Same here. My gas boiler hasn't been serviced for over 20 years, and I think I could blow the house up if I tried to use it.

Why can't mosquitos bite us without spitting saliva into our blood, so that it won't itch? I don't mind bites if they don't give you any grief and just produce a little red spot then heal.
