Gotta love it feeling like 100 degrees at NOON.

The worst part about it is the AC. I get hot because the upstairs AC, where my desk is, is set to 74 degrees. So I turn it down to 72 degrees. Then because the vent is directly above me, I get cold. My mom thinks I'm nuts. I tell her she can try living without a thyroid and tell me how she fares.

I asked some who lived in FL how did they survive without AC back in the day. One guy advised me he would drink ice cold lemonade kicking back in his rocking chair on the front porch late into the night with his friends then when tired, then retired for the night using no blankets and just a pillow and bedsheets.

No gigantic fan? XD

You can't move the vent wings to move the air elsewhere but you?

It doesn't matter. The vent right behind my desk chair facing parallel from it. So no matter which way I move it, it always blows out the side towards me

I hate Alexa. It's just a way for my mother to nag me when she's not even home...

Can you make a draft stopper to put over it. Blankets, drop cloth and duck tape

I'd have to be taller to accomplish such a thing. Nah, the jacket that lives on my desk chair will be sufficient.

In some of the bedrooms had box fans but living in the South without AC, the residents just got used to it, nowadays are dependent on AC.

Yeah it's cold in the rest of my house but my room? Hot.

I don't use those. That's what B is for.

Better get there early because the greatness gets crowded really quickly. Told to me by a friend.

When I first moved here to NC in 2011 I have to admit it took me awhile to acclimate to the heat. I remember going to a local car wash and the waiting room had a book about the history of the town I lived in. There were pictures of people at the July 4th celebration(circa 1900's) and I couldn't believe what they were wearing. Men had three piece suits with stiff starched collars and hat. All items were either black or very dark, it's hard to tell with black and white pictures. The women wore long dresses, dark also, to their ankles, with long sleeves and what looked like turtle necks. Black shoes and massive hats that they might have filled with ice for all I know plus gloves. They had umbrellas to, but summer afternoons around here are liable to bring in some heavy rain but until the rain comes I suppose it did supply some shade. I just cannot imagine what the draw was to live here at the time.

I'd have taken a piece of cardboard and some duct tape and directed the air flow to one side by now. Probably not pretty but could be effective.

It's not that hot, it's only 98 right now at 3:30pm here. But that it really normal temps here this time of year. What we need reduced is the humidity.

Cooking sherry One should never cook with wine or spirits not of drinking quality

The Latino guys that replaced my roof wore long sleeve shirts , bandanas , long pants and hats and the temp was 95 degrees. Up in the roof was probably much hotter. I actually copied them when I used to cut my own grass. It actually helped me get much less sunburn for one thing.
