@Pearlee.  Did you flush your outhouse?

@Kachina624  I don't have an outhouse. Perhaps you do.

@Pearlee    Are you referring to dripping your faucets to prevent frozen pipes and turning on your heat? We may have to drip the outdoor spigots next week in North GA.

@50Mickey  No, it's not nearly that cold here today, in the mid-50s.

I'm referring to something mundane and routine and not at all noteworthy per the thread title.

So you're saying you don't like this thread?  I found it interesting that many like their homes on the cool side, as I do.

@KKJ  I don't like it or dislike it. Just following the thread title / theme.

Turned furnace on at end of October since it went down into the low 30's at night.  Thermostat at 68.

Couldn't stand temps in the 50's or even low 60's.  I could dress warm, but when our hands and noses are cold, I know the temperature is too low in the house.

We keep the heat between 68-70 during the day and 60 at night. We feel we've worked too hard in our lives to be uncomfortable over something we have control over. A/C in summer is set to 72-74 during the day.

We keep ours at 68, someties we still get hot and cold.

I don't need or use any heat here in southeast Florida. It has been steadily in the lower to mid 80's in the daytime, dropping to low 70's at night. I keep my thermostat at 75 degrees. We will get a cooler spell for a few days next week, then bounce back up. As we move into January, I use the A/C less. It rarely drops to 50 at night then.

Here in North Texas the thermostat is set at 68 for heat (gas furnace) and 75 for A/C. I turn on the heat each season when the toilet seats get cold -- that's my sign! LOL

Ceiling fans on during the summer. I have a Duraflame infrared fireplace stove thingy in the sunroom for cooler weather and it's quite cozy set at 66.

[MalteseMomma]

OMG!!!! Mine is set at 73!

Thats as cool as I can get............

Furnace has been since late October when the nights cooled off.  No really high bills yet.

Our thermostat is set at 68. I always have socks on in the winter. If my feet are cold I am not comfortable.

My DH's one brother and his wife like a cold bedroom. The close the heat registers in their bedroom and have an open window all winter. I went to their house years ago and my SIL yelled to come upstairs she was making the bed. I opened the door and a blast of cold air hit me. You could see your breath.

They are insane. I could never sleep like that. It was walking in a meat locker.
