Drinking some cold water, sitting under a ceiling fan, and/or taking a lap around an air-conditioned mall are all great ways to beat the heat in Atlanta!!
My favorite way to cool down is to have dinner on the front lawn or porch at sunset. The sunset is always beautiful and the cool breeze is awesome. Being outside for a while helps to cut down the costs of burning air condition.
great article, I've also sometimes rode my motorbike without any particular destination, just riding around. the feeling of balance that keeps my mind aware and - at the same time - moving (aboard two wheels, of course), and the warmness of tropical atmosphere (yes, I live in Indonesia) are two great remedy for me.
I am looking for an afordable stroller for our son with special needs. He only requires occasional use but he needs good support. He is at 40 pounds right now.
I am part of the lost-art generation, now worried about the trend toward communicating in emoticons.... much like carving messages on a cave man's wall!
After I run in the summer, I'll either jump in the pool (clothes and all), or I'll have a wet washcloth on ice waiting for me (to drape around my neck)...
I understand the purpose of the article, but the investing amounts are off. Depreciation is not a cash expense, so there's no way to invest that savings. Granted, investing $4,000 per year would still give you a nice payoff in 10 years, but nowhere near $100k.
While I agree on the bit regarding underwear, I absolutely disagree with buying sneakers at thrift shops. Sure, buying shoes that you want when you have the money is perfectly fine, but there's no harm in finding a nice pair of sneakers in exceptional, to even new condition. The deal about thrift stores is finding quality items for a reasonable price, and when it comes to shoes, it wouldn't make any sense to buy shoes that are completely dirty, or all worn-out.
Yes, there are sellers that offer free shipping under Amazon Prime guarantee. :)

First way is to stay in our air-conditioned house, second, get out on the nearby lake in my kayak! :)
You calculate so well. Thanks for posting the facts! Hope that next year we can breathe more easily.
I like to go to the local library and hang out - they have computers, magazines, papers besides great books.
I love to sit on my shaded porch and have a cold drink! Sometimes I take a fan out there and I can relax and cool down at the same time.
Swimming, eating lots of ice cream, and on super hot nights, sticking my pillow cases in the freezer!

Take a shower and lay under the ceiling fan.
Avoid using the oven/stove by preparing salads with tons of raw veggies for meals...cooling and healthy while keeping the house from getting too warm.
Cut up and freeze fruit for a cooling snack!
Ice cream and air conditioning!

My favorite way to cool down is to spritz water from a fan mister then use the battery powered fan to evaporate the water from my face.
Tri-tip!
A big pitcher of iced tea and a trip to the lake!
I keep my fridge stocked with homemade iced tea and I have a glass whenever I feel like I need to cool down.

Take a quick dip then get under an umbrella by the ocean..
A cool shower always does the trick!

My friends and I have pool days at each other's apartment pool's - we bring drinks and enjoy the day!
