I do find interesting to see how we compare with others. We tend to need more warmth in the winter - 76 to 78 and not so cool in the summer - 78 to 79.

To ask that question means it would be a different person and different body weight.

And people are answering as follows:
Does TOTV give away prizes if you find other people's mistakes?
Or do people volunteer to help out of the goodness of their heart?

Both. We do it to keep certain people busy.

I respectfully disagree. In fact, baloney. This is not about body fat. It's about... well, see above.

72 for heat - day or night because my bedroom is colder than the rest of the house. 78 for A/C

I didn't know we had heat and AC in the houses.

Sorry, but window air conditioners are not allowed in The Villages. Check your deed restrictions and covenants you signed when you bought.

ST, perhaps Luis doesn't own a home in The Villages, or live here. Many posters don't.
I think he is just looking for recommendations for the best brand of window air conditioner.
Luis, maybe check the ratings on amazon.com
