Do you keep a thermometer at home?

Yes, I keep mercury-glass type of thermometers (2 at a time) at home. Sometimes the mercury gets stuck (I experienced once, so I cross check the reading of one with the other always.

Electronic (shows the reading in digital no,s), I do not what it is made of. It is very handy and useful.

Mercury and glass. Main user is my child.

Yes, we do have the thermometer at our home. Its very handy instrument which can help us keeping check on the body temperature whenever we feel some extra warmth in the body or rise in body heat. The mercury mark deviates from the zero mark to 98.4 F if the body temperature is normal else it will show some deviated reading. It is basically used to diagnose the mild to severe temperature at home itself. If the mild temperature is there then we may take some medicine like Crocin or paracetamol but ifs rising morew than 101 F then we have to consult the doctor for the proper diagnosis and medical attention.

i keep a thermo meter at home. mercury thermometer. i have kept it for the use of my family. it helps in preliminary diagnosis of fever ;)

I keep in home,but normally I do not use it. Because there is no need of it.

ya i hav a mercury in glass thermometer at home... i use it whenever anyone in the family is ill.....

Each of us has one personal thermometer at home since SARS hit Singapore in 2003. All have digital ones, mine is mercury.

Each one in the family has one personal thermometer. All the rest in the family have a digital one but mine is mercury

Digital one's these days are by far easier to handle and far smaller. I own a digital one, rarely use it, even when I'm ill. Although I've never been seriously ill, unless you include love sickness :)

I always have a thermometer around, because I keep lots of kids, I like the digital, the kids bit the glass one.

a vicks digital sort of like they use at a doc office reads realy fast. we all use it ,I by the probe covers for it

Mercury thermometer for me. It's not failed me each time with readings. Some electronic ones do not perform so well as I've tried using ones from Omron before. Funny thing is when you have it in the house, the need to use it reduces drastically than compared to if you didn't have one available.

ye si used to..da last one wuz broken....

Yes ofcourse. It is Farenheit digital thermometer for taking reading when any one in family falls sick. Usee it once ina while.

In our household we have several thermometers. We do not have a Mercury--N-Glass thermometer because we have a young child in the home. Personally I like my basil thermometer the best. I used it when we were trying to conceive, but ended up liking it afterwards because it temps to the hundredths. We also have a thermometer that scans the forehead. They are neat, but I find they vary on accuracy.
