To reduce my heater use, I tucked an electric pillow into the bottom of my bed. Somehow, having warm feet translates into the rest of me being more cold-resistant, and the electricity bill was correspondingly lower this winter!<BR/><BR/>Air conditioning, I just have to wear. It's the Western Australian summer, and it's intolerable to most human organisms. Without the aircon, I end up completely bedridden and whimpering.lauredhelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956045585913161846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-56649150133439810692008-12-03T14:17:00.000-06:002008-12-03T14:17:00.000-06:00Living in a house, I'm always worried about gettin...Living in a house, I'm always worried about getting that gas bill. So I set my heater on 70 degrees. Now if it's 70 outside, that's nice. You can wear a t-shirt and feel comfortable. Apparently inside the house 70 degrees is artic cold if you ask my husband. He thinks I'm freezing the kids to death. Granted - it's probably more like 68 degrees, but dang....put on a sweatshirt!

One of the great selling points of south Florida is that the two seasons are the summer and not-summer, but right now it's in the fifties and I'm hating it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192537713607428731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-71225879479917238952008-12-02T23:16:00.000-06:002008-12-02T23:16:00.000-06:00See, I'm that way about air-conditioning!See, I'm that way about air-conditioning!ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867952598756889997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408862.post-80425687412126062572008-12-02T22:14:00.000-06:002008-12-02T22:14:00.000-06:00I live in graduate student housing right now, wher...I live in graduate student housing right now, where heat is included in rent, and my heat is always on with no regrets.
