Waiting For The Air Condition Company - Getting a Good Night's Sleep
Waiting for the air condition company to come out and fix your unit can be a drag. A/C has a magical tendency to go on the fritz exactly when you need it most, which means you've probably consigned yourself to not getting much sleep in the meantime. Perhaps you've thought about taking yourself and your family to a hotel, but that's terribly inconvenient and many people can't afford a hotel room fee when they already have the cost of the repairs looming over them. The only choice, for many, is to simply make the best of it. Here are some ways you can do just that.
First of all, fans are your best friend when it comes to waiting for the air condition company to make its way out to you. The more you have, the better your chances of getting a full night's rest. Double, and even triple up on them if you have enough to go around. Some stores even sell misting fans, although these are typically expensive and may not be practical for use inside the home. Still, they may serve you well out in the garage or on the back porch, where you can go for a respite from the heat.
Open your windows, if it is practical. Obviously, if you don't have screens up, this won't be a good idea. If you do, however, and you can get a cross-breeze going, you may find that you don't even miss your A/C. Of course, if you're the type that likes to close out the outside world this won't make a good solution.
Most people don't enjoy cold showers, but this is a great opportunity to take one. Take one right before bed and let yourself air dry. It might make sense to put down some towels so that you don't soak the bed with either the water from your shower or the sweat that comes with a night without A/C.
Remember to keep yourself hydrated, but not to the point where you'll need to get up multiple times during the night. Keep a cold glass of ice water by the bed. You can use this not only for drinking, but the cool condensation on the glass will feel nice against your hot skin.
Though it can be difficult to believe, try to remember that people lived without A/C for thousands of years and, in fact, people still do it today-many of them in warmer climates than you can imagine. While it's never pleasant waiting for the air condition company to come do its thing, at least you'll be able to appreciate what you have when that blessed sound of ventilated air comes rushing back through your home.

I bet you going to laugh at my joke?
A customer was continually bothering the waiter in a restaurant; first, he'd asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down because he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour.
Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, walking back and forth and never once getting angry. So finally, a second customer asked why didn't they just throw out the pest.
"Oh I don't care." said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner."

Anyone ever go to a rock concert at the Detroit Masonic?
I've never been there but it's going to be in the smaller venue (1500) so I'm wondering - will it get really hot or just normal because of air conditioning.
Also, we will have to stay in a hotel downtown. My husband wants to take a taxi but I'm wondering how we will get back to the hotel so late at night. I have a feeling it will be hard to have a taxi come get us afterwards not to mention having to wait for it in an area we're unfamiliar with. Better to drive or is it easy to get a taxi in Detroit? Also, if we do drive and park at the Masonic, how early do you suggest we get there to make sure we get a parking spot?
Thanks!

What should I pack for summer camp?
Hi, it's my favorite time of year: Summer. I'm going to camp, and it's for a whole week for the first time for me! I have no idea what to pack, or how much to pack. I thought I should list the activities, because I need to know WHAT to pack and HOW MUCH to pack. So, we sleep (of course) swim, play sports such as soccer, kickball, and dodge ball, we play games where we get REALLY messy, like with food, and we sleep in VERY air conditioned cabins. We sit on the grass and read the bible, shower EVERY night, and we clean. In our spare time we take naps before swimming, and after. We hike all over the place, and this is TEXAS. So please help I must know!!!
