Where are you fools at?
Refalm:
It was 37 degrees last week, and I felt no need to use or buy an A/C.
Closing curtains during the day and opening windows and doors help a lot.

My sister just bought a house in Hawaii. It has no heater or AC, but it is architecturally designed to enforce maximum breezage through the house.
Can't do that here, though. Mosquitos. Plus all your stuff would be ruined by the humidity.
pofnlice:
lol...have you ever put screens up? they don't seem to favor windows with screens here in England, so if you want to cool your house by opening windows, then you get used to the bugs...:((
In TEXAS, My AC comes on at 68 and doesn't shutoff until late december...and my windows had screens...
worker201:
As far as I know, nobody has screens in Texas either. My parents' house doesn't even seem to have openable windows. Back in Colorado we had screens on every window and door, and no AC. Never seemed all that hot, except for maybe a couple deadly weeks in late August. My roommate and I actually tried to build an air conditioner using a trash can, a couple pieces of garden hose, and an oil cooler from a Volkswagen bug. Didn't work, but it kept us occupied until it was time to go drink.
piratePenguin:
I leave my window open almost every morning and close it when it's getting dark 'cause that's when the flies get in.
