It's getting c-c-c-cold

Shawnee123 · 09-30-2009, 07:43 AM

Those of you in similar climates (it's been in the 40s in the a.m. and not getting quite up to 60 in the daytime)...have you turned on your furnaces yet?

I don't mind the chill, I wear warm clothes and I have a down comforter...but that getting out of the shower part might just kill me!

How many of you have your heat going already?

Turn the heat on in September?! No way. It could be snowing outside and I wouldn't be able to force myself to turn the heat on in September.

By the way, this proves global warming is a crock.

I know...it seems awful to turn the heat on already. But I hate being cold.

I just turned OFF the air conditioners (to be fair, I get no air circulation in my place.)

I miss summer already.

global schmobal...it sure isn't warm!

Shawnee - this weather is Perfect!

Shawnee123 · 09-30-2009, 08:10 AM

It is nice...to an extent.

I'm a summer girl, though. Bring on the heat.

Trilby · 09-30-2009, 08:12 AM

I perfer the season of death.

The only heater on here is Diz's warming mat, but that works on body pressure.

But Mum was shivering while cooking my lunch today (not a usual occurrence, see the Happy thread) so I expect the heating will be on far sooner than I would like. I'm a very hot person, and love nothing better than snuggling into Winter clothes and feeling the burn in my face & fingers. Sadly - despite what the 'rents think - we live in a temperate climate. We have nothing like the extremes you have in the US. I doubt there'll be more than 20 days below freezing (32) before the year turns into Spring again.

Still, Mum & Dad have a couple of Autumn house-sits coming up. OFF goes the heating! Yay!

I had oil delivered yesterday.....will have the heater guys out to do the annual service soon.....

Shawnee123 · 09-30-2009, 08:18 AM

Yeah, I should probably have my furnace given a once-over. Thanks for the reminder.

lumberjim · 09-30-2009, 08:19 AM

don't want to end up with CO poisoning. Lord knows you'll get no sympathy around here if you do.

mwuh huu huu

"Did you hear? Shaw died from CO poisoning."

"Fucking attention whore."

It's a hard call in between seasons. I get chilly then turn on the furnace and realize it's too hot. I do the same with the ng fireplace too.

Shawnee - get a bathroom fan/heater combination. Unless you have a huge bathroom, a couple minutes of this will warm you right up.

Shawnee123 · 09-30-2009, 09:19 AM

My bathroom is extremely small, but that's a good idea...find a small one so I don't keep running into it.
