No, because you'll get a very wet apartment. The vent would leak. This has
happened in my home when the water auto-feed stuck in the open position.

A hot-water system can be used for cooling. I had this in my last apartment.
Basically, it was a closed loop hot water system with registers that had fans
to force air through them. In the summer they'd pump chilled water through
instead. It's important to note that the registers had drip pans with drains
to collect all the condensation, though.

I am now worried about how sun plans to condense her stuff.

Well, if I reduce my crap to stuff ratio, and by not living with this person,
I regain half of my overly large entertainment center, it's not that bad.
Dad put money down on apartment yesterday, and we'll know tuesday about moving
in the end of nov. I have the floor plans for thhe new place, the place now,
and the place before, so I have a good idea where things will have to go.
The stuff I'm worried about is the stuff we got together, and my storage
stuff, like my Christmas Tree and ornaments. I have them in our garage, but
that won't work at the new place. I'm going to a friends for the weekend,
and the idea is to arrange and plot in advance. It is about the same size
as the place I had in Brighton, and the only new additions to my stuff are
the 50 gal fish tank, a small chair, and a new small bookcase. So it's
doable.

Heh. I need to reduce my "crap to stuff" ratio, too.

Yes, considering that we have cats and litter boxes <giggles>

Mixed day. Ended up spending a couple hours climbing up to and down from the
attic to run a TV antenna cable. Sounds easy, except that the attic entrance
is a 2 foot hole in the ceiling (no built-in ladder), and the space I was
working in has about 20" of clearance. Anyway, I got it to happen without
having to go back to the office for the fish tape. And now my reception is
about 5% better (given the number of channels that were at 94-95%, that's a
pretty good gain).

re 130: Well, that would be my crap to litter ratio, which is unfortunately
approaching 1...

Re #128: I'd love to give you a hand moving, ashke, but much as I'd
love to increase my moving karma I've got a con this weekend. :/

IHB- I had fun at Conor's trivia night last night with Syl and That
Guy. Although, there are some scary people, either way too much time
on their hands or they go to trivia night so often they have most of
the answers memorized. <grins>

Taekwondo class felt nice. Got out some pent up stress and am in a
slightly better mood than when I woke up.

Mark- initially it's based on team play. You pay $5 per team and get
your first answer sheet. They call out questions, you write your
answers. At the end of each category the answer sheets are collected
and new ones distributed. Points are added up and at the end prizes
are awarded. The second part involves people just shouting out the
answers- so it's possible that a couple people can get the answer at
the same time. Although, to be heard you have to be quite close to the
guy asking questions.

Is Dave still asking questions?
It was a lot of fun when we used to just shout out the answers.

Thanks Anne. I'd be up for that some time. How often do they do it, and is
there any limit on team size?

I'm not sure on the limit of team size, nor the name of the guy who
calls out questions.
Oh, but I do know that it's every Monday night.
The shouting it out part was okay... but certain people seemed to be
favorites with the question asker (and since they were right in front)
and they got heard more often than some others...

According to arborweb.com, the question guy is Geoff Cost, a local high school
english teacher.

<blinks> He's an English teacher? Heh... neat.
It was fun, as I said, but it doesn't wrap up until 11:00-11:30... so
those of us that have to work the next morning need to be prepared for
that.
Most of the questions were really obscure stuff, part of what made it
so entertaining. They also say that if you don't know the answer but
have a really creative one you still might get a point for it.

So I was in a meeting today, and had to sit for a good ten minutes trying to
keep a straight face while coworkers of mine discussed, quite seriously,
something or other called the "Master Patient Index". Without good diction.
(Hey, it's juvenile, but what can I say. :)

So far work has been okay. I've been getting lots of little things
done, and I like feeling like I'm accomplishing something.
