I’ve never been able to find a battery compartment in this thermostat. I guarantee that it wasn’t operator error (at least this time). I’m going to replace the thermostat soon, some of its buttons are beginning to stick as well.

Did you remember to replace the batteries in the thermostat? And since switching from heat to off to heat again woke it up, maybe it was an operator error- or maybe a bad switch.

And thanks for the picture of our eagle. In its day, it was the largest bronze casting ever made.

My thermostat is programmable, it just loses its mind these days. Besides, one of the buttons is really finicky so I probably will replace it. Now if I could only find the time…. and also find out how the current one is being powered…

Think “Winnie the Pooh.” I am trying to be more like Tigger and less like Eeyore.

Okay, I’m confused. “Tigger?”

It’s reversable and she has it in pink also.

Plus for sleeping she has Toby to keep her warm

What, no “Paris Hilton chihuahua” fall collection sweaters in Nibbles closet yet?

FYI Martha, just bought Andy one of these to help with his joints… only works when they are on it, might be good for Nibbles (or the basset) and for your heating bill:

Life’s a bitch then you die, punk! It’s easy to bitch even when things are actually good… i.e. got a job, got insurance, got a house, got a car… got food, shelter, clothing… but really, what is it/has it ever gotten you/us?

Driving home yesterday my heat gauge on truck pegs in the red… I check coolant… 0… currently awaiting the “fixing this will cost you $$$$” call…. joy.

If the thermostat is old replace it with an electronic one. Easy fix, and you can program them to save you $$$… buy a honeywell, they are rated as the best about $60 bucks, and you’ll recover that cost quickly.

Must be something in the air however… weird things have been cropping up…

Spring for a programable thremostat…totally worth the money and easy to instal.

I finally put the heat on this morning, not for me of course, but Nibbles was shivering so much I couldn’t stand it. Wonder how she’s going to do this weekend camping??
