    Default Conservation!

    Damn, it's hot in here. BJ and I are too sad and poor to run the air conditioning when it's hot like this, so instead we just sit in front of fans in our undies. Is that sad?

    Are you too poor to touch the thermostat? When I was home alone at my mom's house I used to crank the thing... my stepdad would get pissed. Now I'm paying for it though so forget that.

    I'm only a teenager living with her parents, so I pretty much bug my parents to death during hot weather until they turn it on. Luckily, New York doesn't have a lot of sweltering days.

    We only have air conditioning in two rooms. Luckily, one of them is mine, as I have bad allergy problems during certain periods of the year. So I always have it roaring when I go to sleep, if it's hot.

    Heh. We don't even HAVE AC, but don't because we're poor. My dad is really, really dumb about these kinds of things, so for him, the fans are enough.

    We have a heater, but even when it's freezing, he doesn't let us use it, and actually shuts the whole system off. None of us know how to use the thing either, so we're stuck.

    *sigh* So dumb.

    In England, everybody has Air Conditioning.

    It's called "wind", crazy concept, get it from opening windows sometimes and letting air in.

    All my utilities are part of the rent. So if I run the AC a lot, I don't pay more. Of course, I don't abuse this in fear of my landlord changing this policy.

    But I set the thermostat at a reasonable level without having to worry about my bills.

    I have a little AC unit set in my window, as my trailer is like a gigantic oven. I try to use it as little as possible, because I cant afford it... and I also feel rather bad for my room mate, alone in her non-air conditioned room.

    Weclome to Southern California, where the wind offers no relief from the heat! Unless you're all wet... I just took a shower, so the fan's feeling pretty good right now. Mm...

    On those rare occasions we have a summer breeze, it's a dry desert breeze 95% of the time.

    I'm very conservative with my car's AC. It gets run while I'm pulling out of the school's parkinglot because 85 degrees makes it a bit stuffy in there. But all the rest of the way home it's windows down with the fan only.

    Oh, and trying to use windows as houyse AC here?

    It would be a friggin' sauna. Most especially in august when it gets to be 105+ outside everyday. With tons of humidity.
