Anybody Up...
My air condition broke... If I was alone I'd go to a friend's home but I have my mom with me who is eighty nine years old... We're in Orlando, Florida and it's hot, even at night...

1. I am awake
since it is after 9am here already.

A/C broke? Ugh ..... I feel with you. I live in Germany, we have temps in the 90s (which you will probably laugh about) and in Germany A/C is commonly unknown in apartments.

4. What did they say?
We'll be there within half an hour? It sucks to be waiting for service guys to show up .... Hope they show up soon. Do you have any fans you can in between?

10. yes...well...it's better than those Bavarian Winters I suffered through
during two REFORGER deployments (1974-75). You were just a sparkle in your dad's eye at that point, I bet.

:D

17. Well, MissHoneyChurch...
it was *115 when I drove through Redding (Northern California) last weekend...air conditioning is a must up there...and yet they get very harsh winters also.

21. Temps normally not get over 100 here
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 03:09 AM by MissHoneychurch
fortunately. And I am happy that we have warm temps now. Till last Thursday the temps were in the lower 60s and it was rainy. No summer weather. I prefer the heat any day.
Makes it possible to wear my nice summer clothes. :D

3. Hot nights are no fun...especially if you have no breeze.

7. Yes...harsh weather is hard on older folk...
what have you been able to do for her? My mom used to rub me with witchhazel (I think) 'cause the evaporation cools you down.
