I think the worst thing about winter is heat. I hate the smell of heat, the feel of heat, and the stuffiness of heat. I enjoy a cold house. I rarely turn my heat on. In fact, when I woke up this morning it was 56 degrees in my house. Ahhh!! I slept like a baby. If it gets really cold outside, I will set the heat to maybe 65 degrees but never warmer. I do not understand people that set their heat to 80 degrees or even 70 degrees. Heat breeds germs! Why don't more people enjoy a cool house? I am also quite opinionated so if your house is hot, I am going to tell you, even if it is none of my business. People that like heat irritate me to no end. I can't help it. I mean I understand if you have children in the house, I guess you do need some heat...but still it does not need to be on 76 degrees.
I am the same way in the summer. The a/c should never be set higher than 68 degrees in the south.
I can not stand to shop in stores either in the winter because they are so hot. It drives me crazy. OK, I feel better for venting. Now go turn youre heat either off or down. Come on people, it is not that cold out there. Go on...what are you waiting for...turn it down. I promise you will sleep like a baby.
I keep my thermostat on 68 degrees, sometimes lower, and I keep a window in my bedroom opened a tiny bit. I just bought a down comforter, so I want the house to be cold. Besides, it helps keep the gas bill low! This summer, I set the A/C to 78, and my highest electric bill was $130.
