We've had a nasty heat and humidity spell here in the Sothland and its been just MISERABLE! I needed a small fan for my desktop PC (it wont run due to the heat),and one for my son's room. Went to two Targets and a Home Depot. No fans at all! And its still damn HOT!
Help! We're MELTING!!!

1. Will this one do the job?

Damn, its miserable!
And I posted this in the wrong forum too.
Mods, please move to the Lounge.

5. Mav, that's why I got my A/C fixed...

and bought a fan during May Gray. Gotta think ahead! :toast:

11. Don't you live in East County?

No A/C? Uhhh...what?

Lotta cold showers my friend - gotta cool your core temp.

14. My building has no AC or pool!

Cold showers have been my savior.

7. I feel for you.

I am sitting under two of them right now, it is hot here too. Don't know your temps but this is high even for Kansas even in late June. Soak your shirt and go somewhere where there is a breeze. I'm sorry.

16. I work east of Brown Field. By the Otay crossing.

It hit 103 today. Thank Goddess that my office is air conditioned!

9. Next best thing is to order online. RiteAid drugstores have some nice

tower fans at 1/2 price, I bought one yesterday.

For an extra shipping charge, your fans can be received in about two days.

Target and Home Depot both have websites.

17. This happens EVERY summer. The stores only have them in stock

for a short period in the summer. When it heats up the first time, they run out, order more, finally you can buy them, then they clearance what's left out. But I'm sure between Home Depot, Lowes, CostCo, Target, etc. there is one to be bought at this very moment.
