My cats are outside on the porch right now. Crazy cats.
I am getting a little concerned that I need to get an air conditioner for my cat.
You can buy fancy cooling beds for pets. Don't know how much they cost, and it wouldn't make you any cooler.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Oh, and I added a chicken breast and water chestnuts to my dinner. Not the best thing ever, but it's doing the job. tommyrot, I need a high-protein diet so I'm careful about having a source in every meal.

I just peeled my stair railing. I wish I was joking. Baseball sized wad of latex paint. It's ugly. But I figure the ugly will motivate me to get it stripped and repainted. God knows how many layers are under that. I know there is a blackish layer somewhere in there.

It might if I laid on it with my cat! I will look I just hate to run the air conditioner all day if I am not home, and it is only 2 - 3 times a year that it gets this bad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The other day when it was 82 or so in my apt, my cat tried to sit on my laptop. She does that because it's warm.
Also, I seem to need three or four ice bags at once.

Sophia, a lot of units (most?) come with an energy saver mode, so they cycle on and off at whatever temp you set it to. My monster units do this. When I was out of town for the first heat wave, I left it set at 78, and not only was the bedroom comfortable, it did keep the rest of the house from getting too vile.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have the cheapest a/c available, and it does not have a thermostat.

My smallest (cheapest) doesn't have one either, but were I to do this again, I would get one with a thermostat.

At my old place all the windows faced west, so while I might have toughed it out on my own, I really could not leave the (heavy coated, part Husky) dog all day without it. Even with windows open it was just beastly hot. I got a cheapy at first but then figured as long as I was paying for it, why not be comfortable, and got one that could keep things at meat-locker levels, even if the blinds were up. It was so awesome getting home on hot days after a long ride on the bus and walking into that.
Now I have central air and keep it at a fairly reasonable level, but my tolerance for it being hot and muggy inside is pretty much gone.
