Dont tell me, I live with three women, Jules, plus 2 daughters Kat(21) and Gemma (18) and they are constantly complaining about the heat or lack of it.

I walk into any room they are in and complain about the greenhouse style heating.

I thought it was because secretly women are a member of the reptile family, and need to have the room's warm in order to move around (Dave stands back in the chat room and waits for the blast of reptile icy air)

Wouldn't that be the other way around?

If her body temp is cooler then she should be comfortable at a lower temp.

Or have I got it totally screwed up.

Where are our experts?

The OH likes to have a thick blanket but still usually has the fan on and the window open. WTH?


Reptiles are warm-blooded.

Are those in celsius or that imperial thingy.

It was -28.9 C here this morning although last night I was in the rural/urban fringe of Ottawa and my car showed -30 c...first time I've seen it that cold.

Gatineau was even colder at -37 or something like that.
