I recently got an electric blanket and I’ll never go back. But it’s so hard to move now. I just stay under the blanket, right by my heater.
I have one and a USB hot water bottle. They’ve changed my life
My daughter was telling me about a heated jacket and now I want a whole heated outfit.
You can buy a rechargeable heated shawl as well.
This is the future, sorry gotta charge my shawl!
I had to update my cookware before I could prep my steak some weeks ago.
Saw them at Costco, I want one
Put on more clothes.
As soon as the cold weather starts, I wear long underwear. Yeah, go ahead and call me an old man … but no one ever sees me expect my wife who constantly complains about it being cold in the house. I tell her to put in more clothes but she says she doesn’t want to be an old woman. I keep telling her that I don’t care … as long as you’re warm.
And it always confuses me when people make fun of others wearing long underway … unless someone tells you, you don’t notice.
I’ve been outside in minus 30 degree weather and people around me shivering and asking me how I can stand the cold. I tell them I’m wearing long underwear and they laugh at me.
And the thing is … you can’t tell if someone is wearing long underwear … it’s completely unnoticeable.
wearing long underwear, undershirt, hooded sweater, fleece pjamas: pits are sweaty but hands and feet ice cold.
Im never cold in the house until its about 0 degrees Fahrenheit outside and the house struggles to keep a steady temp. I normally keep the house between 60-62 if its just me and im good. My wife tries to push it to 72 and of course we argue. I say put clothes on and she normally already is lol. Last night she had full sweatsuit outfit on, big insulated slippers, and 2 blankets on and she was sitting there shivering. The kicker was it was 68 in the room and I said you know if this was summer right now you would be comfortable?
You also have to consider barometric pressure and humidity. I find even moderate humidity in winter time combined with low pressure makes it feel miserable, damp and cool … even with a moderate temperature.
20 C in the summer is fine because its moderate humidity, moderate pressure and everything is in equilibrium.
But 20 C in the winter inside a house with a bit high humidity, low pressure makes it feel like the cold is seeping past your skin and into your bones. So the way most people deal with it is to raise the temperature … but it seldom cures the feeling because temperature / humidity / barometric pressure are still not in equilibrium.
The way my family used to deal with it was to turn the house into a literal sauna and raise the temperature to 30 C … I’m Indigenous and this was normal life for me but my wife is non-Indigenous and she gets upset with me if it gets too warm in the house at winter time. I remember camping in the winter time with my dad for hunting / trapping trips in the dead of winter. He’d put on a fire and raise the temperature of the tent or hunt camp up to 40 C or more! I remember one night finding a crack in the wall of a hunt cabin to breathe in cool air because it was so freakin hot inside.
I wish I had a dryer! I’m hanging clothes like it’s 1920 lol
The last idiot never cleaned the lint trap and stared a fire so my landlord is afraid of letting tenants have a dryer…
Where do you live where a landlord can dict what you do in your home?
The US. It’s not my home though, it’s her garage. Rent prices are so absolutely fucking atrocious that a single person can’t even afford to rent a house let alone own one, you need 2 incomes for 1 life… So I rent a garage “apartment.”
Sounds like a third world country, probably the USA
Ding ding ding, winner! Lol
Turn on your gas stove but don’t light it. Will be warm for the rest of your life.
I’ve seen many videos starting like that
That might be a bumpy and disorienting ride. Stick me in the air fryer.
Since last Friday, our boiler has been only starting intermittently. Temperature in the house on most days dropped down below 59° F.
We got the bad ignition control replaced this morning. Now we can go back to the normal state of being just a bit too cool to be comfortable.
lose some weight, and you’ll fit in
