When I was younger, my pal and I didn’t have a reliable heating source in our house, however dad had an old coal heater in the basement, however it was out more than it was burning.
Most afternoons, mom would be up plus have the oven on.
The door to the oven would be open to heat the bedroom. I remember many afternoons when she would wrap a blanket around me so I could get warm. I swore I would never use an oven as a replace heating source for the heater. My husband is an Heating and Air Conditioning worker so I never need to worry about having a working heater. My fine friend and I have the best Heating and Air Conditioning system in the neighborhood because my husband is always upgrading. I guess I shouldn’t say he is just an Heating and Air Conditioning worker, he owns the local Heating and Air Conditioning supplier. He has access to all the latest plus greatest Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, plus he never wanted his youngsters to worry about being too overheated or too cold, like my pal and I did as youngsters. I was teasing him one afternoon, about the thermostat. I said I thought my pal and I needed a new one, because it was a bit chilly in the house that afternoon. He looked at me plus smiled. He asked if I had the oven door open. All I could do was laugh, which woke up our youngest son, who was now sixteen. He was complaining my pal and I woke him up with all the noise down here, plus he asked what was so funny. My husband told him I was going to bake because it was chilly in the bedroom. He didn’t the joke plus mumbled something about aged people.
