Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 03, 2024

Make up your mind!

Guilt, Thy Name is Legion!

I said I’m freezing, not turn up the heat.

Once the brain is warm enough, we can think of the consequences.

“Try doing jumping jacks.”

Arlo is either a.) he’s in trouble b.) he’s in real trouble or c.) both above.

Forget the utility bill !I will be warm !!!

I’m surprised Arlo didn’t suggest another way to turn up the heat.

Or she could put on a heavy robe and thick socks to keep her warm.

Cuddle for Warmth!!

You could always move to a better climate….

Thanks to you know who, we all have higher electric bills, even here in coastal GA where winters aren’t too bad.

$381 last month (all electric/minisplits)

We have 2 wood stoves. One in the basement and one in living area. Also a wood cookstove in kitchen. I rarely have all 3 going, except when the power’s out.

I try to be green other ways. When it gets cold the thermostat can kiss my carbon footprint.

Dammed if you do and Dammed if you don’t.

I just turned the heat on – in FL. It was 64 degrees in the house. It is supposed to get up to 73 today, but it is very cold now.

She should have done a sensible compromise and have kept the blanket on so the heat would only need to be turned up a little bit. Not that sensible actions have any place in the comics.

It is a woman’s prerogative to change her mind as often as she wishes…just not at the altar.

Poor Arlo…he tried to make Janis more comfortable and what does he get for his efforts? I’m surprised he does pull a muscle in his eyes from spontaneously rolling them at Janis so frequently.

they have a sofa and a blanket to share….what else is needed?

Don’t we all!

H. Sapiens can survive in just a very thin sliver of the range of temperatures available in the universe. The peak comfortable temperature for the average resting naked H. Sapiens is 80 deg F (~ 27 deg C). BTW, the word for which H. stands is banned on this site.

We have natural gas heating, stove, and water heater and it tain’t bad. Summer is what I dread for the A/C here in Louisiana. We also have a yearly average payment for the gas.

This is why Hubby and I keep some long-sleeved tee shirts and flannel shirts handy. The tee with a flannel shirt over it isn’t too heavy and keeps us comfortable in the morning around 65 degrees. When it gets warmer in the house, the flannel shirts come off.

Hot as hades?

Better to snuggle together. nicer and no extra cost.

In winter we keep the house at 68. If we’re cold sit under blankets! Overnight the temperature is set at 60!

That’s my wife. And the same thing will happen in reverse come summer.
