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.
Bunnies frighten me.

70 in the morning and evening, 64 during the day, 60 at night.

Please note: I HATE the cold. And my kitchen is freezing because it has no radiator in there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
OMG, seriously?? Brrrr.
My electric bills are outrageous. I can't stomach the thought of paying more. If I am cold in thick socks and at least two layers on top, then I'll bump the heat up a little. But my place is chilly in winter and warm in summer.

Because of the radiators and the way the house holds heat, I don't drop the temp at night. The cycle is slow enough, there's not much point to it.
I had it colder last winter. I didn't like it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What temp do people keep their house at in the winter?
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.
Yowza. We keep it at 68 when we're home and awake (although the house is poorly insulated -- and yes, it's Yet Another Project that's needed to be addressed for quite some time now -- so I think the only part of the house that's really 68 is maybe the middle of the dining room or something), 66 when we're asleep (but perhaps I'll turn that down to 64, since we have the Magical Heated Mattress Pad), and 64 when we're not home.
I get cold really easily, so I have big furry warm slippers and a fleece pullover.

Our house is somewhere in the 60s, I think. I'm fat and well-insulated, though my feet need to be covered for that to work. Hubby's drugs have whacked his body so much that he's either roasting or freezing no matter what the thermostat is at. Fuzzy layers and cats are our friends.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh, maybe tomorrow's project can be putting on the heated mattress pad.
and maybe if I get really motivated I can crawl into the attic and see what things are like up there. I want to have an idea of what some electrical re-running up there will be like, also adding insulation and also also flooring out some of the space for somewhere to hide storage.

We have this heating discussion periodically, and reading everyone's responses always makes me cold.
The "How do you do it?" question rarely gets old for us. Or humans. It's just fascinating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's true!
I really got used to unregulated NYC apartment heat, where apartments are always warm, so I bundle up now, but I don't like it.
