Beds were the beginning of making everybody into candy asses. I have a bed, but I don't sleep on it. My truck has mexican airconditioning and a high definition windshield. I live in south texas, AC malfuntion is an emergency maintenance request here, literally.

When the a/c goes out it is serious business. It is a necessity of life. Last year my 15 year old Amana window unit smoked it's last one about the beginning of summer, and I bought a Carrier window unit to replace it. This will be its first test to see how it does. So far, so good.

not to hijack but...
the rest of the story was it was working fine until she had a very minor accident - under $1000 in body/bumper - but the adjuster could not see how the accident broke the evaporator so the insurance did not pay - I did ...
but the accident was severe enough for two of the other occupants of the other auto to sue for medical damages though they were laughing and jumping around at the scene ... thus is life... SSDD

You were sued?!?! Did it go to court?

You guys in south texas have the same problem we do in north texas, humidity. The guys in west texas can open a window, turn on a fan and be just fine. Kinda tough to do that when the temperature humidity index is pushing 115

regarding a/c. we have two systems at home one for the bedrooms and one for the common areas, both are 3-1/2 tons units. when we purchased and remodelled we replaced the common area unit but the bedrooms unit was left as it was. we also purchased an appliance insurance policy with american home shield. about one year ago the older unit finally died and we called ahs for repair/replacement. it took them about 6 months to finally deny paying the claim (not surprisingly) because in their opinion the unit was improperly serviced. in the interim we discovered that a/c is highly over-rated. at about that time (when we had finally become re-acclimated to my beloved humid hot Florida) we replaced the other unit at a cost $2700.00 now I'm freezing my arse off so we use it sparingly where we used to use it 24/7/365. but it is nice on the particularly hot days.
now about toilet paper, what would be the alternative? :D

Or if you happen to be waterskiing, you can just stick your arse in the big blue and presto!... all clean

Pine cones are natures toilet brush. Not only can you scrape to your hearts delight but you can dig for the elusive chunks!
-
corn husks you uncivilized monsters. when we go camping we bring along the charmin. :D
-
Corn husks? Pine Cones? Oak leaves?
My idea of camping is no room service. Girly-man? Phhffftt. You want to be miserable, then go for it. I like to be comfortable.
People do die from the heat in this part of the country. There is no getting used to 110+ heat. The human body can only stand any heat above body temperature for a finite period of time.

For emergency use while hunting in the woods without toilet paper, when you absolutely have to go. You cut off your underwear with your hunting knife and use that. That's how it's done when no roll is available. I always bring a roll hunting because of having done that once or twice.

been there. right about the time you start to do the paper work and damn, nothing to write on. :D

went to death valley one year with a girl over spring break.
i dont care how much paper youve got when there isnt a rock, a tree or a bush to hide behind, the last thing you want to do is dig a hole and squat in front of her....sichiations like dem you just hold and pray....hold and pray.

The potato is supposed to go in the front of your pants. If you couldn't do the natural thing, why did you go camping with her JB88? That sounds like a drag.:D
