Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 The problem is the AC will only go 15-20 below the outside temp so it is still so hot in here. The humidity is gone, but heat still gets me. I have my cooling vest on cause it's 75 in the house at almost 8 pm here in Indiana.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Our town does a great job spraying for mosquitos I think I have seen less than 10 this summer. I am glad my tax dollars are being put to use. It wasn't that nice before the west nile virus was going around.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Shirley- That's my problem too. The only AC I have is one window unit. So, I close all the doors except for the one room I stay in. (Living room) It's still 82 degrees in here at 8:51 PM. This is North Carolina, so the humidity is rough, but the window unit at least keeps the humidity outside, where it belongs.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Mindy- My big plan for the day was to wait until the sun started going down. Then, I was going to take a walk. Well, that didn't work out the way I planned. It still never got cool enough. The sun is totally down now, and it's still hotter than a hornet. There is a pond a couple yards away from my back door. The mosquitoes are having a camp meeting in my back yard. The heat doesn't seem to bother them much. Maybe it's because the humidity is so high. Blessed be...Val -- How are you all holding up in the heat? I live in Northern WI/Upper Michigan and today it was 101...UGH....even the mosquitos are hiding. And the humidity on top of the heat.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 It is still 94 here at 10:30---just saw that on the news. We hit 103 again today. Stayed inside today except for a quick dip in the pool. Not very cool since the water temp was 88. Yesterday I was outside all day at a ball tournament. It was pretty miserable. Didn’t seem to affect me too much. Drank tons of water and sat in the shade. Weatherman is calling for 100s all week. Yuk…. Can’t believe it was101 in Wisconsin. Its supposed to be cool up there.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 LOL... yep that's me! Yesterday it was overcast in the morning and we were able to open the blinds. Wow! Light! Then the clouds cleared off and everything had to be closed up again to keep that burning sun out. Sharon (MSersLife Group Owner/Creator) Kind words may be short... but their echoes are endless....

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Years ago, after just returning to Arizona from New York, I moved into a neighborhood where many of my neighbors did just that! LOL Kids everywhere! No adults. They were out at night though. Sometimes we'd hear the sounds of power tools as "projects" were untertaken. They weren't MSers or Vampires though. LOLOL So nice to get out of there! ROFL Challis Trimm wrote: Have ya'll started to feel like hermits or vampires...go outside in the night when it's cool then creep around inside during the day?
