Huh,..I always thought LGBTQ pride month was October, because when I went to college, that's when all the tables were set up in the union to hand out information and "straight, not narrow" buttons, etc. But it turns out that is national coming out month. I learned something today!! Thank you for that.

There's something wrong with the air conditioning in my office building. The air is not conditioned. It's humid. I come inside to get OUT of the humidity. Everyone that walks into the office asks, "Why is it so humid in here?!". Because the management company is incompetent!!!

I am not pleased.
And yet, generation after generation lived their whole lives without the benefit of any AC at all. I was looking through a book on the history of the city I live in here in NC. It had pictures of women wearing layer after layer of floor length dresses, men in starched collars in an area where it is common to have 100+ degree temperatures and 100% humidity. I am constantly amazed at how they survived and didn't die of heat stroke. That was also long before people hydrated 24/7.

They had to go to the well to get a drink and water supply was always an issue, so they didn't do even close to the enternal drowning we do to ourselves now. They lived to be in their 90 and more. Me? Walking to my car and waiting for the AC to kick in, is like being thrown into a furnace. Me thinks those folks were a lot stronger they we are. And I grew up with no AC at all in our "northern" homes. Not as warm year round as down here, but, 100 degrees is 100 degrees, north or south.
It was also the days of weekly baths (if there was enough water), no deodorent, no shampoo, no conditioner, no electric fans and so on. Apparently love was really love otherwise the human race would have stopped right at that time.

My parents did not have a/c in the house until I reached my late teens. We had a few fans only. Let me tell you that I was absolutely miserable in the hot weather, and it made me actually ill, sometimes. (To this day, I am still that way.)

Everyone reacts differently to either hot or cold weather. There's no one size fits all, so even if the people back in the early 1900s wore a lot of clothing layers in summer, I'll bet you there were some that passed out from heat exhaustion.

That explains your love of the cold!!

I just put central air in my house at the end of last summer. Best decision ever.
