If not, I say it's not tacky if you're the only one who knows about it.
Good one! Now I just have to see if I can describe it in a way that matches the recipient's initials. (Have I told you guys about this?)
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I guess a more accurate question is: what's a reasonable upper limit for room temperature? Regardless of all y'all's personal preferences, that is -- it sounds like 68-70 is a more or less "common" room temperature, yes? It wouldn't brand me as an unreasonable Heat Miser?
(Friends in college did, in fact, nickname me the Heat Miser because I would get cold when it was 71 degrees.)

Also, it's snowing a lot. After five minutes outside I looked like the abominable snowman.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Steph, you should have moved in with me, and I should have sent my husband to live with your Boy.

68/65 or lower, too.
Unless it is really windy and I'm feeling block of ice-ish. Then I might run it warmer while home & awake. Of course, by Feb, I may be getting into the 73 vicinity.
In summer, I'm pretty ok with 78/75 as long as it isn't too muggy. Well, ok, at night I might maybe just barely tweak it a little lower.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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 keep things in the low sixties during the day. And somewhere in the high fifties at night. But I know I am weird. In summer anything below 80 is fine but I am happiest at about 76.
My personal loathing is places too heated in the winter and too chilled in summer. It's winter, I am wearing socks, please don't make me icky sweaty. I'm the one who always has a sweater in offices in summer. Because it's freezing.

Trust my rage
The year Joe was gone, I kept out house at 71 or 72 during the evening. If I didn't, my hands and feet got cold. For me, it was totally worth the extra money to be comfortable in my own home And I wasn't walking around in shorts. Usually sweatpants, a T shirt and a sweater. But I'm always cold.
My parents kept our MN house at 69 in the winter and it was just too cold for me.
I think 65 is as cold as I can take it at night.

Yes yes yes!!!!
I hate having to carry sweaters to the movies or the grocery store in summertime.
