saying hi as a fellow fulltimer in a different situation.

Air conditioning, as we know it today, was not invented until 1902 and has only been in common usage in homes for the past 50 years. Somehow folks survived and children grew up in the heat and humidity. As for limited space? How about those yurts and teepees, and sod cabins, and city apartments? Large families survived lack of privacy and limited facilities. Happy families can be happy anywhere. lizzie
