[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow, I wasn't expecting this much backlash.

Fyi our house is not big - it's a small, old rowhouse. I understand that 63 is too cold for some people, but for us it's fine (yes, we wear long pants, sweatshirts, socks, and slippers). We're active people so our blood is always moving. Things warm up when it's sunny (67 now).

The guest would need to stay for 6 days before their heat is repaired, which is a long time. Our basement is cold - there's nothing we can do about that. Personally, I would never expect someone to change their home conditions for me if they were helping me out.

I know 63 is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's ok. Which is why I offered to let them stay if they would like, but gave them a heads up that our home is pretty chilly. It's an option - they're not forced to make.

Also, sleeping with temps in the 50s is actually great! Heavy blanket and comforters... and it's delightful--and healthy.

You’re active? What? I’m super active and also tend to be cold all the time. I’m that lady with a blanket at the movie theater. You really seem to have some kind of weird superiority complex going on as if your preference for abnormally low temperatures somehow makes you better than other people.  You’re just a bad host  that’s it.[/quote]
