    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    It depends a lot on humidity, but if you have a drier climate, you can also use what we call a “swamp cooler” to keep the house cooler. It does not have a regular AC unit, just more like a fan that blows through cool water and cools down the air. It is no good in places with a lot of humidity...

    Summertime Life and Keeping Cool…..

    Europe has been having their heat wave and now it has arrived here in Alabama where Bobby and I live. Bobby has the swimming pool all ready to use and he has actually been in it a couple of times already, but the water was still pretty cold. With the 90+ temperatures, we will definitely be in...

    Amazon Prime Deals

    I looked at the Prime deals, but only ended up getting some protein drinks that were on sale. We use protein drinks all the time, and I often put them in the Ninja Creami ice cream that I make, so it is something I know will get used. I am still looking at the nut milk machines, but the best...

    The thread topics make a lot of difference for SEO, too. If the threads are about topics that people are searching for information about online, then the forum threads will come up in the search results. For example, a lot of people have diabetes and search for information online. If there were...

    Last thing you threw/binned away?

    I went through the bedding, sheets and blankets, and bagged up the ones we do not use anymore. Our bed is queen sized, but the mattress is a deep one and it is getting harder all the time for me to put those fitted bottom sheets on the bed. Bobby usually has to help me pull them down over the...

    Amazon Prime Deals

    I have been looking and Amazon sends me emails every day with specials they are having. The thing is, we already have just about everything we actually need, so it would just be buying something different, not filling an actual need, at this point. Nevertheless , I am still looking. New coffee...

    Some of the thread titles encourage quick answers, rather than long discussions. If you encourage trivia threads, you will just get trivia answers. If you have more discussion threads, then people who want to have actual discussions will want to be on the forum. So, it depends on which kind of...

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    Do you put the bag of ice cubes or something frozen behind the fan to cool the air down ? Bobby used to put a cold wet towel begind our window fan when we were in Idaho and did not have air conditioning and it helped a lot.

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    I remember my daughter saying that where she works, they have no air conditioning in the building either. She said that the Dutch just send people home when the weather is too hot for people to work inside of the buildings. Of course, she probably has no air conditioning at her home either...

    Home Made Ice Cream

    The weather is supposed to be hot here by next week, so I will probably be making ice cream more often. We really enjoy having it in the summer. I have been reading that several companies are not even calling their product ice cream anymore, because of the additives they put into it, and not...

    Last search you made?

    I looked up the difference between pole beans and runner beans. I had planted some in the driveway archway, and we have been having green beans from those, and it was time to replant them. It turns out that they are a different type of bean, and runner beans can overwinter n some climates if it...

    Heatwave latest: Chance UK heat record could be broken

    My daughter lives in the Netherlands (for her job) and I have noticed that the temperatures on her weather forecast had heat warnings. It looks like it will be even hotter there next week, too. Do you have air conditioning to help keep cool, @Smithy , or what do you do when the weather is this...

    What's your Weather like today

    We are having the longest day of the year today, and it still does not even feel much like a normal summer here in north Alabama. We have had mostly cool days and lots of rain this year, and just a few hot days interspersed with the rain. It is close to July, and we have not been spending time...
