I failed this year. House dropped to 63 on Saturday morning. Put it on to take the chill off.

Is ok. I've been resisting the urge to turn it on for the mornings. It's been hard.

I’m back in New England this year, for a year, after 15 years in NYC. My stamina is shot.

Yes, but be careful with that rule. I learned the hard way when I set my house on fire last time I tried it.

Who knew hardwood floors were flammable? Man, the fire department was pissed at me.

I try to do that, but I have Raynaud's. My fingers and toes get so cold so fast, even with thick socks, slippers and sweatshirts. I'm keeping all my digits, even if it means spending a little bit more in heating costs.

I don't blame you for that. I have a friend that has it, and it is no bueno.
