tip: if your dear ones complain about energy prices (valid) and the cost of running ac, point out that it costs less money and energy to just keep the system running than it does to start and stop it every time you wanna cool off
ENDURING HEAT IS NOT A MORAL VIRTUE FFS. IT WILL KILL YOU DEAD.

Your annual reminder that elderly people are the most vulnerable demographic to death and severe injury during heat waves - and many of them, especially those raised in cooler times, struggle or outright refuse to believe heat can kill them.
Keep close tabs on them on hot days.
I was going to make a joke about this but then I actually read it and the answer is literally "your partner not respecting you" and now I'm depressed
My dad lives in a Cape Cod with baseboard hot water heat. He (and my late mom) refused to consider switching to forced air and have now paid twice for new boilers (plus maintenance) instead of converting. He's convinced they don't need it.
None of our elder relatives come use our AC.

YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. DOES YOUR BODY NEED STRETCHING?

Ok writer pals, looking for a particular craft book. I found it in a used bookstore in LA once upon a time and to my regret didn’t buy it.
It used an example of a character with a lot of stuffed toys on their bed (to show greed/need for comfort).
Does anyone know what this is?
