Still holding at 48 degrees here... To add a little to the story, did you know that my landlord actually tried very hard to talk me out of going to the hotel by saying that he'd bring over space heaters? Right. So we could blow a bunch of fuses and *we* could pay the exorbitant electricity costs. In your dreams, pal. The pets seem to be doing okay, but we're keeping them close to the space heaters (the ones we already owned) and putting extra blankets out on the sofa and other places where they like to sit.

You don't even need a refrigerator under conditions like that. Where are the pets? Maybe THAT'S what the neighbors wanted to discuss.

Geeze, who needs an ice storm power outage when you have such a thoughtful landlord? Warm hugs to all. Even if the hotel room's heater is going full blast. (Hey, Laurie - how about one of those hells where it's cold? [veg]) Lovely on Time, but gah on the furnace! Geeze, who needs an ice storm power outage when you have such a thoughtful landlord?

I'd say that there's a special place in hell getting all toasty for him, but that might sound rather too good for him right this moment. Yikes! Landlords stink.

Maybe your new heater will be more efficient, though, and you can redo your budget - a few more degrees?

I hope it gets better soon! You'd think they would expect people to need new heaters in the winter and keep a lot in stock. Sorry to hear about your heat problems. I hope it gets better soon!
