    It snowed her Saturday and I didn't turn the heat on, I guess I have good insulation. I did turn it on Monday overnight but it's been off since then.
    When I was a dormatory director the building I lived in had two heat settings On and Off and no one in the building including me had any control over it. Heat was steam/hot water radiators. Some rooms were luckly in that their valves worked and they could turn them off but the feed and return pipes were still there. In some rooms on the first floor the floors were so hot you had to wear shoes or it would burn your feet. In just about all rooms had fans in the windows blowing in and it was below freezing outside.

      It was like 85 or something today. It's a bit insane.
      Let's here it for more insanity!

        We keep the thermo set at 63-65 during the winter. I had a roommate that kept it set at 75. I thought I would roast. It killed my sinuses, too. I am so glad that DH likes the same room temp as me.

          A bit chilly today (20s) might have to crank the heat to 65...*sigh* dang gas bills

              I'mm because I identify with you. I'm afraid to go above 65 because of what it'll do to my electric bill. Sad, isn't it?

                I love my geothermal heat pump. Keeps the house at a constant 67F all year, and lets me kick back and not worry about gas or electric bills because of how it's designed.

                Also, for a house with the 'new part' having been built in 1902, there's some cold spots (near doors, and the north wall), but overall the place is very comfy. And big.

                  Thermostat is set at 50 fahrenheit, but it is much toastier than that as I made french onion soup on the woodstove yesterday, and we have a beef stew starting for today. Tomorrow is going to be lasagne made in the baking oven portion of the woodstove

                  outside is about 6 inches of snow, and a deleriously happy husky playing in said snow, and grumpy chickens hiding in their coop.

                    There is something wrong with my heat.....downstairs is an ice box, upstairs is too warm.....and I cannot control the heat on diff floors. Look like I'm getting a space heater

                      It's 7 degrees outside and my heater only works when it feels like it. Management thinks that if they just relight the pilot light and leave it'll be fine... Yeah, doesn't work. Normally I stick it at around 68. I'm cheap and have a low tolerance for heat. The bf likes it warmer then I do, but he knows I'll kill him if he turns it up.
