No heat for a week now.
And no a/c either.
It's SPRING in coastal Alabama.
Just wide open doors and windows.
Ceiling fans.

3. I'm with you
Home heating oil is up to $2.44/gallon. When I filled the tank last, it was $2.11. I bought two five gallon gas cans and go to the depot and buy off-road diesel (it's safe, my landlord okay'd it and the oil company recommended it.) I can't afford 150 gallon minimum and am waiting until the price comes down a bit.

I can't turn off my furnace until May. :(

7. I'm turning mine way down
Dropkid will just have to wear sweatshirts and longjohns to bed with her pajamas.

I don't qualify for any type of aid, because I earn so much money :eyes: My gross pay is higher than the limit for my household, but my take home is more than $1000 less. I'll get caught up in the next couple months, but it trashes my credit to do this.

5. Well, except for the hurricanes.
It's always SOMETHING, everywhere.
