I bet ice in a mesh bag hanging in front of the fan works even better. more surface area = more cool.

My wife keeps wanting to open the curtains...drives me nuts. Also, they sell window fans with different directions on each fan. You can stay cooler if you set the bottom to in and the top to out, rather than both in. Long term over the short term every time.

Gah!!! Did you tell her that it was her turn? ;) On Saturday, it will have been 5 weeks since I mowed our yard and it still does not need it.

I like the ice in the bowl, Bel. Interesting idea.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice-mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
