What To Put the Thermostat On

It's 55 degrees outside
no heat on in the house
My feet in blanket I do hide
the gauge I need to browse

At times we turn the heater on
then quickly turn it off
My husband likes it to be warm
I just sit and cough

Though cigarettes doth hinder
this I don't dismiss
To cease the falling cinder
can leave heat where it is

Back to the dilemma
of my feet again
Blame this on global warming
Tobaccos favorite sin

Which goes back to my question
in the title of this piece
What to put the thermostat on
This madness has to cease

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/5/2020 8:24:00 PM It is madness; I live in Kansas. Last week we had a 40 degree drop overnight! Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/6/2020 12:18:00 PM It's a little crazy here to. Hopefully soon the weather will even out. :)

Eve Roper Date: 10/4/2020 3:27:00 PM My air-conditioned is always set at 74 at all time just perfect temp. A dilemma you are in . Enjoyed reading. Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/4/2020 7:20:00 PM 74 seems like a good temperature. We may have to work something out. :)

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 10/4/2020 5:42:00 AM - "Tobacco favorite sin" ... there is no place that is legal to smoke in Norway ... not even in their own home (but no control) - But, enjoying alcohol is ok ... abusing his wife a taboo .. .. let the kids see all this madness is completely normal .... I get hot just thinking about it ... turn off the heat, Angela :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 10/5/2020 11:10:00 AM - The shops sell the cigarette (it's legal) - But they are behind locked cabinets that no one can see through - All have the same color ... almost black ... 20 cigarettes: about 15 dollars Eve Roper Date: 10/4/2020 3:24:00 PM Sunshine, I've learned something today, thank you. Angela Crabtree Date: 10/4/2020 10:45:00 AM I didn't know that cigarettes were illegal anywhere. Wow. Interesting. Thank you, Anne-Lise for reading and commenting. :)

Elaine George Date: 10/4/2020 4:51:00 AM Yes! It is getting to be that time of year again. It seems where I live in southern Ontario, Canada we go from air conditioning...straight to a heater. I am sure you will find the solution. Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/4/2020 10:48:00 AM Thanks, Elaine. :) It does that here sometimes too with the seasons. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 10/3/2020 11:29:00 PM You have to find a middle solution. Pity it seems the heater has no regulator? I prefer to keep warm. ~~ Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 10/4/2020 10:49:00 AM We'll get it figured out, eventually. :) Thanks for reading and commenting.
