Being cold is miserable. I think the only thing worse is being wet and cold.

Sorry to hear that Brenda. :(
Usually I'd be right with you there in solidarity, but I decided this year not to live in extreme cold inside the house because all I do is veg out under the covers playing games or watching youtube when I'm not at work. I refuse to let myself fall back into bad habits because it's cold outside, although I fear my heat bill is going to be a majority of what my take home pay is the next few months because of it.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I'm glad that you're not Jack. No one should have to put up with the cold. If using the heat in your house keeps you from getting sick this winter then that is money well spent. That is my major worry now.

Rain today and laundry. Oh the joy.
Went to my local casino yesterday and didn't loose any money but only made a profit of $3 and some change. The machines were really strange.

Have you ever considered infrared heat? I know that now is a terrible time to bring up the idea since you're not going to find bargains on them when winter is just picking up, but they run on signifigantly less power than older heating technology.
I know that money is an issue for you, but if I remember right it was really your shitty landlady bitching about electricity costs that was keeping you from living in an adequately heated space. Maybe you could find a way to get an infrared heater this year and keep the place warmer without the bitch screaming at you?
A caveat: Though the technology is "perfectly safe", I wouldn't trust that it is until a few decades go by and the real results come in. They sound like reverse microwaves to me. I'm thinking about getting one myself to heat the basement and make the floors on the first floor warm, but I wouldn't put it in the rooms that I use often.

You might want to look into this one:

I'm not sure if you'd get the same deals in Canada as it says for me, but it's free shipping from Fry's Electronics, and they've got something on the page saying "Deal: 20% off your first order" which would drop it down to under 50 USD before taxes.
Here were the most meaningful reviews I saw:

The service is great!!! It came quicker than expected. There is a bit of a smell the first few days, but not a problem after that.The heat is amazing. Warm but not overpowering hot and dry.. warmed the room quickly and pleasantly. I had it mostly on the low setting which was more than efficient for the room. My electric bill was NOT a shock, pleasantly surprise for the use I had given it. the system regulate well, keeping the use of electricity efficient and economical. I love it. It also move so easy from room to room. My nine cats say" Thank you for the extra warmth". If a person needs extra heat it is the way to go. On some day it is all I use. Thank you for a fine product.

I've used Soleus panel heaters for years to rid myself of the expensive electric heat in the ceilings of 70's era homes. This new model dropped the remote control but other than that it's still the solution for older "all-electric" homes.

This is my second time buying this heater. I love it. Very quiet because it has no fan. Heats up very quickly. Warms up more than one room. Similar to a furnace but much better.
I'm actually thinking of buying one myself today. My brother is going to be staying here for around 5 days before Christmas and usually when he comes we need to bundle up heavily in the basement where my only flat screen TV is so we can watch TV. My crappy and inefficient heating system has no heat going to the basement of my tri-level home, so the only warmth it sees is the residual from the upstairs. This might be a relatively cheap solution.
At the 750 watts setting, that would cost me about 7 or 8 cents per hour to run it. Double that if the 1,500 watts setting is necessary.
