Once upon a time we lived in a rental house that had no insulation at
all. It got so cold that the toilet bowl froze. We'd have to heat water
on the stove and pout it into the bowl to get it to flush before we
could use it.

The only heat we had was a kerosene heater that we had to move from room
to room. When we'd go to bed at night we had to tuck the baby into a
dresser drawer with blankets to keep her warm enough even though the k.
heater was in the bedroom with us.

STAY WARM!


That is some kind of serious cold. Did the little
baby grow up to be an eskimo? I figure to be on the
computer for another hour or so. And then go to bed
and pile on the blankets. This low temp routine does
not appeal to me, at all.
