Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for February 03, 2020

It’s easier to add layers than shed them!

That is what I have dealt with for 40+ years. Hubby is a freakin’ radiator and I swear he has sucked all the heat for 3 meters around and left me ice cubes for blood. Brrrr

I have the same thing at my house…since my Dad is in his 70’s, no matter how warm it is at night, he has to have the heater on, while I’m in shorts and don’t have to worry about sleeping with any blankets on…

Maybe somebody needs to have their circulation checked.

Things like this give men a pause.

My husband is the one that is always cold.

I didn’t think hot flashes were a male menopause thing.

My husband is a living electric blanket, and I get a cuddle in addition to the warmth. Nothing better. :)

This is exactly what’s been going on at my house for years. And as the ‘hot’ one, I’ll tell you it’s hard to stay comfortable with a wife who keeps raising the thermostat. I’m in t-shirt & shorts all winter.

We all wear layers and we keep it at 21º C (about 70º F). As mentioned above, it’s easier to add or subtract layers.

I like 69 degrees. I ran around in shorts and a t-shirt while my poor husband was dressed in long pants, t-shirt, sweater, and an electric lap afghan (smaller than a twin-sized electric blanket) that covered his shoulders and arms. He didn’t know how to change the thermostat and I paid the electric bill, so I won. But in my defense, I get sick (migraine headaches) if I get overheated. He did not get sick if he got too cold.

I don’t understand how a hot flash can make my upper half feel like it’s on fire, but my toes are still ice cubes.

Our house is, in the winter, 80 + degrees. Hubby comfortable in all his clothing-me too hot in skivies and t-shirt.

Oh yeas no thermostat-wood stove always blazing.

I’m hot-blooded, check it and see. I’ve got a fever of a hundred and three…

Her mistake was making him Vickie’s Habanero & Ghost Pepper Chili recipe for dinner.

He’ll still be warm this time next week.

Can anyone help me? I’m looking for a Rose Is Rose comic Strip from long ago. It was a Sunday strip and in it Pasquale urges his mother to not think about Cherry Strudel. He is still at the stage where he is talking baby talk. I’d love to see this one again. If anyone can direct me to it I appreciate it. Thanks!

You can shed them all and it still could be uncomfortably hot.

I was always hot for about 55 years. I mean no winter jacket above the 40Fs and not closed until the 20FsThen at similar time I lost weight, went through changes and started medication for a low thyroid. Now I am freezing all the time. I always thought if one was cold, just add layers. Well I found the hard way that in the 80Fs one cannot wear a sweatshirt no matter how cold one feels or one will get sick.

So I live with being cold all the time. Husband has to tell me what to wear for the temperature it is. There is a rule if I feel “not cold” then it is in the 90Fs and I have to put on the AC until I feel cold. Sleep in old tee shirts and jeans often with winter nightgown over same and 3 winter blankets. I like being hot all the time better.

Tonight we had a board meeting of our reenactment unit at our 1600s house HQ. It has a modern furnace. When we got there other members were in the house trying to figure out why it was so cold. I showed them the thermostat behind a door and it was blank! We had the board meeting without heat (at least it went quick). Finally figured out to check the batteries (which I had said right away) and someone had a flashlight with matching batteries so we got it working again and left. Colder than it was in the 1700s in the house as we could not light a fire in the fireplace as it shut down since the furnace was added.
