Those are great



I'm freezing and I can't seem to get warm. I spoke to someone about winterizing the house and mentioned my aspirin bottle is ice cold when I get it down from the cabinet...they told me that means my walls aren't insulated. I thought it was just the attic. The landlord seems to think 2" is just fine up there.


Ever the optimist...on the bright side my bedroom is right above the heating unit so it's always warm and toasty. But on the bad side, I'd prefer it was switched. I prefer to sleep in a cooler room and spend my day in a warmer one. Brrrr....shit! Now I know why everyone went to bed so early in the pioneer days

Yeah, I been there, too! Rainy season (summer) in Fla. is not much better - very depressing. Cutting grass every week.

Ah, humans....never satisfied, are we?

We're resisting the temptation to turn on the AC - it's December, for crap's sake!
