{snicker} And I've just barely come out of wool and 
fleece.  I've got windows open and I'm beginning to get enough 
heat pulling though the house that the bone-chilling cold of the 
thermal mass of the house is finally getting the edge knocked 
off.  I managed to get the last of last year's fuel oil, and 
this years emergency oil from Social Services to eak out until 
the worst of the cold weather was gone, but that's only using it 
once a day to knock the overnight chill off on the worst days, 
and not at all on better days, and relying on the heaters in the 
one room I heat the rest of the time.  Needless to say, for most 
of the last six months, the bulk of the house was brutally cold, 
and even in the room with heat I was buried in wool and fleece 
so I didn't use un-Ghodly amounts of electricity like I 
accidently did one month last year.
