anyone else cold?

[mallory]

I can hardly stand the cold, and it'd getting colder every day here in Utah.  I sit at my desk and shiver all day, it's freezing in my office.  So then I put on my coat and everyone thinks I'm going home.  My fingers are so cold and numb and the ends of my fingers turn all purplish (is that a word, purplish?). 

It's going to be a long winter!

Boy, can we ever relate to the "cold issue" around here.  My dad is always complaining that he's freezing and i'm going thru menopause, so sweating most of the time.  He'll turn the heat up to where our house is in the 80's all the time, then I turn it down...back and forth, back and forth.  He also wears a sweater every day and I've piled blankets on and he's still COLD!!  Any suggestions?  LOL?

We need to swap countries, because this summer is going to be awful!

[Joe Paul]

Well, send some cold my way, please!   I am in the Caribbean where it is NEVER cold, and I love cold.  Even with the A/C in our unit, sometimes I still feel hot.  I am looking forward to December when it gets a bit cooler.

I think we all need to move to Bajanne's.

Short of patricide, no. (kidding)

[lakrimn]

If I'm cold at the unit I usually only have to wait a half hour then the a/c freezes up then we all start sweating together.(bliss/joy)

Hi, everyone,
You really ought to try FL.
Everywhere is FREEZING cold with the AC's set to about 50.

The dialysis unit I go to is the same.  I have to bring a blanket to keep from freezing.

It was great when I was younger, I could handle very cold weather in a tee shirt
but not now.

Take care,
Randy in Clearwater, FL

Randy, That's the weirdest thing.  I travel for business to Ft. Lauderdale and to Phoenix (from Utah).  I swear that the hotter the temperature is in a city, the colder they keep the air conditioning in the buildings.  I go to meetings at hotels or at our business and the rooms are about 50 degrees.  Then you step outside (especially in Phoenix in about July...) and it's 120.  It's awful!  I don't know how you stand it!  I'd have to dress in a lot of layers so I could put clothes on and take them off as I went in and out of the buildings.

PLEEEEEEEEEEASE send some cold over here!!! OMG it was soo hot today, and its not even summer yet! I am dreading the temperatures that are to come. Any hotter than today and I will probably collapse. Spend half the day in bed and on the lounge. Just couldnt move. Looks like its time to get the swimmers out and hit the pool.....ALL DAY!!!

Are you kidding me!!! Dont complain about 80...come over here coz in summer it gets to 105 and beyond!!!

[angieskidney]

here when it is summer it gets so unbearably humid I can handle the heat since the hottest it's ever been was 104°F (That was rare) but usually no higher than 96°F .. it is the humidity that I can't stand

[jbeany]

Cold inside, outside, under the covers, it doesn't matter, I'm always cold.  I know part of it is the anemia and the kidney failure, but part of it is just genetic.  My sister is the same way, and my mother used to crank up the woodstove until the house was 85 degrees.

I'm sitting in front of an electric ceramic heater right now, while I'm typing this.  I have one in the kitchen, the craft room, and the bathroom.  I'd get some for the bedroom and the living room, but I've got electric blankets for those rooms instead.

[angieskidney]

Ya I have my electric heater on right now too as today it actually SNOWED!!

The only problem is the other electric heater I had I can't use because it keeps blowing a fuse in this smaller apartment I was forced to move to 4 months ago

[Panda_9]

Thankfully it has been pleasant this week and it just started to rain, well sort of anyway. Knew I should of put the washing under the patio LOL

[Sluff]

I used to like the colder weather but for some reason I'm extremely cold especially my feet and hands. I have been using a heating pad on my feet all week. I don't know if it's my circulation or what, I have never shivered before as I do now. I'm turning into a wimp.

Angie
Have you tried putting the other heater on a surge protector. It might just be blowing fuses because it over powers your electrical system.  This way when it shuts out you just have to push a button.   (I think this might work)

Wimp?? Wimp??  if that is the case, your the coolest and most generous "wimp" i know (other than Epoman that is)    and the same here, i USED to love the cold, now i shiver so much my body gets sore,  i hate it!!!

[kitkatz]

Being cold makes me sore ,too. I hate it.  The winter months are upon us now.  Brrr! And I live in sunny California and have no reason to gripe!

No thanks.  I am cold enough already. My daughter, who is in college, in Wisconsin, says she does not want to hear about it when I say I am cold.  She says the wind chill factor makes it really chilly over there.
