Functional toes are for wusses!

On the one hand, there's a weird sort of macho status to going so long without turning on the heat. It's like bragging rights: "Yeah, it may be a wee bit chilly out, but I'm not so much of a pansy that I actually need heat! Now let me put another seven blankets on the bed." Also, since our rent does not include utilities, there's a lot to be said for saving money.

On the other hand, uncontrollable shivering is not fun. Though I haven't yet seen my breath, which last year marked the turning point at which I demanded we turn on the heat. And drinking lots of hot Tang only does so much to stave off the chill.

thomascantor doesn't seem to notice, most of the time. Maybe the Y chromosome provides insulation.

Well, since the end of the world would mean I'd definitely have cold toes, I guess I can live with that.
