You can drink well water...

Why are you still buying bottled water? There is no reason to do so unless you live in an area with unsafe drinking water, which we do not.

If it's not gonna be cold and snowing, just give me spring. The 40s are annoying. It's not warm but not cold, just muddy and gross.

I'm still more afraid of Rialto.

This is literally OP's point. People who enjoy that sort of thing can seek out romance books. But it's annoying when it's prevalent in other genres because we're specifically not looking for that. If we were, we would read romance.

I agree, and I don't understand it because obviously I'm reading a thriller and not a romance novel. If I wanted to read that I would seek it out, so please stop shoehorning it into every book!

Last month mine was $103, this month $300. It blows. I have a small house and keep it on 66 day/60 night... so I'm not even warm, and my bill is still $300.

The room sizes are weird. My living room is extra large; house also has a large entryway. But it's a cape so it's technically 1.5 stories and the bedrooms are small upstairs.

Based on everyone's feedback, it's probably safe to assume the house doesn't have insulation. Like I said, it's my first winter here so I didn't know what to expect.

I didn't know that blasting foam insulation into plaster walls was something you could even do, but now I'm thinking I'll probably have to do it next year.
