@Alorrena: lol its like pick one. Also if you’re “freezing” put a $&@“ing sweater on >.>
Window units can definitely be helpful, we had to get one when we didn’t have working central air.
Also I appreciate your mom looking out for her cats like that, even more so that it makes her room a sauna but she does it anyway. Cats > myself xD
Omg right???? Everyone keeps telling her that too but nope. She loves to be difficult too tho. Idk. Her mother was the same way. Mean her whole life and towards the end didn’t want to walk and sat on her butt watching tv all day. Guess what my grandma does. 🙄 which is super ironic because my uncle said that when her mom was like that? She couldn’t understand how or why anyone would live like that, “BECAUSE THATS NO WAY TO LIVE” excuse me?!!! She makes zero sense I can’t even.
That being said she also does have some dementia starting so that probably doesn’t help. So we also have the paranoia to deal with. Like, she couldn’t drive anymore right? And she let her license lapse before she moved so she had to reapply when she got here instead of just getting a new card (all because she was too cheap to “pay fo it twice”) but really thats a blessing in disguise because can you imagine her on the road? -shudders- anyway, so she couldn’t drive and refused to even take tests to see where she was at. Obviously they didn’t give her a license. So then her truck sat in the parking lot and finally she was like “okay just sell it” and that took a while it wasn’t instant. So finally agreed on someone and it was all nice and legal and everything. Now? Shes saying we stole her truck from her, we sold it right out from under her, blah blah blah. 🤦🏼♀️ If she had been a nice person before I’d just chalk this up to the illness and age but when she’s always been a raging pain in the ass its so hard to tell what’s up. Cuz she is capable when she wants to be.
Edit: sorry this turned into so much of a vent sesh, that wasn’t my intention but it got there xD

@Alorrena: omg what? xD that’s even worse then xD
Nah I totally understand, it can really run up a bill pretty quick. We usually try to cool it off at night when its cooler outside and then its easier to maintain the cool throughout the day (keeping everything shut, we have bad seals too so I also understand that lol)
Haha yep that’s the one. She just refuses to do anything and refuses to even try to walk (and she could if she wanted to. She’s not wheelchair bound but she wants to be because she’s lazy and knows people will just do it for her 🙄)

@Alorrena: omg what is it with old people and making it a sauna Dx that is WAY too hot for inside the house. Anything over 75 is too much and 70 is as high as I want it lol
I feel your pain tho my grandma’s apartment is BOILING and she’s a mean old goat.
She doesn’t take care of her house at all so we have to go over and so all the cooking and cleaning and we’re just pouring sweat after. Although now we just turn it on (not too low but enough to have some air flow) and tell her to suck it up lol like if you want food sit down and stfu xD

@PashminaPanda: omg that sounds amazing! I definitely see why you would want to go. Hell I’d love to go too xD
It’d be awesome to have a property like that.
Why is she selling? Is it getting to be too much to take care of?

@PashminaPanda: glad I’m not alone! Weekends suck for me but I understand why the majority of people like them lol
Oh that sounds fun! I went to a reunion once, but my family are awful people so it was a bust 😂 never went back lol
I hope yours is more fun and better company xD
@Alorrena: I’m alright, tryna stay cool lol how are you? :3
@Totalanimefan: idk according to the announcement it said the forums would close the 19th so I’m just assuming today is the last day lol
you can clean it? xD
The guy cleaned the outside system out but we haven’t done anything with the ducts. Deep cleaning our house is on the top of our to do list lol

@KDA Drew: its not a really talked about aspect because in my experience only type 1’s are affected like that, not so much type 2’s. That being said, anyone could get too overheated and feel off so xD
Also if your adrenals don’t work well that makes it worse because they regulate your body temp. (Spoiler, mine don’t work well lol) I have an arsenal of different sized gel ice packs that I always keep in the freezer, then a thin dish towel to wrap them in so that its not directly on me but can still feel the coolness that I will put on my forehead or the top of my head or the back of my neck. Back of the neck really helps cool your whole body down so I definitely suggest trying that and seeing if it helps. You could also get a ziploc of ice if you have ice or a bag of frozen peas or something lol
Oh! And if you’re feeling anxious you can put ice in the middle of your chest to help calm down your vagus nerve (the main nerve that controls things like heart rate). Idk if it works for everyone but it has helped me in the past.

@PashminaPanda: oh thanks! :D
Not anything major, my mom is working (from home) but in between that we’re packing to go away on a trip with my grandma to the mountains for a few days. (I can’t handle crowds so we usually do things during the week when people work lol) if all goes well we’ll get a few days to just chill in a cabin and watch some movies and play some games and stuff so should be fun :) I’m looking forward to it.
How about you?

@icedchai: I feel like I lost track of the time because being on staff I've been seeing these items for weeks already and I just got distracted xD but yeah they're super cute and I forgot to get my butt on and actually get them xD whoops lol How are you doing have you been able to get them yet?
@Kent: For real it's the worst D; a few years ago the AC didn't work AT ALL and of course all summer it had to be at or near 100% humidity with like no breeze at all. It was literally too hot to even lay on the couch and scroll thru memes on my phone. Scrolling was too much exertion. And I felt sick the whole time because my sugar was so spiked no matter what I did. (I'm type 1 diabetic and heat makes my sugar high, it's a real pain in the butt)
So yeah, I'm glad to have the AC back haha
Aww cute! :3 I'm sure he likes that he can still get some outside time. I feel bad but I like to keep my cats indoors so they're safer. People drive way too fast and we have snakes and stuff out back and other wildlife and you just never know what people might do too. Although it's hard to do when the cat is used to being outside lol Although if you cat was mostly outdoor before I'm sure he's got more street smarts than mine would xD
@Miss Sandman: I'm glad I'm not the only one but also I'm sorry you're in the same predicament as me xD Also thank you so much! I'm a big fan of your avis, it means a lot :3 speaking of which your current is so cool!
@KDA Drew: Maybe someone will have an extra you can buy?

[color=DODGERBLUE]@Ruby: I was away before cooking and studying.
I am, but I'm staying inside on the really hot days (Like today) it hot 99 here today! But I have AC and it works.
Good that you got your AC fixed yesterday. What do you like to keep it at?

whoops sorry I got busy doing stuff and forgot to check back lol might not make that bundle after all @.@
Oof yeah it was almost 100 here the other day too.
Ideally I like the temp to be 68. If I had my way it would be between 65-70 every single day with low to no humidity xD (I grew up near portland oregon so that's pretty much how life was before these heat waves)
unfortunately even with the AC being recharged we still can't set it to what we want, so we cool it off at night and then just have to maintain it during the day by letting it rest. It's an old system (older than me) and it's just not strong enough to handle summer weather. But it's a hell of a lot nicer in here than it was last week so I'm grateful to have any AC lol [/color]

@Kent: I know the feeling. Summer is the worst season for me. Heat makes my blood sugar high so I try to just stay in. We just got our AC recharged yesterday so I’m finally able to stay cool.
Is your cat indoor/outdoor or does it have a leash? My other cats were indoor but had leashes lol
