Heat makes me cranky too. Sorry to hear about your AC. That would seriously irritate me to no end! Thank goodness we have two AC's lol

I totally sympathize! I live in Florida, and the A/C breaking or freezing over quickly turns a house into a steam bath! We had it happen last weekend, so I can totally relate! If you can send the boy out, get a box fan or the like and put it right on you on high. I also rec having a rubbing alcohol wipe-down because the evaporation helps cool you off.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you don't melt away! And I also hope your back feels better!

We are here for you!

Thanks! We tried calling the office and of course they're closed. I'll see about getting a box fan and the alcohol sounds like a great idea....both the rubbing kind and the one that comes in glass bottles. LOL

Having an AC broken in that situation is considered an emergency in just about every state. If you do spend any money on the fans or whatever to keep you cool, keep your receipts and deduct them from your rent payment if they refuse to send someone out. And then follow that up with a call to the local housing authority.
