It is 105 F (41 C) here today, and I’m inside (big surprise). Of course, I am running my air conditioner, but I got my electricity bill, and I want to make sure it doesn’t get any higher next month than it was this month. So, instead of putting the air on freezing, I also turned on my tower fan, and am making sure I put it to work. What are you guys doing to stay cool? I feel for those without air conditioning.

It's just the air-conditioning for us during the summer season. Iced cold drinks, tropical fruits, or we just go to the mall.

We keep our a/c on for the humidity, we like the temperature the same winter or summer and the a/c helps with that as well as the humidity. I hope that your fan works.

@AmbiePam I’m just thankful to live somewhere where it’s never that hot.

I run the AC when I need to these days. I used to try to almost never use it but I'm too old to be uncomfortable in my own space. I do have a tabletop fan on the table and also next to my bed so I can be comfortable when the windows are open.
