Don't know how much they cost, and it wouldn't make you any cooler.
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.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

Ice cream: the one I was just given is this [link] .

Our wings are not tired.
I'm noticing a Cuisinart theme! Which is great, since most of my counter-top dealies are Cuisinart.

I have no idea where our ice cream maker ended up, but I think I might make a concerted effort to find it tomorrow, because I want to make some ice cream with luxuardo cherries (the syrup has crystallized, so it's a pain to extract individual cherries for cocktails). Maybe some peaches? Creole cream cheese? Mmm.

Someone in the dog park gave me a brand new Cuisinart ice cream maker years ago and I've yet to use it. This summer for sure!
