Am I the only one? email this discussion to a friend?

Now that it's getting warmer out I'm hearing a lot about air conditioning. I guess the majority of people have central air.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a/c?

Right now I don't even so much as have a room air conditioner. I used to... but it was old and it didn't survive the move (because I left it sitting on the porch in the snow for a few weeks!)

Who else does not have air conditioning and just deals with the heat, and places fans strategically?

What do you think when you hear people complaining how their a/c has died and they had to live a day or two in the heat? Sometimes those stories annoy me... especially the year I was pregnant in the summer (that baby turns 3 today!!). Another pregnant woman complained that her a/c died and she had to survive the weekend without it. Needless to say between being miserable, 9 months pregnant, extremely overheated, and hormonal... I was quite annoyed at her!! LOL

i,here in shenzhen, have a/c in the office in daytime.
but when i go back to the garden district where i live,i have no a/c,only use the fan. in fact,before u go to bed, sitting before the fan,and slow down ur blood flow,then u'll feel not so hot.
i think a/c is not good to health,and dont like to use it if i can .

I too dont have a a/c and dont plan on getting one. I remember going to over to my friend house and always wearing a sweater because Id be freezing because they ahd the a/c turned up. Maybe, because I grew up with no a/c and just fans and a swimming pool.*shug* I think its a waste of money.

We don't have ac either. We never have. For the most part it hasn't bothered me not having it. The only time I wish I had it was at night because it was hard to sleep really hot. But then we started just putting our fans in the window blowing in once the air cooled down at night and that usually helped. I don't care for ac too much. I don't even use the ac in my car much unless it is really hot. I would rather crack a window and have fresh air.

well I do have one but I dont use it unless it is extremely unbearable hot out. Its expensive to use. I just leave all my windows open and I have a fan in my bedroom. It works really good sometimes I am freezing in my room with just that.

I live in a tropical country, air-conditioner is a MUST to us because the weather in the spring and summer is very humid and hot, if we don't turn on the air conditioner, it makes us very uncomfortable, and sweaty especially at night, we can't sleep without the air condionter, we will wake up from sweating and sticky in the bed.

You mean that you didn't slap her face?lol
As you know I live in a hot country and when I obught my little house ther were 2 ac's but teh very old fashioned klind that eat up elelctricity. I honestly cannot afford to use them at all. We have large ceiling fands that are placed over the beds and these are so fgood - plus my windows are left open at night too. My windows are grilled and they have coolers atttached to them so no one can see in and they are safe. Coolers are like a larrice work structure over the window that lets in the air and gives privacy. I would love to have an ac in my bedroom but this is out of the question.

Well we didn't have ac till this summer.We used to manage with the water cooler we had which we used only for summers.However this summer we bought central ac and it feels really fantastic to sit in the cold and cozy room totally unaware of the heat outside.Once you are in no one wants to step out.

I don't have air conditioning either. I don't mind the heat,but the humidity has been awful here lately. That makes it seem so much hotter than what it is. I hope to put in a window unit shortly. I grew up without it but my husband is used to having it so he complains a great deal. It drives me crazy! I wear a sweater when we go out so that I don't get too cold. It seems that everywhere we go they have it on high and I freeze.

Im Such a panzy when it comes to heat, i hate it. ive had a/c in my house for as long as i remember. being able to recluse myself in my room when its 100+ degrees outside. i dont like gettin all sweaty just by sitting there cuz its so hot. But taking a cold shower on hot days is very refreshing though!
