I said something about this at work and they thought I was a FREAK! What if they find out I hang my laundry out on the line? YIKES! Sometimes I have to clean our bedroom a lot (a.k.a. an excuse to be in the AC) when it is this hot! <br />xo, CherylWhosyergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796459473501881680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-45434557658181203872011-07-19T11:27:42.252-05:002011-07-19T11:27:42.252-05:00I have never heard of a swamp cooler.

It is a huge unit that sits atop our roof. Most summers here in the high desert it works beautifully, but this summer we have received an inordinate amount of rain (thought we were living in a desert) and swamps and humidity don't go together very well. Thanks for the tips on keeping cool -- I would love to dress in madras ;).

I assure it works great.<br />Take a bath towel and get it all wet, wring it out. <br />Grit your teeth and try not to scream and cover yourself with the wet towel in bed. It will only make you want to scream for a second or two then it will feel great. <br />This will cool you down as good as an air conditioned room and you will sleep well.Lori Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775116608698555225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-37107817753499539282011-07-19T06:38:19.741-05:002011-07-19T06:38:19.741-05:00The heat this summer is really something!

Sometimes I'd take in a movie during the day and then I'd go into work early just to sit in the coolness. Now I'm constantly turning my pillow to the "cool" side during the night.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-64195785588413958452011-07-19T06:37:44.105-05:002011-07-19T06:37:44.105-05:00I remember those spitbaths well!
