Well, the wife did. It's damn cold here in the northeast. Ah, the smell of burnt pipes oozing through the house and the unmistakable clinking noise now echoing throughout of my pipes coming to life. The winter is here...almost! :o

    were you holding out on doing it or something?

    winter's coming quick and it feels lately like we're only having 2 seasons and no fall/spring :shock:
    personally i hardly turn the heat on, i prefer blankets... it drives my mom crazy, i'm always turning the heat off. canadians use too much energy to heat their homes anyways :lol:

    Wimp!




    :lol:



    When I was in college (in Iowa) I went an entire winter without turning the heat on in my apartment!
    Would never do that again...and now that I think about it, it was pretty damn stupid...

    But either way...I had more beer money! :lol:

    hahaha. My wife walks around with a comforter wrapped around her. She came home and said it's time to turn on the heat. I think we lasted until November last year.

    It is officially fall you know. We have our heater on automatic, set at 66 degrees. It's definitely coming on now. :)

    I used to wait till November 1st to turn on the heat, but now that I have a child all that changes. My wife is prgnant too so she complains of being cold all the time. It's only money, right?
