When you live in the southern part of the country appreciate the people I was with and I do, you learn how to deal with the heat! Sometimes in the summertime, the hot and cold temperatures outside can really be unbearable, but the people I was with and I have been through a lot of heat waves when the temperature gets well above a hundred degrees! So when you’re dealing with heat appreciate that, there are a couple of things that you learn pretty hastily that you can’t live without, then as a southerner, I can tell you that those numerous things are sweet iced root beer and air conditioner! As long as I can remember, the people I was with and I never once opened the windows in our house. They might as well be painted shut because in the south when the Winter time goes away, the summer time arrives almost immediately. And in the summer, you need the air conditioner! There are really no in between hot and cold temperatures down here. Sometimes our cooling bill in the summer time soars to astronomical heights, especially when we’re in the middle of a heat wave, despite the fact that I don’t even care… I will scrimp and save and pull from all of our other budgeted money just to make sure that the people I was with and I have all of the air conditioner that the people I was with and I need. In my opinion, there’s nothing else as important as air conditioning in the summertime down here. So yup, maybe sometimes I go a little overboard turning the thermostat down but for me, it’s totally worth it. I’m just cheerful that the people I was with and I have a newer high efficiency air conditioning component in our house, but otherwise, the cooling costs in the summer time would be enough to cut the bank.
