It's 89 degrees outside, I live in a trailer, and my AC is out

[Not_Giving_Up]

This really, really sucks! It won't get fixed until tomorrow.

I'm melting! I'm melting!

[BikeWriter]

1. I'd be in a cool tub of water with a drink and a good book.

[Not_Giving_Up]

3. I'm considering the tub

But I can't take DU there!

[Spinzonner]

2. If you're skin isn't green, pour some water over yourself

[Not_Giving_Up]

5. My skin is definitely not green

Changed to a tank top and shorts.

[datasuspect]

4. head. to. the. bar.

[Not_Giving_Up]

7. And do WHAT with the kids?

Besides, I'm not a drinker. I have to stay home for my recreation. :smoke:

[Darth_Kitten]

6. lots of cool fluids.......

sometimes I cannot use my a/c, or turn it up cause of the wiring in this place (too much power and the breaker goes)

plus cannot have fans cause Murphee the Tiel is usually out and about causing mischief and mayhem. :)

just think: tomorrow relief. :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

9. I'm hoping they come early to fix it

Of course, the owners of the park HATE us, so it might be quite late in the day.

Sydney has calmed down now that we've left the fan alone. I am dripping already.

[Darth_Kitten]

12. just think how happy and safe Sydney is now.

:)

[Not_Giving_Up]

15. Yes...the precious tiel is now calm

While the cats and their humans are melting into little piles of goo.

[Darth_Kitten]

16. we all have to make sacrifices....

truly, I've been there. :) :evilgrin:

[Not_Giving_Up]

17. I've got a nice cool rag around my neck now

The last thing I need is to trigger an asthma attack.

[Darth_Kitten]

19. ouch........

can Sydney be put in another room, away from the ceiling fan?

[Not_Giving_Up]

21. Don't really have anywhere else to put him

where he's safe from feline interruptions. Damn thing was still blowing, but it wasn't cold. I've opened all of the windows with screens on them, trying to catch the breeze that's outside. I'm not having much luck.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

8. cool water on the wrists

can help get the body temperature down below boiling.

[Not_Giving_Up]

10. Thanks

I certainly do not wish to boil.

[Lannes]

11. been there

Not the trailer part but the A/C being out in 90 degree weather.Get a bag of ice and put it in front of a fan.

13. When I first moved to St Louis City in 1990, I did not have

AC and what I did was this:

I'd take a bath right before I was ready to lie down and go to sleep
I would NOT dry off...not anywhere
Turn the fan on and go to sleep.

If you have a friend or family member with AC the better alternative is to spend warm nights at their place.


THANKFUL....OH SO THANKFUL that the new building owners put in CENTRAL AIR this year!!!!!

[Not_Giving_Up]

14. Warm nights?

This is freaking Houston. Not only is it hot, it's sticky! This is getting fixed tomorrow or somebody's gonna hear about it.

[ikojo]

20. St Louis gets very warm and humid

It's horrible. To top it off most of the buildings in the city are brick so in many of them it can get very warm.

[juajen]

18. Been there, done that

Louisiana can be hot, hot, hot, expecially if the ac is out. Hope you have a turbo fan. They are usually around $12 (small) or $24 (larger). Get a spray bottle for each of your family, fill with water, and get in front of the fan. If you can afford it, get a fan for everybody. You'll use them a lot. They move the air around and save on your airconditioning.

[Not_Giving_Up]

22. Unfortunately...the last box fan died a cat induced death

They attacked it until it no longer functioned. Don't have money to get fans, out of work, and just paid $200 to the light company today.

[Not_Giving_Up]

23. I'm going to log off for a while and go sit on the porch

It's cooler out there.

[BikeWriter]

24. Hang in there!

[EC]

25. Sit in front of a fan, with an ice pack under your ankles...

works every time for me...

on edit: Okay, no fan, but the ice packs under ankles work...(I use those blue packs that are for coolers) I have AC, just refuse to use it, because it makes me sneeze all night...
