I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Although I wondered about the point where they said something about removing the chicken and I wondered when was there chicken??)

I think they just meant turkey.

This is the French Onion Soup that's my magic ingredient. They sautee the onions in butter so it's not vegan but it's one of the richest vegetarian broths I've ever used. So much flavor.

That plus garlic and brandy (you could probably use white wine, but the brandy gives it a slightly darker flavor) really makes it rich.

I just threw in baby red potatoes and carrots and some mushrooms. It's pretty simple.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

When we're feeling really cold, we boost it up to a blazing 70.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bedroom 60 (well, 59 because the next stable temp seems to be 63) and living area about 64 during the day and down at night. It'd be a little lower but old cat means I need to keep it slightly more comfortable for her.

OMG, seriously?? Brrrr.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I keep my thermostat at 70, but I don't really have central heat. There is a furnace in my apartment, and the one place that warm air blow out of is blowing directly at the thermostat from 2 feet away. It is not a good set up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ha! We've got our heater blazing away in winter because it's the only heater in the house and then we all huddle in the living room.

No heat in the bedrooms at all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We have this heating discussion periodically, and reading everyone's responses always makes me cold.

67 during the day (when I spend time under an electric blanket if I can), 63 at night. I complain a lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My bedroom thermometer says 64, but I think the thermostat is at 66 or 67, so it should kick on soon. I AM FREEZING. like cold nose and hands. I have on a thin wool cap, two shirts, yoga pants and socks. freezing.

My furnace isn't currently firing, and the temp according to my little digital is 68.5 at head height. I think the radiators shut off when it hits about 69.5.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
