bedroom set under 1000 image
special ed
I would like to buy a small electric heater to (help) heat a medium sized bedroom because the regular furnace in our house makes the room temperatures vary too much throughout the house.The heater has to be very safe and not use a lot of energy.Can you tell me a type and size of heater or brand name to buy?
I dont want it to use a lot of energy because there is a lot of electronics plugged in this room already and i dont want to overload anything.Thanks.

I really like using those sealed oil radiators. They take a little longer to heat up an area, but once they are warm, they dont use near the electricity of other types, and are much safer, too. As a radiator, they heat up the things around them (but not too hot) rather than heating the air, that just leaks out under the door and out the windows. They would be fine in a bedroom, I used one in my camper when I stayed in it for a week at a freinds house. It worked really well and kept it comfortable, even though it was cold outside. They usualy have three settings, too, so that after the oil inside it warms up, you can turn the power down, I think the low setting is 750 watts, thats like half of a hair dryer, Most of those other kinds use 1000 or 1500 watts. I just saw them at walmart for about 34.00, but thrift stores often have them. Thats where I got mine, for 8.00 I think. As you asked for ones that are safe and dont use a lot of power, I believe these best fit the bill. Anything that blows air with a fan, or has a wire element that glows, will really affect your power bill, believe me I have tried all of them. The oil heaters arent immediatly effective, its true, but you can just leave them turned on, on the low setting, and after a few hours, the room will be nice and warm., and will stay more evenly warm. as for safeness, none are better, nothing on it gets red hot, like the element kind. and they dont dry out the air, like air heaters.

How much would it cost to live in Mexico city for a month?

- I know theres a swine flu there. This question is in regard for about a year from now,

Mexico City is a great place to visit for a month!
It would be nice to have some more details about what you are looking to do in Mexico City.
Anyways, you can rent a decent (not a first rate hotel, but clean and safe) hotel room in downtown Mexico City for about $700 pesos per week, but that's with a shared bath. It also includes free internet in the lobby and a safe for your things. You can get a room w/bath for about $1,000 pesos per week. It really depends on what you want. There are many hotels in the Centro Historico (Downtown) which is close to many sights and things to see and do.
Yes, there's human flu in Mexico. It's also in the US and now it's in many other countries.
As for the cost of daily living: A ride on the Metro subway system costs $2.00 pesos (less than $0.20 US cents), a short taxi ride costs about $20 pesos, a bus costs about 3-4 pesos in the DF.
A tour of the city by Turibus costs about $150 pesos for all day.
Food: A tamale and a cup of atole (a steaming hot rice drink, often Chocolate or strawberry flavored) costs about 15 pesos. There's your breakfast. Lunch at a small-medium family run restaurant, the set menu comida corrida which usually includes soup, rice, beans, a main dish (enchiladas, beef or chicken steak, fish etc), a dessert, tortillas and a drink of agua fresca (flavored water, like juice) should cost between $40-50 pesos. Dinner: six tacos and a coke= $38 pesos (5 pesos per taco, 8 pesos for the coke. So your total for one day of food= $93 pesos mas o menos (more or less) and that's way under $10 USD at the current exchange rate of about $13.2 pesos to $1 USD.
