Yep... days of teens and such makes 25 feel absolutely balmy.... I cannot imagine negative 20's for days on end... we often had 0 to 15 when I was a kid... and if there is no wind, it is tolerable... 25 feels like summer... I don't mind the cold so much as the wind just goes through you. We...

Yeah, house here is 100+ years old... not designed for wheelchairs or things, narrow doorways etc...

And if it is 25 or 30 out, and the power goes off, you just stick the stuff outside in a box on the porch....or in a snowdrift or something... And "back when" hot cocoa was made with milk in a pot, not hot water.... PBJ and jelly did not need heating up or refrigerator temps.... If you were...

Caffeine has never affected me... or kept me awake... I can drink Mt Dew and lay down and go right to sleep... But I do alot better in the winter with a cup of hot cocoa and some amaretto... man, that puts me to sleep and I sleep good.... I cannot imagine having your brain going at warp...
