My wife of ten years, Bonnie, is usually really easy to get along with.

• She’s low maintenance and fun and I love being with her on a regular basis.

There’s honestly only one thing about her that gets on my nerves. And this is probably going to sound silly, but the problem is that Bonnie constantly complains about having cold feet. It’s an everyday thing, and it drives me nuts. She’s always saying that the heating system in our house is no good and that we need to turn the thermostat system up higher and higher. I always tell her that you can’t turn the temperature in the house up higher than 85 degrees, but even when the thermostat is set as high as it will physically go, Bonnie still fusses about her feet being cold! I have put in special floor heating vents for her, but she still says they aren’t good enough. Who knows how much we’ve spent on fancy slippers and socks and heating pads? Not only that, but she wants to run our gas fireplace all the time in the winter and that can’t be good for our indoor air quality. Anyway, my HVAC technician suggested that we might want to think about having radiant heated flooring installed in our house. I researched it and I know that radiant heating is very expensive. But honestly, if I could get Bonnie to stop complaining about her cold feet all the time, the expense for radiant heated flooring would probably be worth it. Heck, I would pay double if that would happen!
