I haven't turned mine on yet. I really want to know how far I can get without it

Go to the volleyball game too! Then you're the ultimate true fan.
Plus, it's a huge game for us.
That still just sounds so weird to me.
Also KC, I hope you know I wasn't being a smart*** to you in the Mizzou thread. I mean, I was one, but not to you.
you live above people though, right? So heat seeps up to you? We didn't turn ours on last year until later because we had a semi-heated garage underneath us and neighbors with heat on.
A few weeks ago, co worker in the next office was sniping about my coughing (which was in my office, alone, and I was over my cold, just some residual junk in my chest). I went and got cough drops and cough syrup.
Now, he's horking up a lung over there for like a week. I've been throwing cough drops at him over the wall.
Yeah, I'm on the fifth floor so that really helps. Plus, I like my apartment cool.
I'm not trying to single anyone out, but I never get the big appeal about boasting about how long you waited to turn the heat/AC on. If I'm cold, I turn the heat on. When I'm hot, the AC goes on. That's why I have it. I want to be comfortable in my house. To me it's like bragging about how late at night I can wait to turn the lights on in my house.
I'd ask my dad to turn on the heat and he'd say "if you're cold put on a damn sweatshirt"
I've always thought it was because you're likely saving money.
But I'm an adult now, so I turn the heat on when I get cold, and the AC when I get hot. Though the heat is set at 67 and I'd probably prefer it at 70. So I just wear my sweatshirt while cross stitching then.
Yeah, I got the same treatment growing up. Having my bedroom on the second story in the northwest corner of a poorly insulated farmhouse was brutal.
Mine is set at 62. Any time someone comes over, I have to turn it up quite a bit.
That, I understand, but that wasn't what I was referring to.
I meant the guys that say, "What, you turned the heat on already? It's only 35 degrees out. You *****."
Mrs00 is always cold, and I've told her that I'd run the furnace at 90 if she'd run around in yoga shorts....she hasn't taken me up on the offer.
:sad:
Old farmhouses don't have the best insulation. Mine was on the east side but yeah, about the same. Didn't get any of the afternoon heating, though the wind was blocked a bit more. I used to wrap up in two fleece blankets in addition to my comforter.
And since I'm talking yoga shorts...she was running errands before work yesterday morning, and was in the mall area. I reminded her via text to stop by vickie's secret for her free skivvies so I wouldn't have to (although I will)....she always forgets, then I have to go on the last day after work.
She texted me back that she didn't have time to stop at the mall for skivvies, but she had gotten some workout pants that she thought I might like.
:yes:
yeah that part is more like yeah, I like to live in relative comfort and not pretend I'm on an episode of Survivorman.
I readily admit that I have gotten to be a bit of a cold-weather wuss since I left Iowa in '95, though. I can tolerate it much better than my wife, but I really don't miss those sub-zero days when the wind is just howling.
