But have to keep heat up in fall and winter and spring. My poor famiy, it is like coming into a cave of them with wraps and hats and snugglies all over the place; my staff and family run 'warm' all the time, like little furnaces. I have to keep my offices at comfort level for others, so I am freezing all th time. like Vitagal, once I get cold, taht's it, really, hard to warm up again. Weird. love, ceep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 The sun is shinning and there's a slight breeze. I have on slacks and a tee-shirt (no jacket). It's supposed to be in the 70's this weekend...I might hop on my bike and take a spin in the neighborhood shortly. Ahh, no snow down here in Texas (braggin' a little bit). Ya'll stay warm!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Actually, I wouldn't mind the white stuff but I want conditions like 1) snow on the grass and roofs only, 2) no snow on concrete, roads, driveways, sidewalks or parking lots, and most importantly 3) no freezing allowed. But I haven't been able to convince the weather gods of my conditions yet. I think it must be that all or nothing mentality. Lori Owen - Denton, Texas CHF 4/14/01 479 lbs. SRVG 7/16/01 401 lbs.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 Terry: even at 300 lbs, I was so not able to tolerate the northern cold weather. The cold would be so painful, it was immobilizing. Even after get into a heated place, it would take so long to warm up. I moved to Florida before my surgery and my whole life changed. Now at a low weight, visiting up north is a summertime only thing. I went over Labor Day and was miserable. Florida is my paradise.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 Pre-op I wouldn't wear jackets, even in the winter (and I lived in Rochester, NY - very cold and snowy). I was rarely cold though. Once I lost the weight, I couldn't warm up in the winter. I was always freezing (still hated wearing heavy coats though). Now that I'm in Florida, I still get cold easily when the sun goes down, but during the day in the bright sunshine I'm usually good. The minute I hit the air conditioning I'm in trouble though.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 My sits at his computer in his undie shorts while I am at my computer in this Blanket thing with legs and arms. Also my sheepskin slippers and socks. And I am still cold. He says a good temp is 65....for me it is 78! We never agree. Fortunately I have found something that is better then an electric blanket for the bed. We have an electric matress pad with a down comforter and at least three of the dogs. LOL That works for me. He turns on the fan, I turn up the mattress pad and we each cuddle a dog or two.

Lori Owen - Denton, Texas *************************** Lori, you are MY kind of girl! Those are exactly my conditions for snow. Also....there can be snow in pictures. LOL Right now the Pacific Northwest is DROWNING! I headed out for a Christmas party tonight....got a half an hour down the road and turn around and came home. I was getting washed off the road. Oh, well. The ski lodges are happy tonight! Debbie in Gig Harbor ladybostons@... www.paws2print.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I vote for a cutey AND an electric blanket. Might as well have fun while getting warm.
