| ____________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 10:34am - FuckIsMySignature ""] have they invented Snuggie electric blankets yet? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 10:36am - dreadkill ""] i can't afford to turn the heat on this winter |

| _________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:01am - xmikex ""] electric heater on lowest possible setting so it doesn't blow a fuse. apartment's oil heater on empty because the oil prices are too damn high. or you're a pussy. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:02am - RustyPS should be working ""] Ron Swanson calls you all a bunch of pussies [img] |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:05am - largefreakatzero ""] Gas fireplace on/off periodically. Haven't kicked on the furnace yet, but soon. Low of 25 up here tonight with snow in the forecast. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:10am - GUYnli ""] no way im turning it on before thanksgiving |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:12am - brian_dc ""] monitoring the snake's tank, but not close to caving yet. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:17am - Goatrider ""] Probably turning my room's heater on tonight. ... Though, there's something really charming about smoking a bowl in bright red pajama pants while crouched over like Gollum and draped in bedsheets. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:19am - AndrewBastard ""] LOL ^^ |
| _________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:26am - xmikex ""] Ron Swanson will be dropping off canvas sheets to all your houses. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:28am - AndrewBastard ""] I love walking into my room in the winter cause both my cats are obvious lumps under my comforter...as soon as I walk in they start moving around and trying to find their way out from under so they can greet me...(by greet, I mean bug me for food) |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:37am - arktouros ""] the bedrooms stay pretty warm and all my electronics help, the rest of the house gets pretty cold. but fuck that, wear layers, drink heavily. it's not even decembuary yet. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 11:37am - Ridahs ""] Still not on, roommates are poor as fuck and I refuse to front the money, don't trust them to pay me back. Our Landlord sucks and never put insulation in a new section of wall in the front, so not only do we leak heat but the snow on the eave melts from all the heat loss and leaks back in. And the landlord was somehow a contractor for all his life? We got them seals for the window, and I'm going to have to shove some sort of blockage into the back door because, again, our land lord sucks and there is a good two inch gap under the back door between the floor. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 2:47pm - Permafrost ""] we sealed our windows already, but our thermostats are FUCKED. first floor is permanently on 80ºF, and we can't get the second floor one to work at all....though i'd almost rather bundle up than risk dealing with a sauna up here. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 2:58pm - Pires ""] Moved into a house that uses oil instead of nat gas. Now, we're looking at alternatives for heat. I'd rather blow $200 on one of those electric heaters, then piss through oil every 4-5 weeks. But like it was stated above, it's only October. The heat ain't being turned on until December. FUCK. THAT. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 3:25pm - Yeti ""] i moved into a house where the heat isn't included, so i have no idea what to expect for oil. i'm not going to risk it though, i have layers, and my cats have fur. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 27,2011 3:28pm - ark ""] buying oil sucks. don't do it. seal your windows and doors. cats can handle themselves just fine. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 3:34pm - AndrewBastard ""] if you tack up heavy sheets or a comforter or something like that over your windows it keeps the heat in and cold out like a mofo... it also keeps out sunlight...but we dont get too much of that in the winter anyways so FUCK IT, AMIRITE? |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 3:39pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Still wearing shorts a few days out of the week, tossing the comforter off of me when I go to bed and putting the windows down when I drive. I don't care if I ever turn the heat on, but when the ladyfriend stays over I may have to since she shivers in 60 degree weather. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 6:45pm - demondave ""] only turning your heat on while air conditioners are still in the windows is new england ...err i mean .. is real |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 7:33pm - AMOROK666 ""] Other than a small space heater my girlfriend brought over last year, I haven't turned on heat in like 3 years. Buy a sweatshirt ladies. |

I'd rather blow $200 on one of those electric heaters, then piss through oil every 4-5 weeks. But like it was stated above, it's only October. The heat ain't being turned on until December. FUCK. THAT. Get a Holmes electric quartz heater for $50 or $60, heat up the room you're in, and save ridiculous amounts of money. Our house has an oil heat setup and we never use it, except when it's one of the five or ten coldest days of the year and the electric heaters in our house can't do it on their own. If we were using our oil tank all year instead of quartz heaters, our heating bills would be 2-3 times what they are now, and we'd be fucked. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 8:22pm - frankovhell ""] Eh i have a wood stove and wood is cheap and plentiful where i live. Fuck being uncomfortable while i play video games. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 27,2011 8:29pm - Mark_R ""] I came home today and it was on. I actually tried to turn mine off, hopefully I turned the knob in the right direction. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 3:19am - Ridahs ""] Bitch ass female roommate turned it on before she went to bed. Turned that shit off, plan on making it a thermostat war. I don't understand why people turn on the heat as soon as it snows, it's still 60 in here without the oil on! I think I'm going to have to go dad style and have the thermostat talk. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 3:25am - frankovhell ""] Just for the record I live further north in NH than most of you masshole pussies. It was 23 here tonight.. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 4:50am - the_reverend ""] I need to clean my chimney before I can burn wood. |

| ______________________________ [Oct 28,2011 8:08am - Yeti ""] there's an inch or so here. fuck, i don't mind the cold and snow, but good lord, it was 80 2 weeks ago. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 9:11am - largefreakatzero ""] They're talking about a possible Nor'easter this weekend. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 9:13am - Alx_Casket ""] Bring it, I want to see all the halloween whores getting frostbite on their bits and pieces. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 9:14am - the_reverend ""] sexy frost bite victims. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 5:49pm - Ridahs ""] 8-12 inches of snow in So Central NH/Western MA tomorrow night. Does this mean we get to make snow jack o' Lanterns and pour fake blood all over the snow banks for Halloween? |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 5:59pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] on last night :( |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 28,2011 6:00pm - the_reverend ""] I'm going to clean my chimney out and burn some wood. |
