Your Friendly Neighborhood Iceman

I don't really like the cold and I get cold very easily. I am actually amazed that some people think that 68 degrees (F) is room temperature. As far as I'm concerned 72 degrees (F) is room temperature.

Between 68 and 70, I am noticeably less comfortable. Take it down to 65 and I really start to wonder how long I will be able to maintain circulation in my extremeties.

But once you take it below 60, I'm pretty cold, but it's not SO bad. I just think that if it's that cold it might just as well be a little colder because I'll still be very cold.

I have trouble distinguishing between upper 50's and the lower 30's.

So, I go out running in my shorts and t-shirt like I always do because I think, "Well, I ran in this yesterday and it was like 50 and it's sort of 50. What's a little rain." Of course, this is very dangerous, so I do try to exercise some intellectual caution about doing those things, but my body isn't telling me not to do that.

Curious is all.

It was so cold this morning that my testicles ascended.

Get yourself a thermometer. Don't take any chances with the family jewels.

I agree,72 is perfect.I just called my gas company because our bill was weird...they told me to keep the thermostat during the day at 68 and at night between 63 and 65.
Might as well NOT turn it on at all then and get rid of it.....
