Toms River just hit 100° -- just went out to water the plants and am sweating my butt off. 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Don't water your plants in the heat of the day!!!
You are suppose to water in the am before the sun gets up in the sky, but my newly planted daisy were crying out for water. I couldn't turn my back on them. They were wilting!  Even my sweat was sweating.

Even my sweat was sweating. Now THAT'S hot!!! I hadda turn off my a/c. I was having some kind of electrical power issues (the a/c would stop, and then go back on... I noticed one of my power strips, which has a light on it indicating power, was turning "off".) Dunno if it's a brownout (the tv picture didn't shrink and the p.c. wasn't affected) but I'm afraid of an electrical fire, so to be safe I turned the a/c off. The temperature in my bedroom went up at least 20° in the last 30 minutes. I hate summer!

We had one air conditioner and wanted to get through the summer without buying another one. We would spend time in shopping malls and go to a movie. We felt that the movie didn't have to be good because it was worth $5 to sit in a soft chair in an air conditioned theatre for two hours.

After being in the house basically all weekend stepping out today was a real blow. It literally feels like opening your oven door and sticking your head in while it's heated. The breeze we have is just circulating heat. And to make it worse the first bus I catch, which is the longer ride, had no a/c. Uggh! Double Uggh! Halfway through the ride when we got to the stop by the MTA bus depot they had another bus with a/c waiting for us to transfer to. By the time it felt cool it was time to get off. I went to the store and got a bottle water for the wait for the next bus. I have a 10 minute walk home from that ride. I had to stop a few times because I felt like I would keel over.
I actually sent an email to my BGE home website about installing central air. I might have to hanker down and pay to get it. After only 2 days I'm feeling it already. If I want to die that bad I'll just put a gun to my head. It'll be quicker.

Never mind that the walls need painting and the kitchen cabinets are falling apart. That's cosmetic stuff and you can fix that yourself. Central a/c is not only a comfort factor but with your history of respiratory issues it would be a good thing.

I'm also afraid of blowing a fuse. My carpets are in serious need of cleaning but I don't want to run the vacuum with the a/c on. I use that reasoning too. That's why I turn my a/c on in January. Ozzieboy loves his dust bunnies anyway.  We're supposed to be in a heat advisory until 8:00PM tomorrow night. Right now we have a Code Red alert. They should name it Code dead.

I have to admit, I love it when it's hot out. I can't stand the cold, and the older I get, the colder and longer the winters seem. My house has a/c, my car has a/c, and my office has a/c. What more could I want? A frozen cheesecake maybe?

Hot? How about being a soldier in Iraq with all that gear on??  It's 106 there now and the humidity is 9%! Which makes it feel like a cool 100. Here's the forecast for the week. God bless them. [img]http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/IZXX0008.html[/img]
