112.0. "Some like it hot, others like it not." by TRACER::FRASHER (Undercover mountain man) Tue Jun 09 1987 16:01

    Ok, this conference is getting just too slow.  New meat to chew
    on.
    
    My wife and I were out looking at spas (hot tubs) and the salesman
    claimed that women like electric blankets to be very
    warm, while men preferred them to be cool.  Therefore, women like
    spas to be hotter than men do.
    
    What do you think?  I'm looking more for a survey than a stereo-type.
    Actually, I'm only trying to get some interest going again.
    
    In my case, my wife likes the blanket warmer than I do.

112.1So does mine...LILAC::MKPROJREAGAN::ZORETue Jun 09 1987 16:172
    	My wife definatly likes a warmer bed than I do, though there
    have been a few exceptions here and there.

    Spence, I can spot your hot tub fetish a mile away.  
    
    Can a bachelor get in on this?
    
    There once was a girl named Rhonda who came complete with waterbed
    and electric blanket.  Rhonda had a close association with the
    positive end of the thermometric scale according to fahrenheit.
    Any heated activity in addition to her thermal preferences relating
    to waterbed and electric blanket, would introduce a new dimension
    to the term "solar energy."  At times, for me, the male, it was
    simply too hot to contemplate staying in the kitchen. :^ )
    
    Salesmans claim is not too farfetched

    Compromise!
    
    If the spa gets too hot, notch the electric blanket down to a cooler
    setting!!

    re: .4
    
    Kathleen Turner under any blanket of mine automatically makes
    it electric.  Then I become the body electric!  What was the question?

    	Don't know much about women but after a couple of wild winter nights
    	with the electric blanket on high, my inflatible Party Pal exploded.
    	Geeez, what a sensation that was!  My body's still tingling. Can't
	seem to get this silly grin off my face either.

112.9sounds rightWEBSTR::RANDALLBonnie Randall SchutzmanThu Jun 11 1987 08:475
    I definitely like the bed and the hot tub much hotter than my husband
    does.

112.10Electric Blankets and hot tubs don't mix!SEINE::MAYJimFri Jun 12 1987 06:554
    My wife claims it's 'TOO HOT, in the Hot Tub!'...I think it's just
    right.  BTW, what temp do you usually keep it set at.  103 for me.
112.11Rub together=sparks=fire!COMET2::AIKALAPenguins are cool.Fri Jun 12 1987 08:331
    My preference:  heat generated by body (plural) friction. :^ )
112.13who's picky?WEBSTR::RANDALLBonnie Randall SchutzmanMon Jun 15 1987 13:474
    I must have misunderstood the question -- I thought you wanted to
    know how hot we liked it, not how we liked to get hot!  :) :)

    What's an electric blanket?
    
    A bed should be well below body (skin) temperature when you get in else
    you can't sleep.
    
    And anybody who *heats* a bedroom is a cissy!

    (I went to boarding school where you took an [ice] cold shower before
    bed: some habits never die :-)

    	If the room is cool and the waterbed up on high then I can
    	RARELY ever get out of bed.. I like my waterbed alot. :-)
    
    	Besides, it's great for my arthritis..

112.18Hot bod, cool!JUNIOR::TASSONEJuly 30th - 1 year AnnivThu Jul 16 1987 11:5613
    <---what strings did you pull to get THAT nodename, Mike?
    
    
    
    I like to be warm, electric blanket on 10 until it burns (I know,
    the fire department doesn't like this), and then I turn it down to
    4 to sleep.  I make sure I turn my heat off in the apartment.  This
    is during the cold months.
    
    NOOOOOOOW, I'm hot no matter what.  You know, it's funny but right
    before going to bed I always say, "I can't find a thing to wear".
    So I don't.

    	Got a GPX, put in a request for that nodename, got the nodename.
    
    
    Simple, huh? :-) :-)
