2. My neighbors are driving me crazy
They want the building's heat at 75 degrees, then they whine about the bills. Put on a damn sweater! It's supposed to be chilly in the winter!

6. That's nothing...this dorm has radiator heat...
and it's 85 degrees in the lobby of every floor...I can't breathe. I'm sitting here in a cami and pajama pants, the window is all the way open, and the fan is going. it's about 45 degrees outside. These freaking skinny girls in this dorm piss me off...they had blankets at the meeting tonight like they were cold. I was standing against the door that leads to the balcony, which was locked, because God forbid someone open it to let all the boiling heat out and cool the place the hell off. I had sweat pouring off of me, and if you knew me, you'd know that sweating inappropriately is against my religion. If I'm on a treadmill, great. If I'm standing in the middle of a meeting of the dorm, I'm miserable and cranky. This place sucks.

8. psst...women DON'T sweat, they glisten.
Edited on Mon Jan-12-04 11:58 PM by HereSince1628
but I am in complete sympathy, they shouldn't be glistening in January unless they are, well, exercising sort of...

This IS the frozen north ya know? The weight of 4 or 5 quilts is very restive. How does one do that at 70 degrees?

11. I wish I were in the frozen north.
I'd go run around outside naked for five minutes to justify this freaking heat.

12. I'm there, but the neighbor has a security light on proximity switch
it sort of gives new meaning to the idea of northern exposure.

3. So, as I wipe brow, what is really wrong with 65 degrees?
I mean this IS the ambient temperature of Wisconsin on the summer solstice...

Above this and we might as well be living in the south...somewhere like Joliet!

A nekkid roll in the snow is looking awfully tempting.

4. OK. SO = significant other, eh?
Ugh. For some of us, SO = sex offender in the professional world. Gotta be careful with those shortcuts.

And, yeah, even here in mild Oregon, we keep the thing at about 62 degrees most of the time. I wear a sweatshirt. We snuggle. It's all good.

9. All I can say is the Valley isn't REALLY part of the US.
Even if you have oranges and lemons growing on the patio, 70 degree nights in January are positively anti-Northern.

15. We had 70 degrees in Tennessee the first week of January
I was sweating my ass off. The next day it was 30. Then it snowed. I wish I was still sweating.

YellowRubberDuckie needs to find the fusebox and have some fun. There's nothing quite so satisfying as the high-pitched whine of spoiled coeds...

16. Seventy in January is positively just not Wisconsin.
Temp swings of 50 degree aren't uncommon in 24 hours but usually more of the 40 to -10 degree variety here in the balmy south.

7. Well nekkid roll in snow may make me fit your definition...
She's now zonked, snoring like a golden retriever..., I have turned down the heat and opened the windows...

This is the trouble with south-siders they never get with the program.

10. I'm a cheesehead, and I'll say that 70 is way too hot for inside
I'd be in my underwear.
