Warming the footsies
26th December 2011
It's cold out thar!
The economy is in the crapper, so if you've turned the heat down to save some money, but have trouble sleeping due to the cold, this hint may be of help.
Just take an empty 2 liter soda bottle and fill it with boiling water (be careful, the boiling water can burn you).
Make sure to fill it to the absolute top, and tighten the cap on it. If you don't fill it up to the top, as the water cools, the bottle will contract. Don't worry about the bottle melting, it's not going to melt except under direct flame (thousands of degrees).
Wrap the hot bottle in a bath towel or old sweatshirt (direct contact with the plastic can cause burns) and stick it down by your footsies (or wherever warmth is needed).
Stay warm!
