wineallthetime some people really do like to spout off! As if anyone’s house temperature has any effect on them. Stop dude you’re embarrassing yourself. This. I will never understand the need to type out such ridiculousness. Go ahead and think your petty thoughts, but the rest of us don't need to be subject to them. Good Lord. This, and like, some people really are so poor that they don’t have sufficient heat and it’s dangerous. IDK why anyone is that desperate to look like an asshole. |

Is it bad that I would love to stay in a hotel room that looks like a New Orleans whore house? I wouldn't mind one that looks like one, but not one that is or used to be one. Weird germs and all.... Did I ever tell you about that time I went to a swingers club? |

kim22, that's absolutely ridiculous! Also, I didn't know buses had seatbelts. They didn’t when I was a kid but N.J. law requires them now, not sure if all states do. Last spring there was a horrific crash where a teacher and a 10 year old were killed and now they are pushing for adding shoulder straps as well (it was never disclosed if the lap belts were being used in that accident). I’m not sure now should belts would work with younger kids though. Our buses drop the high school kids off, then come back for middle school, then for elementary so the same bus needs to work for all ages. |

I had an N13 dream last night. tgrimes and her family drove north and kept going up through Maine and apparently after Maine is Norway in my dream. They rented this skeezy hotel room that looked like a New Orleans whore house back in the day. We drove out to visit them. There were baby bears everywhere and we had to keep stopping to let them cross. When we got there talked about visiting nam2013 because we were close to her in the dream. It was very cold. Not much else happened. It was very odd. I really liked those bears though. Is it bad that I would love to stay in a hotel room that looks like a New Orleans whore house? This is what we do prom weekend in N.J. |

I feel like we’ve had this conversation before, but out of curiosity what do you keep your thermostat on? In our other house it needed to be at 68 to be comfortable, but here we find that 64 (Sometimes even 62) feels warm. I guess it’s number of baseboards and the placement of our furniture? We have central heat. I keep ours 68 at night and 70/71 during the day. |

Morning! Both girls are at school and I’m not planning to remove my butt from the couch until I have to pick them up. It’s a little bit warmer today, 1 above (real feel -15), but it’s snowing. Yay winter. It’s supposed to be in the 40s this weekend though. wineallthetime the worst people in the world post on those type of things. Never the normal, sane, reasonable people. |

kim22, I recall that bus accident, it was awful. cagoldi... go on. Oddly enough we used to have a swinger's bar in my tiny little suburban town. It was a 60's bar that had weird little nooks with shag carpeting, lava lamps, and 60's playboy magazines on the tables, but rumor was if you asked where you could put your keys they brought you to a private room in the basement. I had heard this from multiple people, and the bar was ALWAYS empty yet stayed open for many years, so I believe it. Funny thing is, it closed a few years back, and now it's a Tae Kwon Do studio where I just started sending S. I chuckle every time I go in there.

Morning ladies! I'm WFH today, the HVAC people are here installing a whole home humidifier that I'm overly excited about, and cleaning our ducts.
So I'm binge watching Dexter and answering emails as they come in...it's a pretty good day so far.

jewels I thought I had mentioned it to everyone before but maybe not.... We were in Vegas for a girls weekend (circa 2009) and met some guys who seemed like they were not major creepers. After hanging out with them and talking for awhile we all decided to go to a club together. It was implied this was a strip club. Well. We get there, and one friend and I desperately have to pee. So as the guys pay our cover and slap a wristband on us we rush off to the bathroom. There were these posters up on the wall about avoiding HIV/AIDS and we were like, “is this a new Vegas thing? Is this place so dirty I’m supposed to be afraid of getting STIs from the toilet?” Shrug. So we go back to join our group and there is this run down dive bar looking area with a crappy stage and stripper pole, but no strippers. Kinda weird and shady looking. There was a door at the back so we’re like let’s go see what’s there... Vinyl bench type seats with low partitions that had windows and all kinds of orgy scenarios going on within. I didn’t even have to see anyone doing anything before I figured it out because my girlfriends went up to the windows and by the look on their face, I just knew. I turned around and booked it back to the dive bar area. I’m gathering my thoughts and some random guy asks to take a picture with me. I freak out on him and overreact completely because fuck no I don’t want a picture of me in a swingers club floating around! The guys we came with found me and tried to recruit me to go in the hot tub. 🤢 Those things are a cess pool of germs under normal conditions. Lest I get syphilis just talking to someone in there, I decided to call a cab and wait outside. The weirdos kept coming out to try to coax me back in. Finally the security guard told them they would be thrown out if they didn’t quit pestering me. And some couple who looked like they were about 60 asked me to “join” them. It was a really weird scene.

Oh, our thermostat is set at 72 in the winter. H will sometimes turn it up to 73 in the mornings. I think it's too warm, but since H works outside, he doesn't want to come home and be cold and doesn't think he should have to wear layers when he's in the house, he wants to be comfortable. When we first started dating, I rented a house that was too big for me, so I kept the furnace set a like 62 and just used a blanket to warm me up. It drove him crazy!

Lol cagoldi! That's crazy. Did your friends stay? It took forever for my cab to get there, so I think they had their voyeuristic fill at that point and they went with me. They stayed inside while I waited but came out to check on me a few times. |

I remembered the name and just found the website.
They’re calling it an adult social club and “health” spa. 😂

I feel like the only kind of men who would attend a swingers club would be fat middle aged single men. Definitely not the kind of place I'd want to hang out either!

So I'm binge watching Dexter and answering emails as they come in...it's a pretty good day so far. Yay! I love that you're getting one installed, I remember you talking about filling up multiple humidifiers every night a couple winters ago. It's a game changer. The only thing that I would say to watch for is the windows. If there are curtains covering them then they may be sweating then you have to wipe it periodically or open them up during the day to breathe, if not the moisture could get into the frames. |

Now if I disappear or die under mysterious circumstances they’re going to check my browsing history and be like, “yep, this normal looking PTA mom was into some really weird shit.”
I can hear Keith Morrison from Dateline narrating it now...
“The devoted mother of three was brewing something in that lovely little Orange County suburb, and it wasn’t coffee...”

Good to know. Most of our windows I just have blinds and keep the drapes open. But when its this cold, I do close the drapes to keep some of the cold where it is. I hate filling those stupid humidifiers so much. I didnt even get them out this winter and I regret it multiple times an evening! |

I kind of remember it being average to good-looking men in their twenties and thirties and quite a few older women. At my 10 year reunion, we went to a bar afterwards. We kept seeing people with wristbands on and couldn't figure out what they were for. My friend said she was going to scope it out and get one. She came back 30 min later saying it was a swinger's party. Apparently they choose a different location every week and they know each other by the wristbands. The majority of them were just like you described: average to good-looking men in their twenties and thirties and quite a few older women. |
