You Know You're a Northerner When...

[Alaskan]

sheesh... I am in bed with a fleece shirt, a jacket and a coat and a scarf... and that is just my top half.

I think the problem is that I got in bed without my warm hat on.

Anyway, almost warm enough to take off the long coat and go to sleep.

you sound like me Alaskan but, I have the heat set to 65F and I am always freezing, during the day. I wear fleece lined jeans, fleece lined flannel shirt, fleece neck gaiter and knit cap. Ooops forgot the snow boots with boot socks. Honestly I'm THAT cold in the house. Of course I am much older than you and oldies have trouble regulating their internal thermostat or something like that.

When I am outside in the cold- really cold with proper winter stuff on, I am quite comfortable. Just am miserable in the house.

You're a Northern lady if you stop shaving your legs in October so the hair will act like Velcro and keep your socks up all winter!

Wait, October ?
I thought you start in Aug.
and then don't shave till June...



Not that I care, I am not impressing anyone and if the small hairs keep me a tad warmer so be it !

Yeah, I was that way too, but now I have to wear dresses and formals and stuff a lot and there's just something about trying to pull on panti-hose (who invented THOSE darn things, anyway) over pokeys that makes my skin crawl~

BLOOIE, MY FRIEND. YOU'RE BACK. I THOUGHT YOU'D FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. HOW YOU DOING, ANYWAYS????????????

No problem if you wear no PJs!

That's fine if you happen to live down south! Here, it's a matter of survival. I often wear a winter hat to bed.

.. you don't take a shower if you are not going anywhere and it is only 10F outside.
why waste the water/heat, you will freeze the second you get out of the shower


Ok, that is MY excuse anyway

There is a German saying that says "dirt makes warm". I need that extra layer!
