My wife is the exact opposite. She is going through the change and you could hang meat in our house and she still says its hot

My wife isn't quite there yet but she's probably getting close and always hot. She'd keep it on 67 with the fan on high at night if everyone else wasn't cold. She's nowhere close to being fat.

I'm 100% comfortable at 78 but we keep the humidity levels at 40% or below. We do keep the bedroom at 74 any warmer and I don't sleep as soundly.

Now if we are having a party or just a few guests over I always move it down to 72 the night before. Especially this time of year if there is a lot of cooking going on, the doors are getting opened a lot and 20 or so people inside it is easy to outrun the cooling capacity of the units.

74 throughout day
70 at night

Are dehumidifiers any cheaper to run than AC?

Then you don’t have traditional equipment, or you don’t live in the deep South.

You won’t get 40% humidity in La. without special equipment.

I knew 3 of them, one grew up without AC until he was 50, just preferred it that way.

2nd ended up marrying a Chinese massage parlor gal because she kept giving him "free ones" Had problems ever since.

3rd committed suicide and likely a 45 year old virgin when he expired, anti guns but ate a bullet

If you do this anywhere in the Deep South, you're asking for death, and you're spitting on the grave of our forefathers who toiled in the heat to provide us with an A/C'd future.

whenever I visit that AC is off or on 76. Dad gets pissed when I touch it too. They also only buy 1 ply toilet paper.

Are we brothers?! What the frick is it with the 1 ply toilet paper? I'm just going to use 3 times as much as if they'd get the 3 ply.
