My wife loves me and wants me to live forever

[NightWatcher]

and if that doesn't happen and I should expire, she keeps it cold enough in our house that I will be preserved a la Lenin into perpetuity.

Brrrr, I can't feel my toes.

1. You say she loves you and wants you to live forever...

Doesn't she know that cold can kill you???

Sheesh.

[NightWatcher]

2. She says it's my fault because my chair is under the main AC vent

Our AC went out 4 years ago and we replaced it with a hulk of a system. We could hang meat in here if the refridgerator or freezer died.

3. you want I should kick your frigid ass, NightWatcher?

I'd do that for Mrs. NightWatcher; yes INDEED

[NightWatcher]

4. you might break your foot on my frozen ass

5. LOL Our house is the same way.

It's a constant tug of war here... he likes it warm, I like it frosty. Hey, you can always get warmer, but you cannot take off enough layers to get cool.

6. I go outside to defrost and sleep under 2 blankets....in August...in Florida

I can get sunburn and hypothermia in the same weekend

8. hahahaha

9. we have that war in the winter

i want the windows cracked and he's setting the thermostat to 80. i keep that mother at 62-68 all winter long, even when it's below zero. he can wear his robe and slippers all winter like i do.

10. ouch

62-68 is cold. We keep our house between 70 in winter and 72/73 in summer.

[fizzgig]

11. we can't afford to run it any higher

i'm used to the cold but he's from a warmer climate and doesn't deal with it so well. i'll be lucky to make it another three weeks before he starts bugging me to take the fan out of the window at night.

7. HE is the problem at my house. My house is frigid, too.

It's August, in VA. I'm in sweat pants, socks, shirt, and hoodie. I, too, go outside to thaw out. I have a sheet, quilt, and comforter on the bed.

What's funny is in the winter we have the opposite fight. I like it cooler, he wants the heat cranked up. I put the thermometer on 68 and keep a fire going. He cranks it up to 74 or so and STILL builds a fire. Next thing you know it's in the 80's in the house and I'm cracking windows.

12. Years ago, while we were living in Denver, a very...

...parsimonious friend of my husband told us about one of his wonderful money saving ideas. He was keeping his thermostat set at 55 in the winter, and they were wearing sweaters all the time. My husband thought that sounded like a great idea. "Not if you want to continue living with me," I told him.
