if you can't stand the heat

I'm unsure how effective this poll is going to be because I'm not entirely certain that forced air/furnaces/gas is used everywhere for heating one's home. Here, it is the most common, but a lot of older homes have radiators or electric baseboard heat

*looks supicious* What's all this foreign looking Faherenheit business? I don't know whether that's hot or cold :)

LOL sorry. I just edited in the conversions. /failing

I kept the temperature a lot lower when I was living away from home and subscribed to the thoery that you can’t complain of being cold if you haven’t got a vest on. Now I am back at home, I sneak down and turn the heating up a notch if I get cold. :D But then again, I’m the one with my bedroom windows open well into October because my room gets really stuffy otherwise.

Hee! When I lived at home, I would get so mad at my mom for keeping the thermostat set really low. She is *always* hot, therefore the rest of us had to freeze. My bedroom was on a corner though too, so I had two exterior walls and windows; it was always sooooo cold. Now that I pay my own bills, I turn that puppy down if I get the tiniest bit warm. :D

My mum’s got thin blood so she’s always had the heating on once it starts getting cold but my dad throws a spanner in the works by having weird sleeping patterns. He’ll turn it on at 1 in the morning and everyone else will wake up sweating. Then when everyone else is getting up at 7ish, it’s freezing cold and it’s an absolute pain.

It always seems that everyone in a house is never the same. :/
