I had an electric blanket while in college...I had 2 children!!!
One year I lived in an apartment. This story is set in January. The heater stopped on a Thursday night. We all called the landlord. His wife said "He is hunting, he will fix it on MONDAY!!!!" It was in upstate PA...Mansfield is in the MOUNTAINS!!! It was literally in the teens and single digets! Anyway, my 2 roomates and some of my neighbors spent the whole weekend in our apartment cuddled under the electric blanket. There were many #$%%^%$^% directed to the LL when he returned!!! If I knew then what I know now...oh how he would have paid!!!
