In the 1930s and 1940s this overriding consideration led George W. Bush’s grandfather to establish a profitable commercial relationship with the Nazis. In the 1980s, it underlay the alliance forged—in no small part by George W. Bush’s father, the senior President Bush—with the Islamic fundamentalists in the war against the Soviet-backed regime in Afghanistan. Today it is at the heart the younger Bush’s policies of militarism and colonialism abroad and repression and social attacks at home. |

Well, 100% humidity generally occurs around daybreak; by the middle of the day it can be down to 40%, although we're enjoying a little gift of warm, moist air from the South and it's 89 F, 54% humidity right now. I see we had a very nice day in early May: 64 F, 25% humidity. My conjecture on our minimum seems to have been a bit off. Cindy Hamilton |

> At my age, I'm just glad that thing still pops up. Eventually, Brown Brothers Harriman—the largest private investment bank in America at the time—came to be dominated by S&B members. George Bush’s grandfather, George Herbert Walker, served as the bank’s President. His father, Prescott, served as the bank’s Vice President.[8*] Brown Brothers Harriman was helped to ascension by the powerful Warburg “Jewish” banking monopoly—one of the principle controlling interests behind the German conglomerate I.G. Farben, which, ironically, provided not only the gas, but much of the funds used to effect Hitler’s “final solution.” Brown Brothers had funded American slave plantations during the Civil War, and former Brown Brothers partner, Bank of England Governor Montagu Collet Norman, was known as the most avid supporter of Hitler within British ruling circles. Brown Brothers-Harriman would become the largest and most politically influential private banking house in the United States.[9] The elder Bush was also director of the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation—both Nazi front companies. Like father like son, George Herbert Walker Bush would later go on to form similar business alliances with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, taking in personal oil kickbacks, and arming that country with conventional, biological and chemical weapons, both in violation of his own Arms Control and Armaments Amendments Act, and as a prelude to a war which he would instigate and precipitate. |

Some years ago I bought some digestive supplements at the health food store and told the owner that I could not have bromelain. I had tried something else on my own and it didn't set well. She wound up selling me the wrong kind and I knew it as soon as I started burping. It was near constant and lasted all night. Stomach pains too. Thankfully she took them back and gave me the right ones. |

Why take a shower? I'll just be miserable! I would get into a cold shower for about 5 minutes and that would be good but the instant I stepped out. Ack! And I hated touching surfaces like wood. They'd be sticky. |

All of those fans create heat so they just add to your discomfort. Get a proper AC if you want to survive or go jump in the Pacific ocean as it isn't far from where you live. === |

I know all that stuff but that just won't work in this house. For one thing, none of the windows have sills big enough to accommodate anything more than a tiny fan. And this house was remodeled. I would say that it is all one level but due to the way that they remodeled it, the part I am sitting in now is probably 6" lower than the front of it. There is a tiny ramp-like piece of wood that connects this room to the dining room. The living room has no window that can be opened. There is a window. It just can't be opened. I did have a new storm door put in that is solid at the bottom but the top piece of glass can slide down and there is a screen there. Basically this house is very long from the front to the back but not exactly shotgun style. The bedrooms and bathrooms all go off to one side and the kitchen and laundry room off to the other. No windows in the laundry room. Very tiny windows in the kitchen which when opened, cranks the heat up about 10 degrees. So I do leave them shut. I can open the door which is a jury rigged screen door, made solid at the bottom. That helps a little but there is no real way to get cool air over to the end where the stove is. So your stupid little theories won't work here. |

Humidity around 50% My swamp cooler works just fine, I use it and a couple of fans to direct the cool air though the house. I have to turn off the cooler and fams around 9 PM or it gets too cold. I've not used the A/C in years. -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

LOL, 14 fans in one house... Julie's gone back to default mode again, I see. For a few days there, her posts were all perfectly normal. Then 'it' starts again... I've noticed this cycle several times now. Sometimes I get curious as to what truly motivates her to post these ridiculous posts when she can clearly choose *not* to do it. |

I'm curious if the local housing authority and her homeowners insurance know that there are no viable fire escape routes from the bedrooms, or any rooms for that matter, other than the main doors in that house? Sounds not only cat-proof, but human-proof. -- jinx the minx |

Let's see. I have one near the front door. One near the two bedrooms. I bought one for husband to put in his room but he didn't. Angela has one by her computer. I have two little battery operated ones near mine. She has the same on the back of the couch. There is one on the kitchen counter near the door. There is a big one around the corner from the kitchen door. There is one by the sliding door. One by one window in this room and a tiny one in the other window. It is a personal fan so basically just blows on whichever cat is on the perch. There is another little one in front of the couch. And there are two in each bedroom, one by each bed. So I guess we are really only using 13. There are a lot of windows in this house but several of them don't open. Keep in mind that the entire middle portion of this house, has no windows whatever. It's just a walk through dining room. Which obviously nobody uses for any reason when it is hot. Nobody likes to sit in an oven and that's essentially what it is. This is in no way any kind of a normal floor plan. |

What's ridiculous about that? My parents used to use at least 6 fans in their house although they did have a basement and it was almost always cool down there. They lived closer to the water so the temp. at their house was often 10 degrees cooler than here. |

Yes, given the right situation, they can suck hot air out and vent it outside. That won't work in this house. They work to cool the body off by blowing on it. Therefore, I need a lot of them in various places. Sure I could do what some people do and carry one around with me but... I prefer to have them sitting where I need them. And they may not all be on at once. I currently have only one going. The one by the sliding door. Our weather is cooler today and will be tomorrow and yet it has only gone down to 75 degrees in here. When I worked at the golf course, it was commonly 100 degrees in the pro shop and like an oven out in the clearance section. The dining room (rarely used) was a pleasant temperature as was the restaurant portion. The ladies restroom was like a freezer and the mens restroom wasn't much better. Someone explained to me why this was. Had something to do with where the sensors were placed. But why they never corrected the problem was beyond me. We did have a huge fan in there behind the counter. And you had better believe that we stood in front of it when we were stuck in there. When not stuck in there, we either ran outside which was almost always cooler or in the dining room if we could manage it. We were not supposed to go in there but sometimes things just got too unbearable and it was either that or get heat exhaustion. Yes, the big fan was blowing hot air but it was the blowing part that helped to cool us off, even if only a little bit. |

There are three. They should have put one in the dining room. I think that would have really helped. We had a three bedroom house on Cape Cod that was bigger than this. But it had a different floor plan entirely and a basement. It got very hot and muggy there every summer and I managed with no AC up until I got pregnant. And then I got grumpy. Got a window unit for the spare bedroom which was where the computer was. I pretty much moved in there. I'd use the kitchen or bathroom but even ate my meals in there. Pregnancy does weird things to ya. I never had any food cravings like some do. Perhaps because I was good to take vitamins and I ate only healthy foods. When I do have cravings, it is because my body is lacking in something, like magnesium. But I did crave comfort! Towards the end, I was miserable because my feet and lower legs ballooned up. I was starting to go into Pre-Eclampsia when I was induced a day early. And I couldn't really elevate my feet very well because I was told only to lie down on my left side. So I could elevate the one leg somewhat but trying to do the left leg was a tad uncomfortable. That's where the AC helped. The cold air helped to bring the swelling down. I remember going to the Mutual of Omaha Zoo in Nebraska when we were passing through. It was a wicked hot day and we had to do a lot of walking. Normally I like going to the zoo but this was too much. I found a little building with a fake cow in it and it had AC. The cow was nice and cool and I kept hugging it. Husband was getting mad at me because he thought I had some sort of thing for the cow. I couldn't get him to understand that it was the AC I was after. Back at the motel, I was so miserable from the swelling of my feet and legs that I made numerous trips to the ice machine, filling anything and everything that I had. I always travel with at least a few zip top bags. Could have used a few more that time! I got on the bed and packed bags of ice all over my feet and legs and within about a half an hour, the swelling went down. I don't know what it is about heat that does that to me. Also really dry air, too much humidity and flying in an airplane. Maybe it's because I am a Cancer. I just have a great propensity for swelling. |
