slo’s FRIDAY 8/22 poll - TV Blanket

[slo]

The older I get, the more I look forward to sitting in front of the TV with my favorite blanket - there’s just something so nice, comfy and relaxing about it. Not everyone uses a blanket when watching TV, and then some of us use one 100% of the time. My DH is someone that uses one in the winter, when it’s really cold, but never ever when it’s 30 degrees and higher outside. How about you? Are you a TV blanket user? Give us your warm, comfy answer today……

When you watch TV, do you use a blanket?
If yes…..when?
Do you use one blanket, or more than one?
(multiple choice)



For Me……I absolutely can not watch TV without a blanket - I must have one. I don’t care what time of day it is, I don’t care how hot it is outside, I must have a blanket. I do have a light weight blanket for warmer weather months and a heavier one for cold weather months. In fact, the heavier one is a blanket my step dad (RIP) gave me when I was like 14 or 15 years old, so this blanket is now like 38 years old. It’s been patched up multiple times, and isn’t the prettiest blanket, but I don’t care, it’s very special to me. I’m waiting for the day for it to disintegrate when I wash it, but until that day, I’ll continue to use it .

Not my blanket

I Always have a blanket But I switched them up Mine are more theming For the time of the year I have a summer themed one I have a spring themed one and I have holiday themed ones so it just depends on what time of the year what blanket I’m using since We do not have a holiday right now I’m currently using the lion King blanket Pretty soon I’ll be breaking out my Halloween blanket Then I’ll have my fall blankets then I’ll be breaking out my Christmas blankets After Christmas I’ll be moving onto my winter looking blankets praying for spring so I can break out my spring blankets And yes I have an issue I have a lot of blankets but I have to have one because I’m always cold if I lay down on the couch to watch TV I have to have a blanket sometimes when I’m sitting in the chair to watch TV I want a blanket and he may say well just turn the air up a little bit so it’s not so cold it’s not that simple because I have pets and they’re walking around wearing fur I can’t have them all hot and panting just because I’m cold and trust me I’m already in a sweatshirt it may be 99° outside but in my house I’m one of the sweatshirt and I still want a blanket

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Almost all of the time, even in the summer. Somehow I cannot seem to sit on the couch and watch tv w/o a blanket.

 

[Meriweather]

Never......I am up and down too much and always doing something else while watching TV.
They get in the way. It's never cold here, so never. There are plenty nearby. Once in awhile DGD will grab one.

 

[Moliphino]

I use a blanket most of the time. We don't have central air, so in the summer it's often too warm to use one. If it's at all chilly I do. I have different blankets for different seasons. Winter needs a heavy duty one.

Not only do I have a blanket… but I snuggle in my blanket with my boojiboo Angel, Stitch, Elio, and Sulley too!

 

[leebee]

Yup, I use one of two blankets in the fall/winter/spring, and put a lighter throw into the rotation in the summer. I don't really need a blanket in the summer, but our house doesn't have a/c. Sometimes, even when it's warm, the blowing fan makes me want to snuggle up... so I do!

 

[BrianL]

Your poll neglects one thing - I use a blanket 100% of the time, even the summer, but it's not because of the temperature, it's because of the cat. In the summer when I am wearing shorts, she's going to want to jump up on my bare legs - OUCH! So, I have to get the blanket in place, sometimes double it over, to keep her claws at bay.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I use a blanket almost 100% of the time. I have a quilt that I made many years ago that I use in warm weather. I have a fleece that I use in cold weather. There is something cozy about having a blanket.

 

[ronandannette]

I don’t need a blanket - our living room is plenty warm enough all year round and if I was ever chilly, I’d put on socks and a hoodie. I’d feel weird all bundled up, plus I’m often up-and-down multi-tasking while the TV is on so it would be too cumbersome.

 

[MIGrandma]

I blankets! I have several for all seasons, and Christmas, etc. I mostly buy The Big One blankets from Kohl’s. I had a beautiful one with trees on it, accidentally left it at an Airbnb and even though their cleaners found it I never got it back. Still sad about that.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Always have a blanket handy, but only grab it when I'm chilly or just need something cuddly. I have different ones for different holidays/seasons.

 

[NYCgrrl]

There is a blanket on my sofa but it’s really for show. Love the way the fabric texture and color contrast.

 

[Micca]

Probably have a throw at least half the time. I started using one when it was cold, but now I just like it for comfort.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I might use a blanket that's lying around in the room maybe if coming in from really cold weather, but it doesn't last long on me. Not really a blanket person.

 

[#1hoosierfan]

I always use a blanket. One stays on the couch on one on the loveseat, They get changed out according to the season/holiday.

 

[fla4fun]

I would like to use a blanket, but it’s just too hot 99% of the time. For me to use a blanket, even on the bed, the temperature needs to be below 60 degrees, and that is rare indoors here, even in the winter (I don’t run heat in the winter either). So I make do with a nice fluffy soft pillow that makes the furniture more comfortable and usually stretch out on the sofa under the ceiling fan.

 

[CynBeth]

I use a blanket 100% of the time. In winter I sometimes double them. Usually they are ones I have gotten on Disney trips but also for favorite sports teams.

 

[Kitty 34]

I have a blanket just for sitting on the couch and a fan for when I get hot sitting with my blanket.
