I landed on my second-favorite slot.
Today's Question(s): Did your home(s) have air conditioning when you were growing up? In a couple of places where my family and I lived, but they were window units.
If not, how did you survive? The fans come out.
Do you have air conditioning now and, if so, what temperature do you like to set it on? I don't have A/C where I live now. Most of the year, it doesn't get extremely hot.
How else do you keep cool:
-Open a window? <--This
-Use a fan? <--This
-Awnings on your house, its windows or over a deck or patio? <--My house faces west and the front windows get the afternoon sun full blast, so those windows have awnings, which REALLY help.
-Other? Cold beverages and ice cream.
Bonus: Something breakable: Ceramic dishes
Something lucky: Number 7
Something that made you dizzy: Merry-Go-Round at the fair
Foodie Q: Last food or drink you mixed or blended? Hot cocoa with marshmallows
Just for fun: If you ever called in sick when you weren't, what's something you did instead? Went on an important "mission."
Today's Question(s): Did your home(s) have air conditioning when you were growing up? We had one window unit in the living room
If not, how did you survive? On very hot nights we would all sleep in the living room
Do you have air conditioning now and, if so, what temperature do you like to set it on? Yes, around 72 during the day, 70 at night
How else do you keep cool:
-Open a window?
-Use a fan?
-Awnings on your house, its windows or over a deck or patio?
-Other?
Bonus: Something breakable: my heart
Something lucky: a penny found on the ground
Something that made you dizzy:
Foodie Q: Last food or drink you mixed or blended? my cappuccino this morning--mixed my steamed milk with the expresso
Just for fun: If you ever called in sick when you weren't, what's something you did instead? Have never done that--would be too risky in my job. Just best to schedule a day off when I need to do something

Just for fun:
If you ever called in sick when you weren't, what's something you did instead? - I can only remember once when I took a mental stress day right before I was laid off from a government contract I was on. That was 20 years ago and I did nothing special.
Today's Question(s): Did your home(s) have air conditioning when you were growing up? Didn't
If not, how did you survive? We don't have many days that are that uncomfortably warm. We'd pull the shades. I don't remember even having fans. From the time I was eleven or twelve we had a pool.
Do you have air conditioning now and, if so, what temperature do you like to set it on? Don't have air now either. I do have a basement, mostly finished. So, if needed, I can go downstairs. Usually though, I go to our family's pool or to the lake.
How else do you keep cool:
-Open a window?
-Use a fan?
-Awnings on your house, its windows or over a deck or patio? Oh, yes. Our farmhouse used to have awnings.
-Other?
Bonus: Something breakable: Heart..... Oh, a lot of people said hearts, so I'll say the law.
Something lucky: Four leaf clover
Something that made you dizzy: Vertigo
Foodie Q: Last food or drink you mixed or blended? Chai
Just for fun: If you ever called in sick when you weren't, what's something you did instead? Sometimes have a "mental health" day. I don't do it often since it's more work to take a day off. I need to write sub plans and then spend a couple days getting the kids back on track as.... Well, remember having a substitute teacher? No need to say more.
So, something I did instead.... Spent the day outdoors.
