Most of the people that i know, they put away their winter clothing, heavy blankets, and oh let's not foreget their mittens. I don't! Even in the 80's and 90's I still have 2 or 3 blankets on my bed and heavy blankets on. I still have my down comforter on my couch and i use it all the time,and yes i hate to say this but a couple of times i still used my mittens. And a winter head band across my forehead to keep away the headaches. Why because my family has to have the fans on to keep cool. My husband wears a fur coat, it's all over him. We have two air conditioners and the family wants to get them out and running. Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone have any suggestions to make my family happy? Keep them cool, and keep me warm?

" I figured that it was better for me to pretend that my night's are winter and not let my husband suffer from the heat. I sleep with a quilt and winter pjs (sometimes two layer) and I live in Israel! My children make fun of me, but I don't mind. I would rather sit with a sweater on, then think that they are way too hot. I am grossly outnumbered. :) "
