Swamp Cooler is *not* the proper name for it. It's slang. Sure, you
can Google and find a ton of listings for swamp coolers, but technically
it's an evaporative cooler. A true swamp cooler is a big pan filled
with ice with fan blowing across it to cool the room.

It will look like what Jill described: a fan set behind a pan of ice.

You have issues. There is nothing wrong with that term.

Swamp cooler is a great name. The people that I know that actually have
one call it a "swamp cooler." One lives in Arizona and the other is in
Southern California. They work great! We don't have any on this rock though.

I suggest that we call them "phase-change heat transfer units" because
you can't ever go wrong by being technically accurate - or can you?

If anything they share a lot in common with your average toilet, given
the float and fill valve mechanism.

Fining people for not shovelling their sidewalks may not get them
cleared in that storm, but chances are the homeowner will be more
diligent about it in the future. It is like photo radar. The person may
or may not realize that they got nailed at the time, but when the photo
radar ticket shows up at their door they get the message.

Everyone I know uses that term. Say it and they know what you mean. Say
"evaporative cooler" and you might get an odd look.

Uh, no. The new one just arrived. I will put up a pic.

http://www.wayfair.com/Culer-Double-...-AUMT1004.html

This one doesn't have as much capacity as the old one but it is better in
that I can make it put out more mist at once and it takes up far less floor
space so will be easier to store.

I had a service guy come into the office this morning asking about the
air conditioner. I gave him the complete run down including the
temperature readings and a short history of the AC performance
throughout the years. We concluded that the AC was shitty and needed to
be replaced. Oh yeah.

Currently, the temperature on my desktop is 79 degrees and rising. Oh crap!

Not a bladder. It's a bowel, hence the verbal diarrhoea.
It's a dual-purpose organ for Acme Bully Control, it's brain cavity

It's not just this neighborhood. It's this area in general. People are

You go right ahead. You do that and you'll see them. They're on the street
that curves around this way from the Burger Master. See? I gave you even
more help! And no, I'm not going to post their address. But when you look
it up, if the pic is current, you'll see their addition they are building.
Google Earth is out of date though. I don't think they have my new roof on
there yet but at least they took down the Halloween pic where my house was
covered in spiders.

Good for him. EVERY law, ordinance, regulation, should be ENFORCED
COMPLETELY against ALL. However else will people wise up and get rid of all
these ridiculous laws, ordinances, and regulations that are currently
imposed willy nilly against a few poor unlucky schmucks and nobody else
cares because it isn't enforced against them.

Apparently, cattle won't eat them and that allows them to multiply.

I live on a ridge between two valleys. Definitely not swampy here! ;-)

Besides, best not to live on the low lying country in these parts.
Torrential downpours can lead to flooding!

Look up bully, and see how many there are here. There are actually posters
here that say she has mental problems, and yet they keep jabbing. What does
that say about them? Personally, I have known Julie for years, she's not a
troll, or any of the things that people say about her, she's just a poster
that some of them have decided to dog pile at every turn, so good for them,
bunch of asswipes that they are. Do they even know how small that makes them
look? Probably not, so carry on.

Julie and I have had plenty of skirmishes through the years, but I have
never singled her out for continued abuse, nor has she singled me out,
unlike some of these *mean little people* that jump on her every post, and
that ****es me off. It really does, so I can be just as mean as these bunch
of shitheads too. OB food...bite the bone!!!

I think they are lovely. The verges at the sides of our roads have a lot of
them. I notice they are not mowing wild flowers now and I love it. We also
have buttercups and regular daisies too as well as a pretty lilac flower.
They mow them later to tidy up when they are done.

Very Well Said, but I doubt they will ever accept it. I believe they are so
bullied and repressed themselves in real life their only outlet is to bully
people here ... behind a screen ... So brave don't you think?

I guess someone now knows that I can be mean too because, unusually for me,
you must admit, I really went off on one! The superior attitude and lies
just got to me. Perhaps I ought to start a new thread all about how I have
just kf'd someone ... what do you think? Ok, childish I know, but you can't
blame me for considering it I might learn to be properly mean and let's
see how well that goes down. I might have to work at it but I am a fast
learner. Hell I have plenty of experts here to learn from!

Anyway, I don't give a shit. I know myself and at least I have self
respect, unlike some others here who are beneath contempt and need to take a
long, hard look at themselves. OB food ... chew on that!!!

Julie,
Does this one require ice? How does it work now that you have it? Is
it giving you total relief or just somewhat?

Yeah but it's finally cool in here. Had to shut it off. Outside temp is
down so humidity is up around 70%. Weird, how that works here. I gather
other places are not the same.
