Go to the hardware store and get some pipe insulation tape or heat tape (electrical tape that you plug in).

You don't have to leave the heat on high while you're away. Set it to like 40 or 50. That way you're not paying huge bills and your pipes won't freeze. I have electric heat, so I know all about high bills.

this explains the rumors.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.

That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
