What temperature do you keep your house?

Alright fellas, summer finally showed up big time here in the northeast. We got up into the 90s most of this week with lots of that wonderful humidity. I drank over 4 gallons of water today and still didn't need to take a squirt between noon and 7pm. Yeah...f*** that.
Now personally I'm an eskimo, so my house stays at 69° during the day and 64° for sleeping. I'm staying down here at my buddy's place, and they keep their thermostat set to 78° during the day and it gets turned off at night. I'M ROASTING IN THE PITS OF HELL! Stripped down to the bare essentials and have the small fan in the guest room going full tilt, but I think it's gonna be another one of those sleepless nights.
What do you all keep the house set to? In the winter I wouldn't even turn the heat on if it wasn't for the pipes freezing. Usually keep it at 64/59 once the snow starts to fly. Interested in hearing everyone else's preference.

Good grief, it rarely gets above 75 out side here.
So since we don't have A/C, our house gets to what ever it is outside.
On hot nights, the sea fog rolls in and cools it down and we open windows.
So my input is useless. LOL!
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I try to make subtle hints like, "Damn it's hot as hell in here dude!" Maybe he's not getting the message?
Perhaps I should move on out to Oregon. I could deal with 75 for a high.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
Got a a programmable thermostat, save $$ during the day by kicking it up a few degrees
keep it cool to sleep though

(So,......I cant remember what I set it at.)
Usually set it for 72 for hot days and down to 70 at night. Any warmer than that during the day and it takes hours to cool off the upstairs, even with a fan blowing air up the stairs.
The thermostat will revert to its old program and jump to 68 at night whenever it desires. I have tried resetting and even removed the batteries for a while. I miss the old dial control.
Too much lower and it would run 24/7 and the electric company would get my pay check. The low this morning was 82 high 94 so it gets a workout
