I've spent the last three days sweltering in my top floor apartment with no A/C and the temps over 100F in DC. I ended up working from home because I could keep the door open and have a cross-breeze, and keep my cats from boiling up. BUT... I now have air-conditioning! The maintenance guy came by this morning and couldn't believe the heat in my apt, so he went to an empty apt and stole the A/C unit from there instead of waiting two more days for a new one... so I have A/C! ahem Just thought I'd share... Lady Giggles Mistress of the Bath, Lady of the Dance, Bounteous Countess of Cupid's Bow , Wet Russelling Watery Wench, Nurturing Nurse of Neuroses and Phantom Kibbitzer(Swish!!) I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time. - Charles M. Shulz Strangth and Honour Sweeeeeeeeet! - Vac Pat Last Edited By: hkdrs 06/10/2008 05:57 AM. Edited 1 times.

LOL -- Oh no, the "understanding landlord" had me sitting in the heat all weekend through tomorrow! It was totally the maintenance guy who saved me today! The only saving grace was the fact that I live in a 75 year old building which was built before A/C, so it's got GREAT circulation. We have these cabana doors so that you can open your main door and get the cross breeze created by the fans in the hallways, but still be locked in and private. Only problem is that it doesn't have external locks so I couldn't leave it open for the kitties while I went to work. Current temp in DC outside: 92F, feels like 98F; inside: 72F Lady Giggles Mistress of the Bath, Lady of the Dance, Bounteous Countess of Cupid's Bow , Wet Russelling Watery Wench, Nurturing Nurse of Neuroses and Phantom Kibbitzer(Swish!!)

I think night before last we broke the record low held since the 1890s. It's 10:30am and only 54°F with a high expected of 63°F. Oddly enough, we had a day last month that hit 105. Weird weather everywhere. What we do in life... echoes in eternity. Isis, Queen of Pits

Crowe Crossing Member Posts: 544 (06/10/2008 11:54 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Report Post	And congrats to Connor, mara. This may sound rather wimpy to all you enduring really hot weather, but we've been grousing for the last 3 weeks, with temperatures round 30C ( that's around 85F). Doesn't sound like much (my Argentinian pal is always laughing at me when I complain), but you have to remember that houses in this part of the world are built to absorb and conserve heat.... and air-conditioning in private housing is virtually non-existant. It gets really sweaty after a couple of days.... And just to add to my miseries, the air-circulation system at work (it has some cooling, but to call it air-conditioning would be way over the top) broke a couple of days into the heat-vawe. It does get really hot in a room with big South-facing windows with a computer running at all times. Luckily, the weather broke yesterday, and now we're back to regular summer programming. About what Isis is enjoying, well, a bit warmer. Pas, are you happy with your Iphone? I'm sorely tempted to get one, now that they are finally releasing them here in Sweden in July. It would be so neat to be able to lug around one toy instead of the three (phone, pod and pocket pc) that are rattling round in my bag at present.

I knew when I told Mom to go that it would be soon. I'm dying for a PDA, but gadgets arent in the budget right now - soon...................................... It's 95 right now in Newark - it's actually pretty good in the building, we've turned alot of the lights off, but I have to have the fan running in our office since it was never meant to hold humans - it's a converted storage closet - no natural light at all. sigh conga rats to Connor - you go kid!! Meaghan tells me CJ is learning new sign words everyday - he's so quick!! And he has begun to wander around the property - time for a leash! He heard me on the skype connection and said "ight" - which is his version of "light" - the word I taught him when he was with me. I miss his sweet little face and the kisses he sends me! Snow in Wash state, huh? I wish we had a half of that weather - I watch the storms in the Midwest (has MM been around?) and remember the tornados that went by me in IL and IA - we dont get much of that around here, although there's a severe thunderstorm warning for the NY Metro area for the next few hours. "Movin' Out" is going up in a bit, gotta go! Once, always, Russell Crowe "beauty...delight...passion" no contemporary actor is better at conveying an uncluttered personal integrity and nobility of spirit. "a very honest performer with a physical charisma and set of technical skills that make him one of the best actors of his generation"

It hit 100 for the first time this summer in Bakersfield (where I work) today. In a typical summer it will stay up there until October. On my mountain however it is still lovely. Yes the play-offs are nearly over and if his team holds on they will go to the finals with other California cities. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." ~ Dave Barry

I was gonna blame all this cold weather on Canada (you know it's almost always there fault) until I watched the news tonight and learned it began in Alaska before it swooped down into B.C. and then straight down to us. So sorry my Canuck friends, it's our fault. I didn't wear my winter coat to work because it wasn't quite that cold but I did find it a good excuse to wear my Rabbitohs hoody. One of the benefits of this weather is my electric bill will be fairly small this month. Not hot enough to turn on the A.C. or cold enough for the furnace. I can't complain. Hey mara, I heard from my aunt in Bakersfield on Sunday. Small world huh? What we do in life... echoes in eternity. Isis, Queen of Pits
