But clothing can be very cheap so why don't people use more of that?

Years ago I requested of TVNZ that announcers dressed very warmly, as an
example to suggest watchers might also. How are they doing? I suppose
it's not very marketish.

It's hard to take the bull by the horns and overcome what people think
of you. Mother encouraged me to wear to primary school a wollen bonnet
with ear flaps, which received some nuisance comments form schoolmates.

A dust mask or even a couple of handkerchiefs tied around the nose can
keep it warm. A motorcycle cold weather mask could be better. Maybe
there are ones with proper heat exchangers between outgoing and incoming
air. Fresh air - oxygen helps us to want to breath and so work the
metabolism. So heat capturing-exchanging ventillators in our bedrooms
could help.

My metabolism does not work so well if I eat too much wheat product and
I can get cold extremities. Perhaps some substances in wheat are
haemagglutinins for ny type of blood. I note that blood typing labs can
use certain plant substances to determine the blood type by finding if
they agglutinate that sample. Or excess sugary fruit of some types may
not be good. Perhaps it encourages too much blood sugar which is a nerve
problem.

My power bill does not eat into my disposable income as much as my
communications bill.

Might try to get to:
