How Low Do You Go........
 

....before turning on the heat?

I'm trying to hold out - - it's 68 in here right now.

I love to sleep when it's cold, but just sitting around it's a bit nippy on my nose.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

get you a remote control portable heater. that way you can get a shot of heat with the click of a button w/o having to even get up and heat the whole house

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Portable heaters scare me. I'm sure there are safe ones, but it seems winter fires are always started by space heaters.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

That's due to peoples' carelessness - you're a safe responsible person.

get a good brand

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

It's pretty cold here and has been for a couple weeks, so my heat's been on.

My furnace needs work, and I'm waiting on the landlady to call him. In addition, I have to get weatherstripping tomorrow to line my front door with.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

My front door wasn't staying shut unless I used the deadbolt. They came and realigned the door so that it stays shut, BUT.....now there's a crack at the top and air is just flowing through that crack.

I'll have to call them again to fix that. Surely, I can have it stay shut and no crack too.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Most of the heaters now have tipping safety features. Mine will shut off the moment they start to tip over. It's nice with the animals, since they knock things over.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

My front door is warped, so the bottom is open while the top is sealed.

But the inside door has quite the gap in it. I'm glad I'm moving out of here in a few months!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

we had our first chilly day yesterday and i'm not use to it.
I got my portable heater out.
thankfully today & the rest of the week will be nice

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

It's suppose to get colder here this week.

I'll probably turn my heat on when it hits 66 in here - - that's just too chilly if you aren't under the down covers!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

66 inside the house right?

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Yes!

It's 48 outside.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I wait til it's 66 outside......LOL!

42 here now.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

It's 61 here now (outside) and i'm fully clothed and under the covers :ursofunny

low to mid 70s the rest of the week

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Even when I turn the heat on, I try my best not to turn the heat up above 65. And we turn it down to about 62 at night and just snuggle. I'm cheap. I hate high gas bills!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Oh dear lord!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Does anyone else enjoy the smell when you first turn your heat on?

That burnt dust smell that reminds you of when you were young and it was getting cold outside?

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Ewwwwww.......... I HATE that smell!!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

O dear lord???

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I am guilty I turned our fireplace on for a few minuets this morning to take the chill off.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Oh, I love it! Isn't that weird?

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

... and many have heat sensors that will shut down if you throw a towel or something over them.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I don't try to hold out at all. If it goes below 70 I turn the heat on.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Yeah... that's weird alright!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

We have had heat off and on for several weeks now.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

LOL - - that reads hilarious!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Turned on your fireplace?

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Hoover, i realize that enjoying the smell of dust is odd
but you also listed my post as weird too. what part?

Renda?

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

When it starts to get in the 40s we turn the heater on.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Just read them all together Mark. Getting under the covers with all clothes on... then the smells... some love the smell some don't...:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Ooo ...ok

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I don't have a fireplace, but I've turned the oven on a time or two.....LOL!

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

sounds like a heat wave to me. it was 19* yesterday morn. showing 32* now and has been some snow flurries off an on most of the day.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I'm still suffering after having turned the AC off (cuz I'm too poor to pay for it right now!). It's still getting to 80 or more in my apartment (what I kept the ac set at).

I usually keep the heat set to 50 in the winter, but I'm in an apartment and it never got that cold inside in Idaho, I can't imagine it'll even get close in Texas.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I keep my apt 75-78 degrees pretty much year round. I don't really like much AC but I can't live without my heat. I love to be warm and cozy:friend

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

I've been turning ours on in the morning long enough to knock the chill out of the house. Jon is hot natured so he turns it off when I leave.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Oh my lord - - I would die!!!!!!!!

I cannot stand to be hot.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

It can happen nahkoe. We even get snow and ice storms here.

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

its not the smell that is nice, it's the comforting feeling it envokes LOL

I totally understand Renda LOL

Re: How Low Do You Go........
 

Exactly!

Like the smell of Crayola crayons - just memories I guess!
