Help me I'm melting! What a cruel world!

Michigan is notorious for it's humidity. I'd rather not use AC but I didn't get much sleep last night laying in a pool of my own sweat. That's why I hate summer anymore. In the winter, you can always put on some more clothes when it gets too cold. But for summer, I've run out of clothes to take off! Bring on the AC! [img]wink.gif[/img]

AC is the only way to go.

It's a bitch keeping the igloos from melting up here...

we just installed a fireplace on the 2nd floor of our igloo.

Do the other eskimos have two floors? Or just one?

**Peter Peeker** · July 18th, 2005, 05:48 PM

eskimo is a derogatory term.
the correct word is Inuit.

I got one of those fancy high-tech thermostats that gave sculpey problems... What made it easy for me was that i just set every single option to 72 degrees... the rest is some kind of magic science i don't understand, but the temp in my house is always perfect...

of course, with the heat wave last month my electric bill was $270... but that's a small price to pay... well, more of a hefty price to pay, but still...

My condolences Andyman. And my wishes for a speedy fix/replacement! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep, that's about what ours runs in July & August. Of course we can go almost the whole winter without turning on the heat and have like $70 power bills then, so it all evens out.... somehwere. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
