Thanks for the link. I may need to get some of those. I told hubby that was the one thing I would miss the most - air conditioning.

Last summer though it was fine in the basement with just a regular fan - I hung a wet towel around my neck and used a wash rag every so often on my face and arms, which is what Granny always did when I was a kid and there was no air conditioner.

We had the air on upstairs, but we keep it on 80 degrees, otherwise the compressor freezes up.

Course I don’t cook anything to speak of during the hottest weather. Cereal and Bananas for breakfast, maybe the occasional egg in the Micro wave.

Cott. Cheese fruits and veggies for lunch. Cold cuts or cheese sandwich for supper, or maybe a BLT, with bacon cooked in Microwave.

If I cook anything else, it is at night when it’s cooler, and something that can be eaten cold. Like birthday cake.LOL.

I can think of nothing $7.20 could buy that would be more important than the misting fans. Maybe spending $7.20 for dry beans would be more important but if I’m expiring from heat, I’d be too hot to cook and eat them.
