No AC?! Here's how I'm staying cool!! Get some ice cubes and rub all over the face, neck, arms, and legs or simply sprinkle on cold water!! Dont want all that ice melting!!? Get cold soda cans and rub on the face neck and every where!! This is a Good old fashioned stay cool trick that's easy and cheaper!! Save money by turning off the ac every couple of hours and try this!! You'll save 60 % or more on your electric!!

We do not have AC, to wet our back wrists with cold water cools down our body. Here it is not extremely hot.

@db20747 Sorry about your AC. Sounds interesting what you do. I have had a AC or grew up with one. I have always used fans and they seem to work for me.
