I hear you, but we are in control of some things: remember to plug in your phone and look at the keurig manual for what should be an easy fix. How do you run out of propane? Our tank may be in the ground, but the propane company checks it regularly.
@libbyannE

The Propane company said they're two weeks behind delivery..see my answer above re: Keurig.

Two weeks? Gaah! Not good.

Not cold here yet. We use the fireplace with forced return blower to heat the front of the house in the afternoon/evening in winter, but the cost of wood is getting as high or higher than the cost of just turning on the heat, so this might be the last winter for that 😩

Sounds the OP needs to develop some better habits. I plug in my phone every night when I go to bed - totally charged each AM. We use propane in our camper and because we are full time there all summer we have 2 large tanks - the company where we buy has a strip of some kind of temp sensitive tape on the tanks that changes color where the level of the liquid is and I check those every monday and thurs first thing in the AM - if one is getting low DH will change to the other tank and call to have the first one filled. I have learned the hard way about running out of propane. Sorry, I don't know anything about Keurigs - but just in case the stupid coffee maker dies on me I have an old fashioned percolater. I have once or twice run out of gallons of water though and had to use bottles of water to fill the coffee maker -it takes 4 bottles to make a pot.

Looks like @151949 didn't read the entire post. Did you miss the part where I posted bout the French press? Oops, maybe you don't know what that is..I'm sorry.

The propane company was behind two weeks ago and will be here tomorrow. It's their mistake. We have three fireplaces , a (heating) stove and a dryer which uses propane, otherwise, we use oil to heat our home. That tank is filled.

As far as my phone is concerned, it was three quarters full as of this morning and didn't feel the need to plug it in last night. Right now its full.

Okay?

Please let me know when you are going to use gas on an electric stove to make coffee.

@151949

If her stove was gas, assume much?
