It is HOT!
 

Our Central Heat & Air unit bit the dust today, and now my house is somewhere over 95 degrees(the needle on the thermostat stops at 95).

I had to board my Bulldog, Winston(see Avatar), with the vet until Monday or Tuesday when we can get a new unit delivered and installed.

The bright side...Man I am shedding some water weight [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

dude, I feel your pain. My A/C went out a few weeks ago, and it was 102 degrees in my house, and every single repair place was booked solid. not fun!

I just got a new apartment but I'm too cheap to get air so I'm going through the same thing.

Here's what I would reccomend: get a fan if you don't have one, take cold water scoop a little in your hands and spread it over your chest as well as arms and neck. Then sit in front of the fan letting the water evaporate. Cools you down very quickly. Otherwise you could wrap some ice in a towel or take some frozen veggies from the freezer and put it on your neck. Lots of blood flowing through there so it cools you down well.

the slightly less gay approach to rubbing yourself down with water like a bad backstreetboy video is to just buy a .99 cent water bottle and use the mister feature.

AC is for pussies, unless you live in AZ, NM, or some other absurdly hot area. Its been 90 here for atleast 3 weeks.

yeah my family moved here in 1990 from Traverse City, Michigan in the summer. Meridian, Mississippi had 29 days of 100+ degrees with high humidity, I thought then I was in HELL and then seeing all the christian goodie-goodies proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I feel the pain of everyone in ridiculously hot areas w/o air conditioning but I am more filled with a sense of relief that this thread was not about/did not contain a picture of a shirtless man
