It's 54 in here.
I had my first hot coffee at dunkin donuts this year.

i'm going to get one of those electric room heaters to see if it saves me money.
last winter I had to seal off all of my windows with plastic and somehow ended up paying almost 400 a month for a few months in a row

my heat has a life of it's own

it turned on over the weekend while I was away

oh well, shit is free for me.

ugh already did. we have a pretty good set up though and get alot of our heat from the floor below.

free heat, electricity, and water.

the perks of living in an ancient apartment building not originally meant to be an apartment...so they have no way of measuring it.

I still have the AC blasting.
the song "I lit your baby on fire" to be exact.

my apartment has a 40 year old heating apparatus.

in other words... my apartment has no heat. it's gonna be a COLD winter. wicked pissah.

quite a nice perk from das juden.

i live on the 3rd floor of a 3-decker, we can shut and lock the windows and gather heat from the 2 floors below us, wear a sweatshirt and go all winter without turning it on once. last year we fired it up twice for the hell of it.

NEVAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!

i enjoy the cold, so i am happy about winter.....on the rare occasion that i get too cold, me and the woman get warm with blankets and body heat, we only tun the heat on if it's gonna be cold enough to freeze the pipes.

The temperature differences are so drastic around here. It'll be 40 in the morning, but by the afternoon it's 75 this time of year. I'm not even sure if the heat works anyway.

yeah, that does get pretty annoying

no less than a minute ago i was like "hunh, what's that smell?" and then realized it was my housemate turning the heat on. sooo choice, can't wait for that bill in the mail.

i think im gonna burn some firewood

My landlord switched us from oil to gas over the summer, and boosted a rent a slight bit to offset the cost...hopefully we don't get fucked by it.

Worst case scenario, I still have a working fireplace and long johns.

I need to get my dad to bring a load of wood.

A nice cold night with some good food and a nice movie and bed!!!!! Not walking a dog in the middle of the night or am when it is fucken cold as hell !!!

I'll be starting to split fire wood this weekend, so we don't have to turn on our heat. Good thing I enjoy splitting wood.

Been burning the woodstove for a week now....

I pretty much seal up the house with plastic,close down the double parlor
for the winter and lock myself in between my bedroom ,computer room
and kitchen...using a space heater and the oven for heat. I use my oil
only if it gets unbearable and for showers. I made it through last winter
without getting raped too brutally by the oil company.

I'm on the 3rd floor too but I get no heat from below me. I'm pissed.

Two days ago. I couldn't feel my toes.

I used to be cold

it was 51 when I woke up this morning. then again, I still have a cat door that is wide open to the outside.

there it is, mcgunk. the smartest thing you'll ever say and you've already annoyed too many people for them to think it's funny.

i probably won't turn it on until the temp starts dipping into the 10's, or at least January. we are using space heaters. it is indeed going to be a long ass winter.

it can't possibly be worse than the orne st. apartment where a $400 bill did nothing and we had to sleep in layers with multiple blankets.

yeah its like Hell in my house compared to that.

then again we did have beer boxes replacing windows.

one window.

Winter is relief in the South.

I used to ruin everyones post

I turned on the heat in the bathroom a couple days ago, set to 60.
when I came in today... it was 46 so I lit a fire.
time to seal up the sliders and clean out the filters.

i use a plug-in space heater in my bathroom and the window's covered with plastic because it rotted out of the frame. cool huh?

Turned it on a few times in the last 2 weeks.

yesterday there was ice on the toilet in my house. the cold is also changing the consistency of the dish soap in my kitchen.

I don't think the thermostat even works in my apartment. It actually got up to almost 60 today, but here I am at home and I can't even wear short sleeves for being too cold.

this is my second day wearing pants. I gave up and the heat is now on. I'm working on sealing up the leaky doors

It was 17 degrees this morning at my house and I don't think it got out of the low 30s up there today. Fucking right the heat is on.

I was just down at the harbor in portsmouth with the dog. holy fuck cold.

only bills i pay are electric and cable

didn't have the heat on last night... three layers of clothes and a couple layers of blankets. Perfect!
