I washed my flannel sheets today.

Over - 3" Gel over-layer, "Biddeford" Electric blanket, quilt top. Perfect, even with the window open....

1. In Maine do you have to buy flannel sheets or are they issued to you?

3. And are they plaid?

5. I think that goes without saying.

Love your sig line.

10. Nope, little Softwood Pine Cones.

Matches my total pine paneling.

8. Still voluntary. AFAIK.

But once you get in 'em, you don't want to leave.

2. Down into the 20s in CT tonight. Gotta start thinking

About pulling out the Hudson Bay Blanket. The heavy armor.

4. Good call!

I will be soon, as well... Those things are THE BOMB this time of year...

6. We just splurged

On a Biddeford king size! Used it for the first time last night.

9. I believe that the "Biddeford" marketing name, is for the Pepperell Mills Plant in Biddeford, ME.

My grandmother worked there in the 30's. Powered by the Saco River.

11. Unfortunately, now they're made in China. -nt

12. Yep, the Mill went to NC. Before it went to China. Back in the 60's.

13. Just put on our flannel sheets and electric blanket here in Montana. We had a dusting of snow

a couple of days ago, followed by two days of almost 60. But I hear the cold weather is headed our way soon. Supposed to be 18F tomorrow night. Nothing like snuggling into flannels and the old electric blankey.

14. Mine's on 4

Not too cold, not too hot.

[ratchiweenie]

20. Mine's on 3 for now. I like to sleep just a little warm. Being slightly overweight, I tend to

generate a bit of my own heat.

15. 95 minutes into this thread and no cat story

We all know how they love heating pads and warm spots.

I can only surmise DU electric blanket owners must be cat haters, or they turn the house temperature so low at night, the kitty could not survive the cold night anyway.

16. No cat or dog yet, but I'm totally open if they show up.

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. Also, as that Macinrow tennis dude says...."you can't be serious!"

[Bayard]

18. We've had the flannel sheets on for over a week

Been getting down in the 20's at night. Not the 'electric blanket yet though--two cats and a wiener dog have been enough.

19. Optimal Bedding situation.

Our pets keep us warm at night.
