cold as all heck(sub zero) so today i turned up the thermostat too 63-

whats yours set at

(btw)when im home the room with the tv and my stereo gets plenty warm because of the heat they create-
 
Dang. My wife would leave. She's from Ft. Lauderdale. They suggest 68 in Atlanta. We're at 70, and I'm uncomfortable hot, but mommy and baby are snug as a bug. 67 is is good for me. Leah would be miserable though. Dang pretty women.
 
Roy,

You've got it easy :-) My wife is a Caribbean Indian from Trinidad. If it's 70 degrees in the house, she has a jacket on!

We must be on Atlanta Gas Light's favorite customer list.
 
72...I tried to keep it colder, but I hate having to layer while at home and relaxing:o
 
70 with a space heater here and there to help take the edge off. I'm happy with just the tv on.
 
50-60, mostly for the sake of the ferrets. I did break down and turn it up during that first week back from HI, though. :o
 
I heat with a forced air wood furnace and I keep the temperature at 75 during the day even if it is -25 outside. At night I like it nice and cool at 60 to 65 for good sleeping.
 
59-62, but the kicker is I sealed off the vents in the bedroom and I keep the door closed so the other morning when it was single digits outside, my room was frosty 41. Great for sleeping:thumbup:
 
No a/c, no heat. heck, no blankets. and leave the windows wide open.

This is the only time of year that south florida rules! I've got three weeks of glory...
 
Off. No sense in wasting oil if all the frost is on the outside. When it appears inside, I break down and run the furnace until it's 55 or 60 inside. It seldom goes below this anyway.

The betta doesn't like it but everyone else makes do; the human residents are adapted to it and Oscar the Attack Cat naps on the water heater if his belly gets cold. I remind complainers that while they didn't buy the oil, they have already paid for their coats...why not get their money's worth?

I'm a lousy (if environmentally aware) host. :)
 
Usually set at 67 at night and 70 in the day. In the summer we run 78 in the day and 75 at night. Yup..........I"m a bonafide southern wimp. I tried turning it down, but even with layers of sweaters and socks my back started spazing......ain't worth it for sure.:D

Oh, yeah, and then add in the hot flashes and chills and the thermostat gets a real good workout
 
69 or 70. And when the wood burning stove gets going, it can be 80 degrees in here.

At night, 60.

We have ours set to bump down to 62 between 8am and 4pm while we are mostly gone. Then it bumps up to around 67 through the at home hours. Our living room has a ridiculous 12' ceiling (designed to make the 1200 sq ft house seem bigger) as well as a nearby sliding glass door, so it gets a little chilly in there. We run a small space heater by the sofa to keep our feet warm (although the dog usually plops down in front of it and blocks it off) as well as down throw blankets. It's chilly, but we are used to it and can have a pretty comfortable home for about $120 a month in electric/water/gas costs. The dog sleeps in the closed off laundry room at night which is small and has a heat vent, so he is VERY snug. The ferret likes the cold and just curls up in his fleece bed. I don't mind sleeping in the cold, which is good as my wife is a damned cover hog:P

I live in a dorm. The temperature varies wildly, much to my chagrin. I actually keep the window cracked and the fan on to keep the incessant heat at bay.

Jake -- do you guys have one of those hanging fleece sleeping bag things? For some reason our ferrets are total wuss-butts and won't come out of their hammock if it's too cold. Then again, in the summertime they won't come out unless they get to play in the refrigerator. Spoiled little jerks. They're lucky they're cute. :)
 
Nova, my ferret has a hanging bed that sort of looks like a dog bed. It had a really nice pillow that came with it...which the little brat ripped to shreds in the first week. Now he has a couple of towels in there. I have to shake his bed to wake him up every morning. Lazy lil' guy, but he loves that bed. He also has a thin hammock that he sleeps in if he gets too hot in the middle of the night...or if he just can't make it back up to the top of his cage after going to the bathroom:rolleyes: He IS lazy. He was an only child until the dog came along, but even at that he has this monsterous 6' cage that would house about 8 ferrets. Pampered pet, indeed;)

I miss my ferrets:( But its been many years since I had them, and right now pets are too much trouble.

for now I'll live vicariously through you guys:)
 
I've got an electic fake stove heater... its thermostat is set halfway between on and off most of the times... gets to 3/4 of a turn when it is really cold. I have no idea of how warm that is. It really depends on how far away from the heater you are. The insulation in this house sucks.

I miss my ferrets too. I had three of them back in the early '90s. Great little guys. Right now Buddy the Wonderdog is about all I can handle (or I'm about all he can handle).
