Stop your whining, ya lubber.
This morning it was 60 degrees inside the house. That might not seem TOO cold to those of you with shag carpeting, but we have wood floors throughout the first floor, with the exception of some crappy linoleum in the kitchen. (Said crappy linoleum is soon to be replaced by tiles of my choosing, although Bryan doesn't know it yet. Shhhhh!)
I woke up with Bryan standing over me in long johns, wool socks, a knit hat and a sweatshirt. He was shivering and wanted to know if it was time to turn the furnace on yet. I'm not so much a morning person, and my response to him was "stop being a pussy and suck it up." I also demanded breakfast.
I'm holding out on turning up the furnace this year. I've decided that I am a true Clevelander and that I will at least stick it out through Halloween. Thanksgiving, if I'm REALLY tough. I will not be the first to give in to the weather! I will overcome! A year of parking 1/4 of a mile away from my office and having to walk along Lake Erie in the freezing wind and rain has really given me perspective on "cold." This? Pah! This is nothing.

You must have that new-fangled thing called insulation. My furnace is currently funning, and no -- that's no euphemism.
Garvin does make a damn good breakfast though.
Steph, you are three kinds of tough.
Right now, I am tending the wood furnace, and have been doing so, on and off, since the last week of September.
well that is no fun, now if you told us something about curtains i could make a funny comment. but this you leave me nothing.
