Home Heating Fears Home heating fears, you say? I have no home heating fears…..Home heating fears are for those who are NOT in the throes of menopause! I don’t need an external thermostat- my internal one is constantly set at 120 degrees! If I’m having a "power surge", my home heat is lowered to the Arctic setting. Everyone else living in my home will have to make do with a parka. That’s just the way it is and that’s the way it’ll be until such time as the chemicals in my body decide to settle down. In the meantime, I won’t worry about the cost of heating this winter. Hey, I’ve got a great idea….let’s put a menopausal woman in the White House- we’d never be bothered by any unruly domestic and foreign politicians again…I can see the campaign slogan now…."Don’t mess with a woman in distress"
