    John,
    Maybe you should go visit them, for as long as you can stand it. Then pee all over their floor, and make as big a mess as you can.:D You'll have to drink a lot of beer to stand it though. Don't get mad, get even.:)

    This is where I draw the line, John. I set the thermostat where I want it - it's my house; if the house is too hot or cold for you, put more clothes on or take some off. I would tell the penguins to leave the f-----g thermostat alone. If they can't stand it, I'd offer to load their stuff into their car right now.

    I only make a thermostat exception from my normal 68°F for my 90 years young mom and 88 years young step dad when they visit. They prefer a warmer environment. She keeps my house cleaner than I do. I can live with that. :D

    I visited them over Christmas. Managed to tolerate 72°-74°F in their home by wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

    All right, I have the answers to these replies. You guys are making me laugh so hard, and some of the things you say are so truthful. Hilarious! I’ll be back I think

    I don’t text. I’m not very good at it so I don’t. So I go to look and make sure the penguins are not listening because I talk to my phone. I even looked inside the house. They have all gone to bed. Wow!

    So I’m edging the sidewalks. I live on a corner lot so it ends up being about 225 feet of edging sidewalks. It’s time to do the driveway. They’re literally just sitting in front of the garage. Closed door of course. I told them you need to move or you gonna get really blasted with dirt and grass. They went inside. Very cool.

    Depending on which stat you have it can be programed with a min / max temp setting that will not allow it to above or below the preset limits.

    Larry, that’s funny as hell. I do visit them at their cabin in Kentucky every Fourth of July. I bring my own camper though. The only time I go in their house is to take a dump. I like the idea of leaving a mess behind, but my two sons and their wives and their kids would have to go in behind me. Just not gonna do it. :)

    Wow, that’s interesting. I’m sitting in the parking lot of my old high school right now. Have to pick up the neighbor kid. I know it was in high school I did something like an upper decker to the cocaptains of the school band. I think it was more like in the back of their station wagon though. Oh my!

    I think John lost his phone again.

    I've learnt a lot here, but the 'upper decker' is new. That's enough interweb for me today.

    I met the infamous penguins yesterday. They were not the giant monster birds I had expected. Perhaps they were on their best behavior. Shakey Dick does seem to have a somewhat strange shaped bird like neck and jaw. To me they seemed like someones grandparents. The house was as clean or cleaner as my own and on my one trip into the bathroom there wasnt a single drip to be seen. Tried my best not to add one of my own!

    The first time I heard the term was on a radio show. The disc jockey called himself the Greaseman. It was a really strange show, but entertaining.

    Here is a sample of his show:D

    Guess I missed how this is Penguin related.

    I was joking around with John, and suggested a way to get back at the Penguins. (Post 1171) It was just an explanation of the term "upper decker", a term I had never heard before that radio show.

    Does it offend you Fred?

    Didn't offend me, Just couldn't grasp that the video followed this thread.

    I'll gladly delete the video if anyone thinks it is offensive. The Greaseman was a shock jock.:)


    Clearly, the Penguins make John's life challenging to say the least. I guess in laws can do that. Maybe they aren't as bad as that judging by Briz's observations. They sure do get on John's nerves though.:D
