During one of the frequent family protests about the temperature of the house, Moo shouted at me, “You live like a polar bear!”

I’m with Moo – I wear a hoodie the entire year. A/C set to cold, heat set to “we don’t need any freaking heat, we’re saving money for A/C season”

Yes. You. Have. I like her too, but her thermostat could be better calibrated in my opinion.

The dreaded central heating has gone on at home (at Rhonda’s request) for the first time this week. I hate it, bloody horrible germ generator, everyone will have a cold by this time next week, I bet.
I’d sleep with the window open all year if it was up to me, but I’m outvoted by two shivering girls, so I’ll have to stifle for the next three months.

How awful.
Is it steam heat? I’ve never heard that about the germs, before. I like an open window, too 🙂

Not steam, hot water radiators. Germs always prosper in a nice warm environment in winter and central heating gives them a head start.

I suspected. Our heat is natural gas. Not too common to have radiant heat here.

No, I’d prefer warm air ducted heating but it’s not as common as it used to be.

I’m always cold. Our old house is drafty with high ceilings. So, we try not to use the heat too much as not to be wasteful. My favorite thing is to wrap up in a blanket freshly removed from a hot clothes dryer. 😉

Very nice! When my children were small, I’d put their clothes in the dryer on cold mornings. ❤
Our furnace is a bit of a diva, we do not take the heat for granted, that's fersure!

My former mother-in-law was a polar bear. Their house was never warm enough for me in the winter, but the summer was actually worse. She would run the A/C at 65/66 degrees. The FIL would get mad because he was freezing and turn it off entirely. They never understood “happy medium.” I spent the summers outside in the flower gardens as much as possible. Brrrrr!!!!

Uh, well, in Georgia I ran downstairs at 68 and upstairs at 62, because it’s freakin hot in Georgia and 62 barely made it comfortable and our bedroom faced west and I bout cooked. We seldom used the heat in Georgia, and never, ever upstairs.
Here, with air I’m 68ish at night and 72 for days. Heat, 68 and space heater in the living room in the evening.

I can understand your predicament in Georgia. I’m not a fan of excessive heat and humidity either. I think your A/C and heat temps in Indiana are more like normal. I could take that.

If you come to call, I can face the space heater at you and give you a nice hot cuppa 🙂

I don’t know what it is about some folks’ metabolism that causes them to think it’s hot when everyone else is freezing their asses off.
Whatever the case I share Moo’s pain.
I tell you whenever we’re expecting company at this time of year I have to secretly turn up the heat a few hours before the guests arrive and hope she doesn’t notice, or sit there embarrassed during dinner watching our guests shiver as they eat.

Gas company be damned, indeed! The problem is, when you live down there, your blood thins and you adjust. I mean, I never adjusted, I was always hot, but I did become less cold-tolerant.

The Mister made me turn the heat on the other night when it was supposed to be 37 overnight. That lasted about an hour, took the chill out, since then it’s been on 67. 😀

I grew up without heat or a/c in our home. It was Florida, so lack of heat was okay except for some dreaded winters in the 80’s! I keep the house cold-when my mom shows up she always brings socks and jackets to wear around the house.
