The funny part is, they decided to get a programmable thermostat after some costly heating bills a few years back (you think?), but the thing stays on override at 24 degrees 24/7. Add in the heat from the oven/stove, and the body heat of a family gathering, and we might as well be in a sauna.

To each their own, I suppose, but I plan to have to peel off a layer whenever I go there so I ensure that I have a t-shirt on under my sweater. And I sneakily turn their thermostat down to a more reasonable 21 or 22 when they're not looking.
