I have one in my basement but I've never used it. With my asthma I can't breathe in it.
Would an infra-red version be an idea for you?
I don't like them at all anyway so it's not a big loss to me. You can come over and use it if you want to though.
What I'm thinking right now....I just saw a little karma come into play. I'm not well enough to pick up Monkeygirl from school every day this week but I wanted 2 days because then I have time with her and the ex stays at work later. So I picked her up today, had a wonderful evening together. Was putting monkeyboy to bed and started reading another chapter in his book that he likes. Monkeygirl crawled into bed with us to listen and when the ex tried to come in to join (the moment he gets home he interferes), she repeatedly asked him to leave. He finally did because he doesn't like to upset her. So I enjoyed 15 mins curled up in bed with a book and a monkey on either side and an ex who went to sulk in the basement.
