2010 - What will you bring?

We have past the middle of January, received the electric bill, was disgusted it was so high. We have had a lot of very cold days and nights and I have electric heat. I am home all day every day. I was sick over 10 days with a seasonal cold and had to keep the house warm. Hopefully, February will not be so cold. I can only hope.
One daughter heats with wood and the other with lp gas and their electric bills were in the $70.00 range, while mine $463.00.
I need alot of weatherization updates on my house. An agency was supposed to help last year, but, had untrustworthy employees who took advantage of my health situation and stole from me when they had been sent to help me. I do believe this agency may have been helping low income elderly persons in the two county area with similar helping themselves to persons items that would be discovered missing later after these men had left with the elderly being taken advantage of again.
I saw these men rumaging through items that had nothing to do with the HVAC as they were supposedly checking and when I did report to their superiors, I was told that if I reported this to the sheriff's office, this agency would be unable to follow through and assist me with my home
improvements to make my home energy efficient.
I did report the theft to the sheriff's office and I have reported this situation to the social service department that had recommended this agency. Meanwhile, I have outrageous power bills to pay.
