It Is So Friggin Hot In Here!

[qIat]

No A/C in my room, I can't open the windows because bugs crawl in, and it's floats around 95*F all day. Even at night, it doesn't get much lower than 90*F.

Anyone have any ideas to feel cooler? Outside of sitting in a tub of ice? Hehe.

And no, I'm NOT gonna buy a window A/C unit.

it finally cooled down in the chicago area...ahhh

Get a screen on your window. That'll keep the bugs at bay.

I have a screen. But when I did a wee bit cleaning this morning, there were cobwebs on the bottom to corners of my window. This is absolutely horrible. I'm gonna pass out from dehydration! ARGH!

 

[syzygy]

its the sky high humidity that kills. the air is laced with fossil fuel
emmissions; the heat cannot escape and we choke. to think the major car
manufacturers can't make the needed investments to decrease these
emmissions is so maddening.

Get a can of RAID and spray the corners of the window where the screen doesn't cover. That will keep the bugs off for 2 weeks.

here are your options:

a: suck it up and buy a window AC unit. if it gets that hot there, you need one.

b: open the window. a cobweb will not hurt you. the bugs will find a way in with the window closed anyways, so just don't worry about it. if there really is a problem with bugs, then you could seal up the screen on your window a little better.

c: sit in a tub of icewater

d: get out of your house and do something where there is AC.

e: go sleep in a hotel, even though it would be cheaper to buy a window AC unit.

Screens will work. The spiders are just hanging out there to see if any insects get through, just think of them as bouncers.

Because I don't have $200 to blow.

 

[blueghost75]

well, your gonna have to find $200 to blow then, because there is not really any other solution. i wouldn't think that opening the window would not help in the first place....

oh, and you could probably get a window unit for around $120-$150. Its not going to get the place really cold, but it would be good enough to sit in front of....

 

[ugh]

My temp is around that region all the year. I stay near the equator so...

that sucks, I'm kinda freezing at my work here ~shivers~

I would rather have it freezing than being &quot;ovenized&quot;. You can always wear more clothes if it's cold, but you can't take off your shirt if it's hot in the office...
