Our new house has central air and it's the first time I've ever lived with it--I feel so spoiled! Every time I go outside is a shock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279871 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:52:15 +0000 PinkBee 279871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only lived without AC for 2 months of my life and it was HORRIBLE!</p> <p>I hate being hot when I sleep, I hate cooking when I'm hot - I lose my appetite entirely, and I hate being hot and sticky all the time!</p> <p>Sheeesh, this post is making me wonder how I am going to survive when I move from Canada to Georgia in 4 months :-S Well, at least I will have AC :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279841 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:18:24 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 279841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have it, and our house is brutal hot in the summer. We go outside. </p> <p>Luckily is was a fairly cool summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279770 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:37:54 +0000 banana 279770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I COULD live without it if I HAD to. But do I want to? Helllllz no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279503 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:26:53 +0000 jedeve 279503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had it in four years. I wish I did now because Montana is on fire so my eyes and nose are all itchy and I wish I could shut the windows. But I don't see us getting it unless we moved somewhere with it. I hope the heat breaks soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279050 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 08:15:53 +0000 tequiero21 279050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on where I live! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-279047 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 08:09:37 +0000 Cole 279047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be really unhappy without AC, I hate being hot, especially at night but the bigger issue is allergies. Both my husband and I have awful seasonal allergies and leaving the windows open really exacerbates it so AC goes a long way towards refreshing the air and keeping humidity at bay even if we keep the temp relatively high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-278957 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 01:56:45 +0000 loveisstrange 278957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Houses here in the UK just don't have A/C. There were about 4 days where we even remotely needed it. Most of the time, open windows and a good cross-breeze work just fine.</p> <p>The house I grew up in didnt have A/C either. My parents would drag the window units out for the worst 3-4 weeks of the summer and then pack them up again because we couldn't afford to run them all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-278946 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 00:54:06 +0000 erinpye 278946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have it, but we live in Washington state and it never gets that hot here. Even on the few days per year it gets into the 90s, our house stays under 80 degrees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-278552 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:33:07 +0000 Springtime 278552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I live in southern Oklahoma where it gets up to 110! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-277504 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:15:19 +0000 lemondrop 277504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nooooooo- the last week has been between 105-110 here in Phx, plus I am a ginger so I do not tolerate heat. at. all. </p> <p>We lived without it in Colorado for 2 years, not fun during the hottest months, but I survived by living only in the bedroom with a window unit.</p> <p>It is on my list of must have's for any future house we purchase- anywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-277498 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:07:51 +0000 googly-eyes 277498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess if I had to, I would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-276557 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:53:08 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 276557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It only ever gets warm for about a week here. But I cannot survive without central heating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-276547 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:44:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 276547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I don't think I could stand the heat and humidity that Nebraska weather gives us, especially this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-276473 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:45:57 +0000 DigAPony 276473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Oregon and don't have air conditioning, but I only miss it a few days out of the year. In Arizona where I grew up, though, if you don't have air conditioning you lose all hope and long for death! I may be exaggerating, but it's bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-276436 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:18:04 +0000 bienlivingdesign 276436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-276426 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:13:43 +0000 sulli301 276426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could live without it, but I wouldn't want to! I love HOT weather but I like being able to escape to my AC'd house or car :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275927 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:27:12 +0000 ladyfingers 275927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. We live in Florida and I'm such a baby about the heat. It was so appalling to me to learn that in certain parts of the country there is no central AC lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275886 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:04:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 275886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: I live in the Houston, TX area. It's pretty brutal starting in April and going through October. This year has actually been pretty mild and we're already down to the mid-90's - Yay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275613 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:34:10 +0000 MegWag 275613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have A/C (most people in England don't) and there are usually only a couple of days a year that it would be nice. All my friends and family back in Texas can't even conceive of not having A/C! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275609 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:15:33 +0000 looch 275609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in the mountains, there is no humidity, so AC isn't necessary. Back home, though, it's a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275594 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:51:47 +0000 Rosie Girl 275594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have a/c! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning/page/2#post-275431 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:18:57 +0000 BSB 275431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here in Seattle, we don't need AC. There have been heat waves where I wish we did but luckily they don't happen that often.</p> <p>If I was on the east coast, AC is a must!</p> <p>Growing up on the east coast my parents didn't have AC. The house wasn't insulated properly so during early summer months our house would be cool. But once the heat penetrated our house during late summer, it was like a sauna in our house. Well, I lied. I forgot. We did have window units. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning#post-275397 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:52:46 +0000 MsMini 275397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have AC growing up, but I have for all of my adult life. We just took a trip and the vacation house we (as a group) rented didn't have AC, I survived but Sawyer was MISERABLE and wouldn't sleep. Considering how he acted during our trip, I would die if something happened to our AC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning#post-275373 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:33:01 +0000 anonysquire 275373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Awesome, you guys sound like a fun couple!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning#post-275371 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:32:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 275371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I used to be a snowboard instructor and Mr is a tele-skier.

I visited there once in Janurary, it was so much colder than here and there was no snow, I was shocked! I'm just not a winter sports kind of girl. Do you guys ski or anything? I go snow shoeing a lot but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-air-conditioning#post-275365 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:27:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 275365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: not my first year here, but record heat this year. Remember I came from Seattle, so I'm melting! I much prefer the winters here! The snow is why we moved here! </p>
