I think the White House, the Democrats, amd their liberal media should all make a pledge to lower their thermostats to a maximum of 60 degrees F as a sign of solidarity with the "Occupy" movement.

In fact, I triple dog dare them. ;-)

[gothelittle]

My winter thermostat is 55F at night, 65F in the day, even if it's 10F outside... because I'm not an OWS protester, a Democrat, or part of the liberal media and I just plain can't afford to keep it warmer!

[marycatelli]

It also allows your internal thermastat to keep its ability to adjust.

I sleep better at night, too. Cave under a pile of blankets and breathe that air. It helps that I share my bed with a space heater... all I have to do is give the space-heater an occasional kick to stop the snoring.

[cutelildrow]

Oooh, yes. Nothing like burrowing into a nearby cuddling source of warmth and enjoy being a total cuddlebug.

[superversive]

Argh.

[cutelildrow]

Mew? What did I say? ;_;

[superversive]

Sorry, it isn’t you, it’s me. Cuddling is not normally a topic that comes up in Our Host’s political posts, and I’m trying not to think about it at all just now. My life has been a cuddle-free zone for nearly three years at the moment, and my personal distress slopped over at the edges.

Carry on, by all means. But please permit me to avert my eyes.

[cutelildrow]

Oh. I'm sorry.

If it helps, I'm in a (very) long distance relationship and haven't seen my other half since early January.

I can't blame him for not being around.

[superversive]

Right, because anyone who disagrees with Your Infinite Preciousness is obviously a monster undeserving of any human affection.

Why do you keep showing off your idiocy?

[jordan179]

She has someone who loves her and wants to marry her. Do you?

[oronoda]

Considering how much you reply to her comments, it seems like you do.

[gothelittle]

That was not only un-called for, it was despicable, and lowers the estimation of your opinion in the eyes of every single person who reads it.

If you ever care about anybody liking the creative work you do (or, indeed, anything you say), you'll have to stop acting like a bully. People have standards, and they will refuse to support an artist, even if he's a really good one, if he's a hateful jerk.

[jordan179]

It was both cruel (because he's making fun of cutelildrow's suffering) and stupid (because he does not know her situation). And Yama should reflect that she can keep someone's love when they must be apart for months: he can't get a girlfriend when he has no responsibilities or limitations separating him from anyone.

[cutelildrow]

The longest time manta_x and I have been apart was somewhat over two years.

We have been a couple for almost eight.

Through those years we've been apart, because of financial difficulties, we've held onto the future we promised we will share. He's missed out on most of our children's lives, working toward the day that we finally live together.

I fell in love with a man, mensch in every sense of the word, one who is not afraid to be a man, nor afraid of being with a strong woman. He is worthy of everything I am - for he is a man who needs not to tear down another person in order to make himself feel strong, a man of principles and steadfast morals. He builds, with his own skill, his own capabilities, his own will, and can stand on his own without support from his parents. I cannot imagine settling for less than the wonderful person that manta_x is.

And he's the one who tells me he is lucky to have met me and won my heart.

So, even though he and yama were born on the same day, he is everything that yama will never be
