How do you make a bedroom less "stuffy?" (Partner sleeping conditions thread!)

[Not DJSapp]

Install a ceiling fan.

This. Moving air coming from up top is the key.

we have 2 cats and a dog, but luckily we also have a bedroom door- problem solved as far as that goes. Also helps with being able to crack the window without causing the rest of the house to get frigid.

I'm curious, at what number of cats does someone become a weird cat lady? My wife has a friend with three, and this friend is kooky, but not crazy...yet.
Four cats might send her into crazy territory?

there's definitely a function of the number of cats, but I also feel like it's how they act with said cats... I know a chick with only one cat but she thinks the thing is her literal child and it's honestly creepy and weird to be around her sometimes with the way she treats it.

my gf's roommate has a cat that yowls and scratches at the door on occasion in the early mornings; if it successfully gets in the room and hops on the bed and wakes me up i pick it up and send it flying out into the hallway, I think it's slowly learning it's lesson. I hate cats.

That throw-pillow really ties the room together.

Here for the throw pillow.

Is that your grandma's house?

You boys and your pillow obsession, didn’t realize this was Bravo channel Real Housewives discussion. Pillows are ugly as sin, but great to throw at cats.

1. Shoot the cats.
2. Tell her to only sleep naked and you'll rub her down with ice cubes as needed.
3. Shoot the cats.

4. Post pics of GF.


Did this really take 5 pages. Fuck all y'all.

Very civilized.


Most of the rooms we had on our early-summer trip to Bavaria/Switzerland had what amounted to two twins pushed together - each with their own individual set of sheets and comforter.

But she can't sleep because it is stuffy....

Ideas?

Stuffy points to high CO2 levels. Good news is it's easy to find out with one $150 monitor that logs 24/7.

If it is CO2 there's only one proven way to address it, a fresh air change every 3 +/- hours (source for this is ASHRAE).

Opening a window in cold weather is one way to address it. The modern way is with an ERV (energy recovery ventilator) device, which mechanically draws in fresh outside and recovers some heat and humidity in winter (or cold and dehumidified in summer) from the conditioned air being mechanically exhausted.

If your living space is well insulated and super airtight then what you're experiencing is the same thing everyone with a tight house experiences, and an ERV is the answer.

I've been through all this with two homes I've owned. I tried air purifiers, circulation fans, ceiling fans, HEPA filtration blah blah blah. The fresh air change was the clear winner.

Tip: An ERV is something an HVAC contractor installs unless you're uber handy (electrical, mechanical, addon ductwork, building/roof penetrations). So before you spend a few thou on doing this it's wise to spend $150-300 on a decent air quality monitor to record CO2 (and for extra credit VOCs, particulates, humidity, radon) levels over say two months time.

My old-ish house had acceptable CO2 levels most of last winter but didn't all summer where it had medium to high levels. I was surprised, so consider a few months monitoring might not get a lot of variety in some houses. Also it doesn't really matter what the levels are in one way - if your woman needs fresh air, get her fresh air. You can't tell her the CO2 levels are acceptable and you will just close the window for her, ha.

I'm not so sure that's what kitty if thinking. I'm more inclined it is along the lines of the already stated "I'ma eat your face."

Glad it isnt me, I was just reading through this and wondering what he brings to the TGRZ, he just responds to everything with hate and insults. as near as I can tell just some internet tough guy from the Midwest who doesn’t even ski.

The thought of people that don’t ski using this forum sickens me.

Without skiing we’re just a bunch of whites guys, which can be problematic.

[grskier]

Definitely not dating your ex fred. Tall, rips on skis but not bikes. I definitely don't think we date the same type of gal

I have discovered by talking with colleagues that window open in the winter is not a rarity. I just think it is expensive and wasteful, even if you don't have noise/temp issues.

Also anyone have any tips on how to get 4 year old cats to not want to sleep on the bed? Shutting them out of the room creating pure panic and mayhem as they yowled and rattled the door. Giving them heated cat beds got the dominant cat off, but now the other cat feels free to get on the bed.

mosquito screens on the bed.

and ditto to the fan and humidifier suggestions.

I think about this a lot. I mean what in the actual JHC fuckety-fuck?
And didn’t we address your pillows in the wife thread?

My pillows have been addressed for over a decade here, I was also skiing during that time so it’s all good.

I started the thread about whether you ever go to a meetup / rendezvous or plan to ever meet other mags in person. The whole point was trying to out this guy. He actually commented that he thought that could be uncomfortable. Yeah, so maybe try not being an asshat all the time?

What does one get out of throwing shit all the time? Seems the obvious answer would be hanging out in a room full of shit.

[Danno]

I started the thread about whether you ever go to a meetup / rendezvous or plan to ever meet other mags in person.

With a few notable exceptions, I start out with the mindset that everyone here is a friend or potential future friend. If you start with a different premise, well, things will be different. Stated another way, if you french fry when you're supposed to pizza, you're gonna have a bad time.

Where have I heard that before? It sure seems familiar. Can't quite place. Hmmm.

You’re old school which I appreciate.

But, 15 years ago, especially in Colorado, it was quite common for mags to meet up.

I think trying to share some common ground is fun in the vain of “it will be fun to further discuss that in person.” What’s the fun in “another good day on TGR forums, damn I pissed in a bunch of guys’ cheerios?”

what the fuck did I miss here, i thought we were just complaining about cats on comforters

we started locking our cats out of the room. i feel like a jerk doing it, but our big one (aptly named Big Girl or Kisa) will just sit on our chest and paw our noses until we pay attention to her, and then as soon as one of us falls asleep she'll move over to the other one

anyway let's get this back on track we got either nudes of the girlfriend (she knows and is an enthusiastic, consenting participant), cat pics, or I can just spam McPhee's inbox with my personal man meat photo collection, got some real classics in there

fuck people who cunt this place up
