Poll question:

How many guys here have wives who mistakenly think that when warming up
a cooled down house the rate of temperature change produced by a typical
home heating system will be faster if they shove the thermostat setting
all the way up to 90F than if they just move it to the appropriate setpoint.

Then of course, they forget to reset it when the place reaches a
comfortable temperature which some time later causes the man of the
house to snarl, "Why the hell is it so damn hot in here?"

Ah, but there is a difference here. As I heard it, God created
Adam, and he said "Yoicks its hot! I can't wait to invent air
conditioning." Shortly afterwards, God takes advantage of Adam
knocking himself out trying, and creates Eve. Her first words are
"Good God, it's cold in here, why not create some warm clothes and
central heat!"
And it has been a problem ever since.

In my house..the ex is the one that likes it cold..I like it warm, but
not hot.

She considers anything above 50 to be tropical. Who else has a large
ceiling fan, and a 20" fan at the foot of the bed, and a 20" fan to her
right..all blowing on High nearly all year long?

LOL. A friend thought anything below 50 was arctic. So of
course, she married and moved to Anchorage.

We have a very large King sized bed..and she puts extra blankets on my
side of the bed. Even the dogs cuddle up with me in mid winter..on the
left..sheltered by me from the freaking fans.

Then there was the lass who wore the long johns (top & bottoms) to
bed, with the extra blankets on her side, while I stuck a leg out to
keep cool. She came to bed all but shivering, and the first time I
took her hands and said "warm yourself." Later, that could prove to
be ... "entertaining" when I wasn't expecting it. But, "A Man's gotta
do, what a Man's got to do."
