It has come to my attention that some people may be worried by my use of space heaters...

I want everyone to know there is no need to worry... I am very careful with them, I don't keep them on while I am sleeping (I warm up the bedroom beforehand and keep a comfly warm cover on the bed to curl up in... I like it like that anyway) and I don't leave it on when I leave the house. I have one for the bathroom that is specially made for the bathroom, with a GFI for safety, and I am very careful with that one too, keep it well away from any water, only using it to heat the bathroom so I can take a shower.

I take great precautions in these things... I am very aware of people who die from Carb Monox and it turns out they had detectors in the house but took out the batteries because they were going off too much. I had my C.M. detector beep one time, and it was turned out to be just the warning beep because the battery was dying... but while I was putting the new battery in I opened all the windows and turned on the fan and made sure I was breathing fresh air... because I didn't want to be found unconscious fumbling with the battery of the detector... just in case.
