Brrrr....

Brrrr.... OK... if it gets any colder my protest against the encroaching winter will have to end. I need to get an indoor temperature gauge so I can figure out what's what. Wouldn't it be cool to "KNOW" what temperature it is, just by how your body feels at the moment? There's one temp: Finger tips, toe tips and nose are cold. Another (where I'm at now): toes, nose, entirety of hands are cold. And body is shivering but only when not thinking of it. If I focus on it... it's not THAT cold. But I shiver when not focusing. It's 42 degrees outside according to my weather app on my computer. I'm protesting winter by not turning on the heater for as long as I can avoid it. A new online friend just pointed out "That always helps". I'm also hanging onto the summer-weather electric bill prices as long as I possibly can. I know... in the battle of Taurus Female vs Mother Nature... Winter *WILL* win. But I can continue to stare, stomp my feet, and refuse to participate a bit longer. |

I certainly don't blame you for stomping your feet and refusing to give in to Mother Nature, but it is good to know that you will eventually have to give in. If you need a cuddle buddy to keep warm, I would gladly volunteer!! Dennis (Idahonuke) To read about myongoing adventures and journey into the lifestyle: [blog Idahonuke]

Not knowing what kind of heating system you have so these suggestions may or may not apply. Can you install a setback thermostat to turn the temp down when you are at work? Can you turn off heat and close the doors on rooms not in use? I turn off the heat and close the door to the bedroom when I leave for work and turn it back on when I get home. I have forgotten to turn it back on a few times and boy is that a rude awakening. I don't have any qualitative results but the electric bill is a smidge lower. AB No Bozos

Staying warm, gauging cold....it's a science and an art. I've worked in the elements my entire life. I remember when I got my first pair of insulated overalls. I had no idea you could be so comfortable out in the winter for so long. The chemical hand warmers looked like something soft people used until I reached age fifty five and I was given some as a gift. I learned I could have warm hands for hours. I used to carry at least two pairs of mittens. I'd wear one pair and store the other pair inside my bibs, next to my chest. When the pair I was wearing got cold, I'd switch them out and warm the cold pair. On the freight dock you'd see men bent behind a fork lift, warming their hands and gloves with the exhaust. Many times, skiing with my Malemutes, I'd stop and bury my hands in the fur on their bellies- it's wonderfully warm in there. At all costs, you have to stay dry.
