This made me remember.. Anyone else have this? When I was growing up my dad would not turn on the heat until mid december and then only if it snowed, and off again the first week of Jan. In his mind thats when the cold season should be, not his problem if it didnt work that way. He would also say, "Cold? Put your slippers and an extra sweater on, you'll live."
Oh my dad was the SAME way. He would always remind me to turn off the lights when not in use. He's a freak when it comes to wasting electricity and heat. When us girls were cold, mom included, he still wouldn't turn up the heat. He'll be like "wear more sweaters, more socks, more slippers." My mom just turned it up anyways and then, in the middle of the night, my dad would turn it back down. THANK GOODNESS, I don't live there anymore, only visit! LOL
