My brother had classmates who were coached by Wally though. Or you may play on a team and for example they still use the uniform Eric Lindros wore (we're cheap in Canada, usually keep the sweaters year after year). Living on the same street as a former NHLer isn't that uncommon, or say driving by Joe Thornton's childhood home on the way to work. Just is life huh?

Oh yeah.>> Must be whatever you're used to. I tried setting our thermostat at 70 degrees last winter to save a few $$ and couldn't stand it... I had to put it back on 71. Which still felt chilly since we were used to 72 in the winter.

At least, this part of Washington. As for heat, my apartment has these awful wall heaters that are at the base of the floor taking up space. The temperature control is kind of weird, your choice are "50", "comfort zone" and "90". I didn't really use it a lot this winter though. What do you set your car to? (This probably is more for people with Automatic Climate Control in their vehicles otherwise it's probably all the way blue, fan to high, AC button pressed) I don't have a feature where I can set the temp but when I first get in I run the ac for a minute to get rid of the hot air. Do you have Central Air? no Window Air? no Fan(s)? Ceiling or Pedastal? I have 2 pedastal fans that I have been meaning to get out of my storage unit but I haven't yet been hot in my apartment this summer. Today may be that day though, it's going to be in the 80's. HEPA/Electronic Air Cleaner? Whole Home or Room? no Humidifier? (For Winter) no HRV? no. Is your work cool? hot? OMG!! When I get at work its 1245pm, and the majority of the people who work there are there and I swear, it's like a sauna sometimes just because of all the body heat created. But when everyone leaves and there are less than 200 people there it is cold cold cold.

But on hot humid days I love to keep the windows sealed up and feel like I'm in a tight, small hot oven. MMMMMmmmmm...then after a bit I'll turn on the air. Do you have Central Air? Yep--no fans. HEPA/Electronic Air Cleaner? Whole Home or Room? Humidifier? (For Winter) HRV? N/A. Is your work cool? hot? Purty cool.

Room-makes great white noise to sleep by Humidifier? sorta?- wife and child take a shower for 20-30 minutes each that does the trick! Is your work cool? hot? too cool 68degrees ALL YEAR!
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Central Air at home is currently set at 76. At bedtime, it will be changed to 78. At 4 a.m. when I get up for work, it'll drop to 72 (can't STAND being too warm while getting ready). When I leave for work it jumps to 80, and a couple of hours later it goes to 82 automatically. When Mr. Alice gets home, he drops it to 78. (Got all that?? ;-) I've also got a small floor fan turned on right now in the office, as well as a ceiling fan in the family room and a tall floor fan on in our bedroom (this one's on all night). The air in my Mustang is manual... I push the AC button and click the dial to the second speed setting for the fan in the morning and to the fourth/highest speed when I come out after work. Once it cools down a bit, I hit the "Recirculated Air" button and it kicks up a notch and stays cooler than when it has to cool the outside air first.
