The anonymous comment in regards to that's not a normal "living" temperature is a hoot. You're not supposed to be sleeping or working in freezer box temperatures. I'll take my electric bill any day with the 68/78 temps. I'd be curious how many eco-saving measures people take and then crank their a/c down or their heat up. That would be classified as "gag on a gnat, swallow a camel". Have a great weekend!<br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909433475631627375.post-9642800547984418172011-05-29T23:31:49.339-04:002011-05-29T23:31:49.339-04:00We don't even have A/C!

Yet so many houses out here still don't have A/C. We just use our ceiling fans and open the windows in the evening to cool off the house. In the winter we keep the thermostat set at 65. I think your settings are totally reasonable!Brandinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909433475631627375.post-72490371587781934852011-05-29T23:25:47.384-04:002011-05-29T23:25:47.384-04:00Alright, I asked for it, but I would love for you ...Alright, I asked for it, but I would love for you to at least identify yourself if you're going to slam me.

I could not work in those environment and a child can not sleep appropriately in that heat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909433475631627375.post-32789396280588946502011-05-29T23:16:16.009-04:002011-05-29T23:16:16.009-04:00We are the recommended 68/78 too!

Tell them to suck it up, wear lighter clothes, and drink lots of water. :) It really isn't too warm for normal activity, especially not for sweet Abby!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216965505701815804noreply@blogger.com
