I grew up outside New Orleans, so we were never really cold -- not like Yankee cold -- but my father kept the house at 64 in the winter and we wore sweatshirts, and slippers, because it was WINTER. (He also kept it at 80 in the summer, but that's some other whine.)delagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197857250240640822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-33992723367872836732008-12-29T22:52:00.000-05:002008-12-29T22:52:00.000-05:00It amazes me that these "young whippersnappers" ca...It amazes me that these "young whippersnappers" cannot take cool houses.

Instead of only needing a sweater to go outside, I am using coats, sweaters, gloves, and scarves. I am fucking freezing. Mr. Zelda is loving this change in my temperature, he, like Mr. Delagar, whinned all the time about the cold. Now, we are on the same key, cold as hell.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-71772943177280968162008-12-29T13:30:00.000-05:002008-12-29T13:30:00.000-05:00We keep our house at 64 degrees.

We have one of those circulating oil space heaters to warm the bedroom and an unvented gas fireplace to warm the family room. It works. I just ask myself if I prefer the 100 degree weather we get in the summer. My answer is always no. --LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
