Mine unconsciously takes every single sheet/blanket on the bed and makes a cocoon out of them if she thinks it's cold...including my blanket. The 25-pound blanket is an experiment, to see if it also gets wrapped into the cocoon.

I did manage to get the thing stuffed into its duvet cover about an hour ago, after watching a half dozen YouTube tutorials until I found someone's technique that actually worked. After all of the wrestling, I'm convinced that "duvet" is a French joke word that means some type of chinese finger trap for us dumb Americans.....

Or the dishwasher. Or anything that will make noise after 10PM.

PS - if anyone thinks I'm a bully, I'm not. She gets her way with most things. The temp is one thing where I get my way, and that's just the way it is. Besides, she's always got me to keep her warm.

My ex and his son used to cry like little girls that they were cold. And this is while they were walking around the house in shorts and T shirts. Stop your crying and put on a long sleeve shirt. It’s easier to warm up than cool off. I told them I would stab them if they touched the thermostat. Do not mess with a woman with hot flashes.

Definitely easier to warm up than cool off.

You would stab them - that's funny.

Can't say I know what the hot flashes are like, unless I've been going through them my whole life because it seems I'm always too warm.

Wife went through menopause but still always complained about being cold.

Considering ex was a cop and he had a gun, yes it was funny. And I was being gracious at 69 F. Now with no one to complain, I’m at 66 heat downstairs and 63 F upstairs at night. And I still kick the covers off and back on all night long.

When I had a functional heart, I thought the same thing. With weak circulation since the ticker packed it in, the blood is already cold by the time it reaches the extremities. I've gone from someone who used to attend Bills games in Buffalo in a jacket to the old person who has ice-cold feet wearing thermal socks in the house.

I refuse to buy electric socks or an electric blanket, because I'm not *that* old yet.....

Sounds like you're cooler than the other side of the pillow!

You know you're old when new movies are remakes of remakes which you watched in your teens OR it's the same recycled storyline.

Yes, I would regret it! I'd honestly rather walk in snow barefoot than wear slippers of any kind inside the house.....

I do walk in the snow barefoot (taking out the trash etc.) and don't even own slippers.

You sound like me. I'm the guy with the AC on 67 at night. When I am up north, no heat at night and sometimes crack the window in the winter for fresh cold air.

When you pointed out that the young whippersnapper is the same age as your daughter, it could have also been interpreted that you were trying to set them up. I can't believe that my sisters were the only girls in the country who had every new boyfriend subjected to the shotgun warning speech by my father the first time that he met them.....

Haha... yeah, my daughter's been married several years now so I wouldn't be trying to set her up with anybody. Her husband probably wouldn't like that too much.

Besides, I kinda like him. He treats her well and he's not a bad guy. If he didn't treat her well then I might need the shotgun.

Was really just telling the youngster above I have a daughter who is 40 so get off our lawns.
