I live with the "ice woman"...

I understand... and am reasonably sympathetic to... the fact that woman can and "do"... get hot flashes. Living here in New England... the outside temps have been averaging 19 to 68 degrees F. in the last couple of days... so I'm even more sympathetic. But... a few days ago, my wife... asked me if the central air cond. was still working. "Yes Honey" I replied... (it was one of those hot 65 degree days...) "It's so humid" she stated... "I'm going to turn it on, to see if it helps".... "knock yourself out" I exclaimed...  

This morning; I woke up (bedroom window "open"... as usual) and my wife is still sleeping... with no blanket/sheet... or much else covering her. I didn't check... but my glass of water on the night table may have been frozen... I opened the bedroom door and went into the kitchen to check the thermometer. Outside temp 29... inside was 62.

I am now sitting in the basement/workshop with an electric heater running... thawing me out as I write...
