make the entire house smell.

Or, you know, enough gas to make you start feeling sick even after you escape to go sit on the front porch for fresh air.

We're going to call up the repairmen first thing tomorrow.

On the plus side, the advantage to our house being so old and, err, well-ventilated, is that even if it does start leaking again, the worst we'll end up with is more bad headaches.

On the negative side, we didn't end up with double-chocolate cookies. And we're probably going to be out more money on fixing this oven again.

In other news, I'm hunting for a beta for a couple stories I'm currently working on. I probably won't have them done by the time my current beta goes off for her vacation, and I like having someone else's eyes catch my mistakes before they go up in public. One's a straight Supernatural story, the other's a Supernatural/SG-1 crossover that I'm doing for a ficathon.

:) That's how we escaped carbon monoxide poisoning in the house I grew up in -- the house wasn't well-sealed enough.

Glad you escaped the bad gas of doom. If you still need the beta, just e-mail me the stories. (My e-mail is in my user info.) I beta Harry Potter fics at The Quidditch Pitch. I'm not very involved in the fandoms your stories are from, but I don't mind taking a look if you still need it. :D

I might be able to help beta them but it depends when you'll need that doing really. I'm away this Friday-Monday, but should be free late Monday after I get back and until wednesday as I'm not back at work until Thursday next week.
