Yes. Easy for me to say, living in the San Francisco Bay Area in a house made of glass. Back when I lived in Texas, not so much. That place only exists because of AC. Before that they had to give the land away for free to get anyone to live there.

Yeah...in July I found out I was pregnant, and then our AC broke. Let's just say it was hell, and I nearly bowed down and worshiped those repairmen who fixed my wall unit.

I'm also from Texas, where air conditioning is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

We live in an old, uninsulated house, with no central climate control, and while it kinda sucks, it makes me feel hearty. Preach on Sista'!

Kids should not have to wear footie PJ's in July because grandpa can't handle the heat. Our bodies always get surprised going to and coming back from the US.

I like the idea of this - living with the seasons - mostly because it would benefit me financially.

No, shivering children in the basement, we're not freezing because mama's stingy with the heat, we're LIVING WITH THE SEASONS. Getting in tune with nature.

I LIKE IT.

(nice writing here, btw)

I could do the no AC thing in the summer, but I worry that my sweet husband would literally divorce me. He gets ragey if the house temperature gets up to 78.

I felt enough seasons growing up. Cold, colder, and then hot.

I do have a testimony of dressing appropriately and keeping it moderate. We didn't turn the AC on until mid July and the heat until a few weeks ago. Even then we keep it at 70 because mama can't pay the bills otherwise.

Although in my car, all bets are off. I didn't drive a car with working AC until 3 years ago and you better believe that crap is blasting.

I couldn't agree with you more. If I was a streaker, I'd streak in late January.

I rarely turn on the heater or the air conditioner because of the EXPENSE! My rule of thumb is that if I'm too hot to function, or too cold, on it goes. But I turn it off as soon as possible.

You Texas people. *shakes fist* You live in Hades.

I live in a lovely micro climate that is 5-10 degrees cooler than the rest of the city in the summer, and 5-10 degrees warmer in the winter. Thanks, river!

I'm going to pat you on the head condescendingly as I turn on our A/C. With 90 days over 100º this summer, we spent all day pretending we were cool.

No. I refuse.

I grew up in one of the coldest, snowiest parts of Norway, and would always sleep with my window open a crack all year round. This is the same part of the world where people also bundle their babies up in the middle of winter and let them nap outside, under blankets. The general idea is that fresh air is good for you :)

I always notice people that doesn't dress for the seasons. Like people not wearing a coat when it is snowing outside. Idiots. Plus, there is some seriously adorable winter coats and accessories. Why miss out on those?
