[RANT] I broke down and put the heat on in Connecticut Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22407058 en Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:57:44 EDT Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:57:44 EDT Re: [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22419615 pandora : Good luck.

FYI my lock in at $2.19 was on 3/25/9 from this post - »[House&Home] 219

It's only good until the end of February 2010.

Time to do that old Gene Scott thing and "get on the telephone!" (and survey the oil prices). I'm anxious to see how much oil I actually used, given the high tech oil burner electronics I've added last fall.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22419387 Wed, 20 May 2009 20:04:49 EDT Re: [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22417864 pandora :

I locked in at $2.19. I'm hoping it was a good move, but only time will tell.

They didn't seem to complain any more than usual about the temps in the house, though every time we went out all I heard was "malamig!" (it's cold!) from both of them. This was the worst month to bring in anyone from a hot country.
The house holds the heat pretty well down to the upper 30s outside. Once it gets below freezing though, I have to put the heat on. Fortunately not this week.

Tomorrow looks warmer, and Thursday even warmer. Friday looks downright hot! But, that's okay. I'll take hot over cold anytime! If I feel like complaining about the heat, I just remind myself of how much I hate the cold & snow, and it's all good. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413667 Tue, 19 May 2009 19:57:15 EDT Re: [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413222 DSL_Steve : I dunno, but switching on the heat is chump-change to me (3000 sq ft), especially after paying $130,000 dollars for my daughters' college education in Camdridge MA ...

...of which I'm proud to say, she graduated Cum Laude last weekend. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413222 Tue, 19 May 2009 18:27:20 EDT Re: [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413169 Nightwing : I fired up the wood stove last night.

We shall see.... :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22411339 Tue, 19 May 2009 12:51:42 EDT Re: [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22409633 pleekmo : Don't worry: by Wednesday or Thursday things should heat up nicely and be warm all through the weekend, I think.

I also turned the heat on last night in my bedroom.

By the way, looks like it might be too cloudy for the heat to radiate to space and so we may get no frost here after all.

Global warming I see...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22407125 Mon, 18 May 2009 16:23:33 EDT [RANT] I broke down and put the heat on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22407058 pandora : My home office was 58F this morning, I was cold, but knew eventually it would warm up. At 4PM it went up to a whopping 60F. I finally broke down and put the heat on. I can't shiver all day.

Currently the weather service (weather.gov) says it's 55F in Danbury. :(
