Thanks for the websites, Kay! I looked at them and there's some good stuff. I think I'm going to order one of those personal air conditioners. And stock up on batteries, too! I always forget about those and then never have them (or the right size) when I need them.

I think I'll start buying a pack each time I go to the store - that way it won't be such a hit all at once.

I feel like such a spoiled wimp worrying about the A/C going out but the heat just affects me so horribly that I'd probably have to go to a motel or something until it came back on.
