My pilot light will not stay lit in my furnace. I've tried everything my limited knowledge can think of. It stays lit for about a minute, then putters out.
I'm pissed off. And cold. My plans for sitting around and watching my Netflix have taken a frigid turn. I might have to go out and go to the movies or something else warm.

Ever hear of a space heater? They're pretty sweet for warming small areas in the absence of other forms of heat.
Yeah, I've got one of them. It's just when I leave that room...
you can adjust the strength of the pilot light so a little more gas is coming out. it should stay lit then. but if it won't stay lit after that, you should turn it all the way off. you can always call the fire department. i'm sure they'll have a tip or two for you.
Call your gas company. They'll send somebody out to check it (free!!). That person will know a lot more about furnaces than you (no offense of course, especially since they came to my house three times last year) and can tell you if a little thing-a-ma-jig needs to be replaced or it just needs to be cleaned or whatever else.
I forget the name of the thing I had to get replaced last year, but it ended up being a really cheap part and I NEVER had another problem with the pilot light. :)
