So my dad went into the hospital today... |
|
Nothing big - he's just getting a new plastic & titanium bionic knee.
Anyway - I'm over at his house checking things out & bringing the mail in, and I notice it's rather warm. I look at the thermostat & he's got it going at 70 degrees! I usually don't keep my house any warmer than 63 this time of year.
Am I crazy, or am I just a cheap-ass bastard?

1. Older people can have circulatory problems, and are often colder |

2. That depends where you live |

To be honest, I keep my house at 70 in the winter, and 80 during the summer. I live in one of the western states. 63?, I wear sweats!

and I'm shivering. Been that way all my life.
80 to 90 is pretty comfortable. 100 is a little on the warm side.

when she was living with us and she would turn that thermostat up to 76 all the time when we weren't looking. Finally got her a heater for her room and settled for keeping the rest of the house at 72. Older folks can't take the cold.
