That's a great description for a house: it's designed to hold the heat in. That fits my apartment building too. There is just no circulation of the air. Your idea to put fans in the windows to blow the air in is a really good one. A neighbor of mine does the same thing. She also has a large floor fan that she uses to move the air down the hallway from one room to another. My sister gave me the idea to use the overhead fan in a counterclockwise fashion to move the air downward, and that does help quite a bit, and I've been doing that for the last 2 years. Using the fans in the windows overnight is an excellent idea that you have, but when the temperature and humidity remain rather high overnight, then that doesn't work so well. Do you have an air conditioner that you can use to help cool off? Going to Walmart as a last resort to enjoy some cool temps is a good idea too, though I suspect it gets tiresome to be in Walmart for too long a time. We have some cooling centers in the city, and the closest to me is a library, where a person can maybe enjoy reading a book or a magazine while getting cooled down.__ Like you, we in Wisconsin also can get some very tough winters with freezing temps and snow and shortened number of hours of daylight, which causes SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), which a lot of people have to some degree. __ Well, yesterday the heat and humidity finally moderated, and things are fine for a while. I'm happy to hear that you are getting some relief from the weather.__ If you lived in Florida previously, didn't you also have to put up with the warm and humid temps -- and also the insects?! __ By the way, my apartment faces west, so in the afternoon I get the sun beating down directly on my apartment, which really tends to raise the temperature. I wish that my apartment faced in a different direction, but moving is expensive and an ordeal. When I first moved into the apartment, there was a beautiful big tree that protected my apartment from the afternoon sun, and also gave me a lot of privacy. Unfortunately, several years ago, the tree had to be cut down because of beetle infestation. That really changed my situation for the worse. Another tree was planted as a replacement, but it's still not tall enough to help. Maybe in a couple years the tree will be able to help with the sun and privacy.__ Oh well I guess a lot of peeps have to deal with weather problems. And I look forward to the cooler Autumn days. Take care..

Don't worry about me and fire season, I'm not one of those idjits that built a place out in the brush There is a mile of farmed land in every direction but one and even that side has a 1/4-mile wide pistachio orchard. I've spent a lifetime observing the environment (not like these nature-fakers that have spent their lives in the city) and I chose this place for several merits including safety from wildfires and flooding, and resistance to earthquakes. I saw a great bumpersticker the other day - "Log it, graze it, or watch it burn."

Hi BubbaSan.. I hope you're doing well in this heat we've had this last week or so. My sister is in Texas near Dallas, and she has been getting temps every day at 100 degrees or more and up to 109. But at least she doesn't have the humidity. I'm in Wisconsin and have had temps at around 90 degrees for the last 6 days, but we also have higher humidity too. What helps are a couple of small fans I have: one close the the chair I watch TV from, and the second one close to the computer. They really help to get some relief from the warm and humid conditions. I also have an overhead fan in the dining room that helps circulate the air. I do have an air conditioner, but try not to use it, because it's not all that effective and it's too loud. At least the heat spell for where I live should go through Monday, and then moderate. I hope that you are finding ways to deal with the heat too. Take care.

One of the greatest losses here was Sylviag. I think that when she died is when I really drifted away. Ah, Betsy and Poohdence...Betsy drifted off even before I did and I sorely missed her. A few years back, my employer moved to Wyoming. A firearm manufacturer is a pariah in California, so it was a natural move. I considered going with them but I couldn't make the economics of it work out. Since then I have considered retiring there, but I would be a thousand miles from everything (and everyone) that I know. Were I younger, or healthier, I might still consider it, but...

Not that many friends nearby...oddly, at 60, I have outlived most of them. That being said, one of my Native Sons brothers drove down here this morning to pic me up and take me to Monterey for an event. Two hours one way. The pain was excruciating, but, in the greater scheme, short lived. The long term effects are what's dragging me down. Keep lol'ing, it's good for the soul.

Hi Bubba. I haven't been on here much for the last 8 years or so either. I checked in a few years back and it just didn't seem the same somehow. I hope you are doing well and life is being kind. A lot has happened in the last few years, little of it good, but I'm still alive.

Hi, BubbaSan.. I saw yur message to MrMutt about a LOL title that was changed by ICHC. They will tend to do that for a LOL they select for inclusion on the LOLcats FP or some other FP. To avoid that, when I make a LOL I save it to:FAIL Blog rather than to I can has cheezburger? OR LOLcats. I also make sure to NOT check the box for: "Include my LOL in voting to be featured on the homepage." This gives you a very good chance that your Title will not be changed, but then you also won't have your LOL placed on the FP. Several years ago I started saving ALL my LOLs for KKPS in this way to avoid the ICHC staff from changing the titles, which are always important for KKPS LOLs. I hope that helps if there's a LOL that you don't want to have the title changed. Also, if I do allow ICHC to change a title and they make a really bad choice in doing so, I will re-do that LOL and save it to FAIL Blog, and delete the original LOL.
