via endo and exothermic processes,
ambient temperature is ours to play with.
now how about spiritual temperature?
ghosts?
i love 'em.
though my hand-built cabin has only
skin-deep history.
i built it 10 years ago.
since then, a 100 ton oak
tree landed on it while i was within,
and i believe the deceased tree shot
it's spirit into the place
at that moment.
i'm cool with the tree sprite.
though i want the real deal in here
so i start my fire with
pages from the bible.
i swat flies
and place their carrion
at what i consider spiritual nodes.
i want a spiritually freezing domain.
i'll spend plenty of time in hell;
i got me a job down there
billowing the flames.
so for now, i want my heart to shiver

Most of you are doing it backwards.
A true aficionado of extreme suffering sports would keep his or hers house a nice warm temp in the winter and extra cool in the summer so that when he or she went outside, he/she could truly feel the temperature difference. Good lord, as cold as some of you keep your houses, the outside must feel like a luxury vacation. Its no wonder that some of you enjoy snow caves. They are warmer then your own homes..

Seven degrees high today but the sun came out. Turned the electric heat on above low nighttime levels about seven AM and off about eight AM, and the passive solar house heated up to 75 degrees, requiring us to open the doors for awhile to let it cool off.

I keep it at 21 degrees. Celcius. Inside. ;-)
That's 69,8 degrees Fahrenheit.
It's a more even comfortheat with geothermal heating than with oil. It makes one use less energy too. The furnace (heating converter?) is set to 67, the rest comes from body heat, appliances and such. Heated floors makes for lower temperature, it feels warmer around you. I don't have that now, otherwise I'd kept the temp at 20 degrees (68 F).
The building regulations has been tightened when it comes to energy use. Tighter and tighter for many years now. Nowadays It's not uncommon with new houses that uses hardly any heating energy or even give back to the system. Even though it can be pretty cold here.

I don't have a working heater so just wear my winter outdoor/ski clothes. Heck, it's California not cold at all compared to other states.

Like an earlier poster, I was under the impression that being cold made the body want to put on/keep fat. But I hope the Atlantic article is correct. If I am the only one home, I keep it low 60's during the day. At night I keep the bedroom windows open all winter (lows typically in the low 40's).
