Passed by a wind farm
Not a single one was turning

Why do you need the whole house heated? Just stay in bed while you sleep.

I sleep about 7 hours a day. What the hell am I supposed to do to keep warm the other 17 hours? I am miserable any time tat it is below 72 degrees. I am cold if it is below 78 degrees.

It is 72 degrees in my house right now and I am wearing a long sleeved shirt with a sweatshirt over it and I am under a blanket on my couch waiting for the hockey game to start. I am still cold.

No, every time that I get something checked they cut it out.

Even a couple years ago when my blood pressure was regularly 190/145 I was cold.
