You think you have it bad - my Mail Order Bride from Russia always complains it is too cold in the house, I refuse to turn on the heat until *I* am cold - I am lord and master of the thermostat. Heat's expensive, don't you know?

Anyway, for night time I got one of those electric blankets, it has a set of his-n-hers controls for each half of the blanket (I'm sure it works fine for his-n-his and hers-n-hers). Anyway, last night somehow when making the bed, the blanket got flipped upside down, so that her control was controlling my side of the bed, and since I don't like the electric blanket, my control is usually unplugged.

Anyway, since WifeTron gets cold in temperatures less than that on the surface of the Sun, she was getting chilly and consequentially dialed up her control to ever higher temperatures until it was set to 'Roast Husband'. I recall sweating so much my pillow was getting soaked. Wifey, by tropism, drifted over to my side of the bed since it was warmer than her side, and consequentally the dog and two of the cats got into the act.

I woke up at the very edge of the bed about to topple over, my leg and arm sticking out like air fins you see on radiators to keep cool.

This is why I am all for global warming.
