Ideal temperatures are nice, but heating and cooling costs can be a bear. And if you live with other people, they may not agree with your idea of ideal.

How close to your Ideal temperatures do you actually keep your home?

Last week, she said Democrats are “lazy” and “want free money from the government”.

Yesterday, I described Trump voters as “malignant” and “stupid”.

She got upset, saying I was describing people she knew. I told her I was describing people I know as well. When she mentioned her son is a Trump voter and she didn’t appreciate me calling him “malignant” and “stupid”, I reminded her of the remark she made about Dems and that it applied to me and my daughter, regardless, I am sorry, etc.

Her response? “Completely different.”

Is it?
