Here if it's more than 2 months late they disconnect . But in the winter they can't becouse of children .I think I would have it put in my name and make sure it gets paid.

I am with you Corinna, she is either very forgetful (for months!) or just don't care. I would get the lights in my name if I could so I wouldn't have to worry about this happening during a freeze or something..

In food service we have a saying about food, "When it doubt, Throw it out!".. So if you have any doubts about the safety of the food, dump it!

My fridge broke last christmas, I kept things on the porch, it was cold enough, especiall in an ice chest.

You will need to cook any meat that thaws though.
