my air conditioner is broken

[Andy]

fuck.

at least it's only 92 degrees at 7:40PM

[Gilly]

Oh man. I totally sympathize. Our apartments have these old, crappy AC units and last summer ours broke and the management didn't believe us that it was broken and not just dirty. They had people come up and clean it and we continued to sweat. Finally, after a couple nights of 100 degree heat and humidity I went down to the office and screamed at them to have somebody up there within an hour. I hate doing that, but sometimes you gotta and it got the job done.

I actually switched to a bunch of turbo fans set up throughout the apartment because my one air conditioner was super-pricey and not doing dick.  It's actually better now.  Though I also don't live in Oklahoma, obviously.

$291 dollars later and it's fixed.

I'm not even going to tell you what happened, because it'll make me sound like a dink.

Puget Sound = Mother Nature's air conditioner

Sorry to hear about the heat ~ I don't like 92 much.

[Sarah]

Johnson's Bay = another of Mother Nature's air conditioners

Fog, too, helps.  It's fifty-four degrees here.

High of 88 with 85% humidity today - hello Ohio summer!

Sigh.

[Sarah]

Thank god I was only born there.

[erika]

Blah. Yeah it's already 85 here. Thank goodness they decided to equip my office with air conditioning last week. A few weeks ago we all almost melted. (No, really.)

[buffcoat]

People, it's 97 degrees here today, and we've already had three 100+ days this year.  We broke the record for 100+ days last year and broke all kinds of daily temp records.  Unofficial recordings of 107 and the like.  And the nearest desert is 2000 miles away.

North Carolina - we have three of the best seasons imaginable.

[erika]

You should find yerself a swimmin hole.

[Spoony]

No AC at my place either... I'm sweating through my shoes. Brooklyn is a kiln.

[Laurie]

I would melt without AC.

You'll need:
1. Big bowl
2. Big fan

Directions:
1. Fill bowl with water and let it freeze overnight
2. Place bowl of solid ice behind fan
3. Blast fan
4. Ice will have a slight cooling effect as it melts

I had to blast my shitty old window unit during the West Coast heatwave, but this trick has gotten me through a few rough nights.

this summer=dry oven heat in phoenix, az
next summer=merciless humidity back home

people ask me if its better here since its a dry heat.  listen, stick your face in an oven, then stand in a sauna, and tell me which you "prefer".
