I know you’re overweight and menopausal, but I’m neither. Why does it have to be 69 degrees in our office??
It’s almost winter and you have the a/c on while I’m wearing 3 layers and using a blanket. I’m trying really hard to accommodate you by wearing the warmest clothes possible, but this is getting ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to wear my winter coat inside!!—Pingu the Penguin

I bought a Pingu DVD while in London for 3 pounds 😀 Although I can’t watch it in North America, I couldn’t resist it <3
we rented them from the library, don’t know if they still have them. i have a whole bunch in the basement in my tickle trunk…vhs tho
You don’t have a little boy living in a tree in your backyard do you Painey? Ya knows I luvs ya, but that would be, well, – unsettling. ♥Squak♥
teehee, no admiral just a bunch of noisy corbies…rawk. i liked the friendly giant more^^
Me too. I always liked concert day in the music room.
You do know that 69 degrees equates to 20.9 degrees celcius, right OP? Seriously, anything over 20 is wasting energy.
i am very frugal with the heat…put a sweater on. twenty degrees—>pure luxury
hey pingy, you just get yourself another scuttle of coal for that fire there, or, get a small heater for under your desk, if you have one.
buy her a shawl (better yet a death shawl) 🙂
buy a Snuggie ! LMAO
Just give her the old NOOT NOOT!!!
Think you’ve got it bad? Try sleeping with a menopausal woman who insists on leaving the bedroom window open with a fan blowing over the bed in the middle of January!
Hot flashes my ass! She’s trying to kill me! Last winter I felt like part of the Franklin Expedition (and none of them made it out alive).
Lol, that’s funny C.E.
My piano teacher started to get hot flashes toward the end of my piano career. Worst (temp related) time of my life. I’d start playing and she’d say “oh my it’s warm in here, I’ll open a window” NO, NO it’s not. It’s Jan. -10, you’re in a tank top, you have a fan in front the window, and I’m about to fall over frozen solid. Unreal.
82 is where its at 😉
She’s in heat….lol. Get her spayed.
That’s the whole point of menopause, dummy ^^
I sleep with a fan on every night regardless of time of year…I’m just too warm otherwise. Been doing it for about 6-7 years? I blame living in an embalming room with no heat for 12 years before hand, though. Too used to the cold at night.
the bear is a heating pad and we have lots of cozy blankets but when he’s fallen asleep i yank the window open and leave my feet out. too much sleeping outdoors when i was wee, i love the cold air on my face…snooze
I prefer warm and snuggily myself, but not from hot air being blown in my face! Gimme some flannels, a warm form next to me and a two dog, two cat night! Wheee! Good times in TBR’s bedroom! Woot!
saweet sleeping rosie/monty et al. the goofasaurus sleeps on his futon and the demontard roams about^^
What is this fahrenheit bullshit!
