[hawkdon]

I just now ordered a new electric blankey from Amazon, may even get
it today....just cannot take the cold any more, my prior blanket got pitched
last year due to long use, getting thinner etc.....so I'm a wimp.......but at

Don't be silly now.. you're not a wimp for feeling the cold. Yoo're being sensible getting an electric blanket.

I'm the opposite, it has to be freeeeezing.. for me to feel the cold...which is a good thing given the high cost of our electricity and gas heating

Who was the killjoy who invented electric blankets? Before then it was sex or shiver. Have you never wondered how we boomers had so many siblings?

Well Hawk, I guess I am as well, as I can't take cold any longer myself.

And I used to ride a motorcycle to work when the weather was in the 20's & teens.

I have one sibling. My parents believed in birth control and they passed on that important knowledge to me.

It was just a tease Pepper, if you look at this thread, you will read of the experience that caused my siblings and I use birth control.

I am all for the a electric blanket but I have two little dogs that warm the bed

 

[DebraMae]

When I get cold I can't seem to warm up by myself anymore no matter how many layers I put on or how many blankets I crawl under. I think an electric blanket is a great idea!

 

[Della]

We have very heavy quilts on our beds. At bed time my husband turns the three feet at the top back so he's sleeping under two layers of that quilt plus the sheet. I fold the quilt all the way down to the foot of the bed and just sleep under the sheet. It's a wonder we ever slept in the same bed.

Hey, don’t sweat it. I have a bed warmer that I turn on my side in the winter. My wife seldom turns her side on. She was raised and her mom would sometimes crack her bedroom window in winter.

You aren’t being a wimp. You are being a smart , sensible person.

 

[officerripley]

What is this "cold" you speak of?

 

[That Lady in PA]

We love our electric mattress cover!

 

[Sliverfox]

We have an electric mattress pad,, that keeps us cozy.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Well, @hawkdon , I am in the state you are in, and I was this close to putting on my jammies last night.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Enjoy!!!

I’ve been looking for a couple of conventional blankets with little success.

I find very spendy 100% wool blankets or Velux blankets but none of the plain old blankets that I have used for most of my life.

I hate change!

 

[timoc]

Ladies (I'm told) make very warm and cozy, cuddly blankets, but the downside is that they have freezers for feet.... am I in trouble?

Me too and I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, I'm waiting for pay day so I can buy another one from Costco.

 

[chic]

Autumn chill came very quickly where I live and I am feeling it and have been sleeping with a heating pad on my tummy all last week and I'm warm as toast and happy. It seems smart to me. Not wimpy at all.

 

[Jackie23]

....nothing more relaxing for our old muscles than crawling into a nice warm bed in the winter...enjoy your new blanket.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

An electric blanket?????
hawkdown, you are a wimp. I like to man up, and sleep under my Mickey Mouse blankie.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

You are not a wimp Hawkdon, simply a man who has some sense! Who wouldn't want to be warm and cozy on a cold night? How did you launder your electric blanket? I had one that I machine washed and it was never the same. It's long gone. I bought an electric throw and need to look at the instructions again as to how to clean it. I've barely had to use it because it gets really hot in here in winter unless the temps go well below freezing.

Hey, are you talking about my feet.

I start the night with a microwavable heater bag. Feet first and then back. If I’m cold in the middle of night, I have the electric heating pad on standby.

I have several old wool blankets. They will reappear soon.

 

[Dustbunny]

I am with you @hawkdon . I get cold when the sun goes down in the summer.

My fat is defective, it doesn't keep me warm.

The only thing about being toasty warm in bed is having to get out of it to go down the hall.

 

[Remy]

Not a wimp, in your part of the world, it will get cold.

It's going to be 100 here again today.
