conditioning

[tp]

it's hot today, but i'm resisting giving in to the a/c. i'm trying to use it less in order to a) save some money, and b) see how miserable we would actually be if we lived in a place without it. the latter reason is just stupid, because three summers ago we did live without it and we felt ill and crabby the entire time. of course it didn't help

i like a/c. a lot.
we don't use ours though. we don't have central air. we have one big one that can cool the downstairs, and a fan upstairs, and i have an a/c in my room, because of my allergies, but i've only used it one night so far..
i think having it where you live is a BIG plus though, but you can always get a small energy saving one for your bedroom if you move, so at least you can sleep in the cool. mine has a nifty timer, so if i go out to a show or something, i can set it to go on an hour before i'm thinking of being home, and then my room will be cool when i get there.

Hmmm. . .

I grew up without A/C--central or window units--and as such, I always thought I would crave it. However, I hardly _ever_ use my A/C unit (no central air here.) I generally only use it when it's still hot out and I'm inside. If there's a breeze at all or if the temperature roughly equalizes, I switch off the A/C and open all the windows, and crank the fans
