FTD

This is what Myles has coined as Female Temperature Disorder.

(I'm trying not to laugh because as I'm typing this with a laptop on my lap, I am BURNING UP!)

FTD is the condition of feeling comfortable in a very minimal temperature range, like one degree. It is also the condition of major temperature swings in a short period of time, say 5 min. He thought only female adults, such as his mother and I, were sufferers, but it afflicts even our little girls.

"Dad, I'm freezing! I need a hot water bottle!"

(Before the water bottle is found and filled) "Dad, I'm so hot, I can't sleep!"

So, now that we've defined the disease, who's going to research a cure?

Maybe the San Fran. area is calling our names...

Haha! I completely agree, and definitely fit the description :) Though I do have girlfriends who seem to always be cold. Could that be a related disorder?

Very funny! I guess it starts early -- poor Myles is surrounded. I think he had better just put his hand up and surrender.
