[QUOTE="totoro, post: 284062, member: 3155"] I am so sorry. I do not miss that at all. Living in North West Indiana for those 3 years I don't know how you folks lived with that. I know husband who grew up in Chicago and in the heart of the city for a long time, a lot of the time, but, a lot of the folks who did not have AC would put wet sheets up in the doorways and windows. If they had fans they would blow them in the doorways producing a cool breeze. In the windows, if the wind blew it would produce a cool breeze. It saved lives in downtown Chi. When you drive in downtown in the high apartments you can see the sheets blowing in windows. I would set a bowl of ice on a chair or stool in front of a fan and then park my butt in front of it... I also cried a lot. I am sorry. It is so true that the dry heat really is not as bad. We have been over 100 or in the upper 90's for over 2 months now and it has not been horrible. We open the doors in the morning and then shut the house up by 10 am. Something to be said for adobe. Hang in there. I would search on all of the sites as well. Garage sale also. [/QUOTE]
