The furnace is broken where I live and I've been without heat since getting home on Sunday

I hate being cold, and it's well below freezing outside

Give me some suggestions for getting warm guys.

I have a space heater, but everytime I plug it in a fuse blows

omg! if only I could blow all this hot air your way

Body heat works

put the oven and the stove on high!

Do you have a neighbor you can stay with until the furnace is fixed?

But boil water to prevent carbon emmissions from poisoning you if you have a gas stove.

ZombieKitten said:

I WISH you could! I'm perfectly okay with being too hot
but too cold is unbearable

paintedlady said:

I wouldn't feel right doing that
but times like this I wish I was closer to my neighbors

thekidsgirl said:

yeah, I'm too cold when it's less than 60, so I can't imagine how cold you must be are you wearing gloves?

ocean said:

I'd need another warm body
but there's just meee

thekidsgirl said:

if you can hold on another 90 or so days you can snuggle with me

ZombieKitten said:

It's on, but I can't feel it in my room
My brother suggested that I sleep on the kitchen floor, but thats weird

ZombieKitten said:

My gloves are lost
but I do have on a coat and boots right now

thekidsgirl said:

I would.... grab the cushions off the sofa.

thekidsgirl said:

not really, we're all sleeping in the TV room since it's the only room with a functioning air-con

ZombieKitten said:

perhaps you should get a sooner flight, I might be an ice cube by the time you get here

thekidsgirl said:

I'm expecting by then you'd have thawed out again!

paintedlady said:

he said the same thing, but thats still not really appealing to me
I mean the floor is clean and all, but....well....hmmm, maybe

Go to your nearest SuperWalmart or SuperTarget. (open 24 hours).
Purchase a 'space heater', cheap models running less than 20 bucks.

It'll only heat one modest sized room in your house, or a small efficiency, but its well worth the purchase. Plus it saves on your heating bill if you live alone. You can just heat the room you sleep in at night, and turn the thermostat down for the rest of the house.

I'll be just then defrosting, like Encino Man

Ummmm, ya ever heard of blankets?

LazarusHeart said:

I got a nice little $15 space heater at Target, but everytime I turn it on, a fuse blows and I don't know how to make it not

obsessed said:

Got 4 of them on the bed

I guess you'd suggest 4 more

thekidsgirl said:

it's faulty then, and not safe to use

ZombieKitten said:

Oh okay, well then I'm taking this crap back to the store tomorrow
It smelled a little funny anyway



...Do you think it would be wise to run a hot bath, and sleep in the tub tonight?

thekidsgirl said:

That's exactly what I'm sayin'

obsessed said:

Well I don't think I have many more blankets, but I can lay jackets over the bed!

First, move somewhere warm. Like Baltimore...


Second, be sure to give that space heater plenty of room. Those things start fires.

Third, wrap up in some blankets and whatnot.

thekidsgirl said:

We should start a fund-raiser to buy you more blankets

ThreadBare said:

I am in Baltimore! Thats the problem
Don't you just wish you were here too

The space heater ain't gonna happen tonight, but I am gonna pile every blanket, spare coat, sweater and whatever in top of me in bed tonight!
