Putting in extra insulation in our attic and additional ceiling fans in our dining room and our bedroom (in addition to our living room and kitchen) has really helped keep us cool with our ac this year. Of course having milder summer weather here in Ohio this year has helped, too!
Rather than keeping a list of passwords, I keep hints that mean nothing to anyone but me. Very useful for me, but worthless to anyone who steals or finds a lost phone.
Having recently lost my iPhone, I know from personal experience the peace of mind you get from the "remote wipe" app. Also, passwording your phone, not keeping any sort of compromising photos, not auto-saving passwords and not allowing automatic logins. Yes, it's a pain to manually enter logins and passwords all the time, but when I discussed the loss with our IT department at work (my employer supplies my phone), we went through a checklist of possible problems. The tech told me "You're the IT department's dream! There's nothing on there to worry about and you wiped it less than an hour after you lost it. Best thing you can do!"
Close up the house during the day (with light-blocking curtains and everything). Then when it cools down at night, open everything up and use big window fans.
Glad to help. When using Wyzant, try to refer students new students to the service as much as possible. The reason is that if you refer new students, you keep 95% of your hourly rate versus just 60%. What I like a lot about the service is that payment is processed through a 3rd party so it helps avoid awkward situations in which students take a long time to pay.
There are many companies out there that you can make money online with such as network marketing and they aren't scams contrary to what many people might think. I believe it is a lack of information and education on the type of buesiness that makes them think it is a scam.
Instead of running the A/C, we run window fans. The fans exhaust air of the house during the day, and brings in the cooler air at night. Of course, when the temperature doesn't drop at night, then we have no choice but to run the A/C!
My favorite way to beat the heat is a trip to the NJ shore. It is only about an hour and a half drive for me. Easy day trip. Cool breeze, ocean air, sun...I love it!
Here in the Finger Lakes, it usually cools down at night. We make it cool enough to sleep by putting a sturdy fan in the window to suck the cool night air into the house.
When it gets abnormally hot and humid, we go sit in the river at the foot of the nearby water falls. It's hard to stay hot in the mist from the falls.
Air conditioning! But I have a programable thermostat and keep it at 75 during the day. In order to get the kids outdoors though, we bought a larger kiddie pool they all can fit in. It has been a big hit!
The photo for the Kodiak Flex-Bow Tent is wrong -- pictured is just a generic canvas tent. The flex-bow is the design of the flexing steel rods that keeps the roof under tension. I own the 8 person version of this tent and totally love it. It's definitely heavy, but we've weathered thunderstorms in it with no problem and we didn't have to worry that it might collapse! As someone who's 6'3" tall, I also really like being able to stand up inside.
My absolute favorite way to beat the heat is by mixing a few drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a little spritzer and spritzing myself with it as needed. It makes me smell minty-fresh and really helps bring down my body temperature! I stick with doTERRA essential oils, since I trust them the most, but you could likely use any kind.
I often wear my daughter in a carrier more often than not (I'm also pregnant!), so this really helps cool both of us down!

Sip on cold ice water. I like mine flavored, but plain ol' water is good too.
We love to see movies in the summer, but honestly it never gets too hot here. That's why I love the Northwest.

That's when I need a cold glass of lemonade or iced tea.
I am a huge fan of AC. It's worth the little bit extra on my electric bill in the summer. I also love a good cold beverage while sitting in the AC.

Could you provide an example of such a company?

I only turn the A/C on for a few minutes during the hottest part of the afternoon to get a quick breeze of cool air.
We keep the windows open to get a breeze and use ceiling fans.
I would check out some of the light weight tents as well. If you want to hike, then that is really important!
I like to drink iced tea and icy water to beat the heat

Food: Always have some lime juice (no sugar, salt instead) in my refrigerator. Avoid spicy foods as much (makes you perspire more)
Clothing: As soon as I get home from work, I get down to my boxers
Shelter: Use window curtains and shut down bath room AC vents to maximize AC usage. Have a table fan for my bedroom to cut down on AC usage
I walk around with a bag of ice or an ice pack on my head. It looks silly but it sure feels refreshing!

I'd love to go to the waterpark with my whole family to beat the heat! #wbask

Keeping the curtains closed on hot days & if that fails head to the movies!

Open the windows, turn on the fans, and close the shades.
