Okay. I got one sock monkey one-piece for the boy a little deer one-piece for my niece due in January. (Shakes fist at Kat the Enabler!)
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I am sleepy and bored. I can't even waste time pretending to work on my Yuletide story as planned, because I have a bunch of boring busywork to do this afternoon.
Maybe I'll take a smoke break and go play in the snow.

Poll time!
For people who live in a part of the country that experiences 4 distinct seasons (basically, I'm thinking, WINTER as seen on TV), what temperature do you keep your thermostat at when you're home (1) and awake (i.e., doing normal home stuff -- reading, loafing, cooking, working, whatever), and (2) asleep?
I lived in an apartment for 7 years where I didn't regulate the heat, and because of where in the building my apartment was located, it was a blast furnace in the winter. I quite seriously left windows cracked open in below-freezing temps, and only wore short-sleeved shirts, and slept with just a top sheet (which often got kicked off).
Now, I know that *that* isn't normal, but now that I live with The Boy, I'm freezing all the time. I'm sure I need time to adjust, but before I beg him to turn up the thermostat, I don't know what's a reasonable daytime and sleeping temperature. He's been keeping it at 65 or so during the day, and 60 or 62 at night.
That seems low. Is 70 unreasonable during the day? I have no frame of reference any more, after living in the blast furnace for 7 years.
So I turn to you, oh my Buffistae.

I need to go there! Co-workers and I have all been talking about it since we moved our office to Culver City. Need to make it happen.

We do 68 during the day if we're at home, then turn it down to 60 before we go to bed, though we kept it a bit warmer when Annabel was a baby.

Who here has been hypnotized? Was it fun? Freaky?
I've never been hypnotized, but I have hypnotized a few dozen people. From my side it was very clinical, neither fun nor freaky.

not your mom's socks.
teppy - he's obviously related to my DH. and my mom. with no sense of cold.
68 or 69. But when the temperature drops, the house gets cold and takes a while to heat up again.
Oh, and also - [link]

This sounds pretty close to how I'd like it. Maybe a little chilly depending on how accurate your thermostat is. (And, more importantly, where it's located in relation to the boiler! In my current building, the thermostat is right next to the boiler...in the cellar. There are vague plans to move it, say, inside, but nobody really knows when it's going to happen.)
