He'd go down to the kitchen and turn on the oven and leave the oven door open to warm just the kitchen.

My guest of honor, before I let him get into his favorite striped socks, is going to have a bit of a chit chat with me about some of his alleged extracurricular activities (see the HHH thread for more details, for those who do not know what I am talking about).

My grandmother used to do that--turn the oven on full blast and leave the door open. Given what electricity costs nowadays, it probably wasn't such a cost-saving method of heating! LOL
I think back on how my parents used to keep the thermostat at 72 and there wasn't a flake of insulation in the walls. Times have changed in that regard!
