I take a friend grocery shopping once in a while. She keeps her house
at 80° and I can't stand it. Even with a ceiling fan, I start to feel
sick when it is that hot.

It's never less than 72° in my house during the warm months. In
"winter", the cooler the better!

My mother kept the temp set at 80-82. OMG, I couldn't stand it. I kept
telling her, you can always put on more clothes. There is only so much
I can take off. LOL
