creative ways to keep cool?
 

okay the situation: no ac, can't eat ice cream, already had a cool bath, all the cinemas are sold out, trying to drink as much cool liquid as possible...we are still so hot we are just sitting here sweltering..any creative solutions to staying cool?

Hang by the meat at the local safeway :glugglug

Jello wrestling?

what i do i soak a wash cloth in cold water and put it around my neck:thumbsup

My favorite thing is to get some SeaBreeze (witch hazel or any other facial astringent will do) and soak some of those cotton make-up pads with it, and then put it all in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Between the coolness of the SeaBreeze and the cold from being in the freezer, it's heaven on a hot day. Run the pad all over your face and neck and upper chest...brrr!

You can also dampen a rag and sort of hang it in front of the fan -- the air blowing through the rag will be cooler than normal.

Get a spray bottle of water, keep in the fridge, set the spray thingie on it to mist, and then spray yourself with it. Bonus points for spraying it into the fan and then letting the cool mist blow back at you.

I know all of this because I lived in Texas for years and years without a/c, so I've been where you are. Good luck staying cool!

I was really high one night and no ac.. so i took a cooler and filled it with ice then sat the fan in front of it..hoping the fan would blow cool air on me.... fell asleep, so i dont know if it actually worked..but it was creative :1orglaugh

you know, if I can find any stores with ice I might just try that. If it doesn't work I can always pour the melted ice over myself.
