Global warming? - Page 2

Yes, but four out of five people make up 80% of the population.

Clodfobble · 11-19-2008, 06:06 PM

It could be worse. Some of us can't even aim.

classicman · 11-21-2008, 08:10 AM

WTF? I woke up this am to snow! SNOW! on my car on the ground and still falling out of the sky. I love it! This is the earliest snow we've had around here in decades it seems. So much for global warming.

glatt · 11-21-2008, 09:54 AM

yup. that proves it. it was all a fraud.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-21-2008, 10:02 AM

Yup, a plot to sell air conditioners, when we'll really need these.

glatt · 11-21-2008, 10:11 AM

Some of those are actually a pretty good idea. I've been known to wear a wool glove on my mouse hand when it's in the low 60s in my house and I'm surfing around. Otherwise, my mouse hand turns ice cold.

That's crazy talk.

I just sent that to my wife for Xmas ideas. If I got the monkey hand and foot warmers, I could turn off the heat in the rest of the house.

Did you get anything down there? rain even? It seems like its in the 40's here and yet it was snowing for good while.

glatt · 11-21-2008, 12:52 PM

brief flurries but nothing to stick to the ground. I hope the snow holds off. I need to finish raking this weekend. Raking leaves in the snow doesn't really work.

A least they're no longer an eyesore though, right?

Yes, you are nuts, and the glatt homestead is certifiable. The thermostat currently says it's 70 in here, and I'm freezing. I think the thermostat is wrong, though.

TheMercenary · 11-22-2008, 10:50 AM

The CEO gets to set the thermostat in our house. I have no idea what it is on but it is warm, I think 73 or something.

classicman · 11-22-2008, 11:22 AM

66 - but we are all guys. When guests (women) come over, it increases to 70.

Pico and ME · 11-22-2008, 12:37 PM

Ive been keeping ours at 65. There was some grumbling about it at first, but now everyone seems accustomed to it. And the boys still run around in short sleeves and shorts!?! I do push it up to 70 on occasion when I have a lot of work to do around the house...I cant function very well when I'm chilled and doing housework when I'm all layered up is difficult.

What? You drop it to 65 when you're relaxing and up to 70 when you're working/active. Shouldn't that work the other way 'round?
