How to tell if you need to turn up the heat...

[paints]

1.  When you open the oven door and say, "oh, that's warm!" before looking at the food.

2.  When checking to see if the coffee pot is on, you leave your hand on the pot because, "Oh, that's warm!"

3. When you run your hand across your laptop keyboard and say, "Oh, that's warm!"

4. When you go upstairs to make sure the faucet is dripping because there is a freeze warning, and you notice there is a layer of ice in the toilet bowl. 

Oh, that's COLD!

LOL! This past weekend the timing was right and all the stars were aligned, etc. for us to refinish a hardwood floor in a room we are renovating. The room only has one small window and a ceiling fan, so we had to open some other windows in the house that evening and through part of the night to help ventilate the stain odor.  It was COLD!!!


Normally we wouldn't pick one of the colder days of the year to do this, but it had to be that weekend if it was going to get done at all!

I turn up the furnace when everyone in the house is sitting in a blanket, then it must be a little bit chilly.

You realize I'm speaking from personal experience, right?  I have done every one of those things in the last week!

When you shiver, breathe out fog, and all the thing in your house got this condense sweat instead of dust. And another, when you watch tv with 4 covers on I wish you fusioncash to stay warm not hot.

Growing up in my house, I was constantly cold because my parents were pretty tight moneywise... In the mornings, we'd turn our thermostat UP to about 63-degrees!

So was there actually ice in the toilet bowl?! That's nuts! I've never heard of that happening, but I'd be pretty startled if I saw it myself when I went in the bathroom.

I remember those days! My dad would get up an hour or so before everyone else to turn up the heat "to take the chill off."

Yeah, there was really ice in the toilet bowl!  Not a lot, but a thin film riding the top of the water. 

The bathroom upstairs vents to the outside, so the cold air comes in, too.  When it's really cold, I close all the heating vents and doors upstairs and keep the heat downstairs. 

Guess I need to make some changes...

lol I was just thinking Im cold, but the heater is already on 70!

I know it's cold when my short haired cat starts hitting the heater trying to "make the heat come on", as I don't always have it turned on.   (He loves sitting by it when it's running.)

I usually leave me thermostat at 60 in the winter since im gone a lot

I turn the heat on when I am cold.  Just like I turn the A/C on when I am hot.  Love having the wood stove going. It may be cold in the bedrooms because the heater is not running, but the living room is nice and toasty.  The fan to the kitchen blows enough heat in for it to be warm also. I do not care if the bedrooms are cold because I prefer to sleep in a cold room. I do not get up feeling so stuffy when it is.

I know it is cold when I have to wear a sweatshirt to bed over my flannel p.j.'s!
