This Christmas, I only want sweaters, sweatsuits, and thick socks.

[Maddy McCall]

I refuse to pay $300/month for heat. I have already told MMjr. to get used to a cool house, and that I don't want to hear him complain that it's too cold when all he has on is boxers and a tee.

If you're planning on visiting the McCall household, you'd better bring your thermals and union suits.

1. Fireplace? Wood Stove?

Just wondering...
BTW how are you; we haven't talked for awhile. Still thankful you came through the hurricane in one piece.

[Maddy McCall]

2. Hey, lild.

Can't do a fireplace or woodstove in my cabin, as much as I'm away. It's almost completely constructed of pine. One spark, and poof. :(

I'm fine. Looking forward to a good Christmas with my fam. How're you doing?

[lildreamer316]

3. Good!

Too bad about the woodstove idea..they are fairly head efficient comparitively. Sweaters and longjohns and LOTS of hot chocolate will have to do I assume!
I am well and so is family; however I still have 5 people to shop for. We are late on the tree too...due to hubby working 6 nights a week. Ah; well..tomorrow is tree and light day.
I hope you have a good and WARM celebration!

4. Have fun putting up the tree and lights.

Yeah, the good part about having a cool house is that I can rationalize drinking three cups of marshmallow-adorned hot chocolate every night. :D

5. Let me go get a pen and paper, Prof !

6. I don't blame you, Maddy

I've turned down my thermostat too. I got a little space heater to sit beside in the evening.

Hey, I figure I'm losing weight too, since it takes more energy to keep me warm. :7

My thermostate is set to 65 in the evening and when I'm not home.

7. Hey,Sweeeeeeeetie!

I saw that "one spark, then poof" comment, but myself, I've got thousands of tea lights for heating fuel. Thousands. I know exactly what you're talking about. I'll send you some extra-thick socks, OK?

8. I'm a firm believer

of long underwear. My silks fit very nicely under my work clothes too!

[KitchenWitch]

10. Careful around floppy discs

just wearing silks can cause just enough static electricity to damage them.

[datasuspect]

9. pertinent!!!! DON'T SAY IT'S COLD

and then walk around half naked.

thanks for saying that. that is one of my major pet peeves.

11. Only $2.49 at Eckerd's

12. Well, we bought 10 of these...

...for the little guy....various sizes and patterns and colors. "Toasty" he says.... when he has one on.

13. I can only hope that my bill is as low as $300.

My house really isn't built for very cold weather, and with my FIL living with us, he gets cold, so I have been running the heat and the logs a lot.

14. we have our heat set at 60 during the day

and in the mid 50's at night. anyone who visits knows enough to bring a sweater or sweatshirt with them.
