AlmiraGulch Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Granted, I'm in Atlanta and it really isn't that cold (45 right now, 36 with the wind chill) but to me it's COLD! I want to crawl back in bed. Oh, and did I mention I'm too cheap to turn the heat on? :D Baked potato soup for dinner tonight, if I can muster the will to take off my Snuggli. That's all.

Starr Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Here comes all the northern sympathy I can muster. :D 45 degrees? :lol: Turn on the heat for a little, it's Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See...there's the problem. I can hardly muster sympathy for my own self. I grew up in the North....which is why I now live in the South! And no, I won't do it, because....well...45 just isn't cold enough to justify it. :tongue_smilie: P.S. I am now wearing my daughter's brand new fingerless gloves. Because she isn't. Because.....she isn't freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I understand, our heating recently broke down during a particularly cold spell. My body just shuts down when I feel even slightly chilly. And I get grumpy too. The good news is that it's quite cheap and easy to warm up. The bad news is it involves lots of vacuuming, bathroom cleaning and ironing. Cooking can be warming too, especially if it means opening and closing the oven lots. Slightly more fun is participating in a Nerf war with wild, crazy kids. Or maybe you'd just prefer to remain cold and grumpy :D. Best wishes Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably on a beach with a nice young cabana boy bringing me froo-froo drinks. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm with you on the cold in the South. I'm in MS... under an electric blanket... set to 8... with a kid at my feet sharing the blanket. :-) Turn on the heat!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too practical, that's me. Of course, there are all kinds of ways to get nice and hot and steamy :tongue_smilie:. Ah, what have you got me started on :ohmy:?

KungFuPanda Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If it's 45 degrees in the house I think you can fold and turn on the heat. See, it has this handy mechanism that shuts itself off when the desired temperature is reached. Set it for 64 if you must. I live in the north and I start balking when I have lto go outdoors if it's below 50. I pretty much whine from October until March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, or the "cold" seeped into my bones when I ventured outside and I can't shake it. I'm good now, though! Hot shower, snuggly warm pajamas, coffee with Bailey's, warm covers = Warm Me!!!

Cammie Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 We are cold here in Bangalore! Had the sweaters and blankets on yesterday and the temperature was about 80 but the houses here are built to stay cool (marble floors, no direct sunlight in the windows, concrete wall construction) and we have NO HEAT! So on Friday when it dips down to a frigid 70 we are all going to really be suffering!! :tongue_smilie: When you are used to high 80s/90s it is a shock to the system. Everyone here is down with colds and sinus infections! So...I feel your pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm in Atlanta, too, and also freezing. But then I grew up in HI where anything below 75 is cold. My mom confirmed this the other day when she called and said it was 74 . . . and it was so cold she had to close the front door. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 No, I prefer to be warm.

I would hold off too. But, then, we keep our house between 62 and 64 in the winter! :lol: we were just with relatives from Arizona who were freezing here in Michigan! It's all about perspective!
