The thing is that I'm not very frugal when summer comes. My bedroom is
at about 66* and the rest of the house 70 - 74*. I'm looking for a way
to make the A/C not have to run as much.

The way I cool is mostly from an little 8k btu window rattler in the
bedroom window. That can run day and night for less than $50/month. I
have central A/C but it's old and costs a lot to run. Part of its
inefficiency is because I don't use about 1/3 of the house and have the
vents closed. I then set the A/C fan speed down one notch since there
are less vents open. The good part is that is also gives me added
dehumidification, and I love it arid! Anyway I set the central at about
76* and leave the bedroom door open. The little window unit with the
door open does a good job up to about 85* outside. The last couple
weeks we have been in a 90-97* heat wave so the central does run on and
off quite a bit.

I didn't want to use a thermostat because if I mount it in the attic, it
will respond too slow. I suppose I could figure out a way to put it on
the roof in such a manner that the sprinkler doesn't turn itself off
again in the first pass. From my observations, it may work well if it
just used a timer and turned on for 1 minute every 20 minutes.

A sprinkler will only help if the roof isnt well insulated. Wont make any difference if it is.

It'll only make any real difference if the roof/attic isnt insulated.

Yes, I did it in south Florida. It does help cool the building, but
insulation will do a better job. My primary reason for doing it was
to increase the life expectancy of the asphalt shingles. Shingles
have three main routes to failure - Degradation from UV radiation,
outgassing from excess heat, and expansion contraction cycles creating
cracks. To a lesser extent, mold can be an issue.

Use a single hose end impulse sprinkler and hook the hose to a
programmable water timer. The one I had allowed four sprinkling
events per day. 10 AM, Noon, 2 PM 4 PM 6:30 PM worked for me,
watering for about 15 minutes or less each time. It really was quite
simple to set up. You will need to put a single screw in the base of
the sprinkler to hold it in position. Is it cost effective for
cooling? Marginally, but probably a wash when you pay for the hose,
timer, sprinkler, and water. However... an extra couple of years
life on a roof is a good savings.

You can search the archives for more details on what I did.

I like the idea of the elevated solar panels; do any of the companies
actually install them that way? I've invented (in my mind of course)
similar contraptions for the roof like "shades" you could raise to
allow the air flow and shade.
But I agree that sprinkler on the roof would do what you said plus
make the area around the house more humid as well. The bright side
would be if there was a forest fire your house wouldn't burn :)

A friend of mine tried this . . . he bought a gizmo that you attached to a
garden hose, and it ran on the roof and had several smaller hoses extending
from it that dripped water on to the hot roof. He couldn't detect any
difference, but it eventually damaged his shingles where the water dripped.
No idea why.

I would also worry about hard water stains, a problem often created by
leaky swamp coolers. They can be quite unsightly.

Doesnt say anything like that 'seriously carcinogenic'
claim and even if it did, its just plain wrong on that.

Really they're all pretty much the same. I use a cheap one from a
company called "Ezonics", it actually has surprisingly good video
quality. It doesn't have a built in microphone. A trip to the dollar
store can fix that if need be. I find actually getting a headset works
well because the microphone is positioned near your mouth, which
yields better quality than a mic on the web cam on top of the
computer.

For software I generally use MSN messenger as it's very simple to use.

My experience with a lot of hardware is included software is generally
crappy. Why limit yourself to only the crappy voice chat software the
manufacture bundled when the camera can be used with any program?
Personally I use MSN messenger as it's very easy to set up.

Buy a camera at whatever price you want to pay, then use whatever
program you want.

My choices are:

Creative Live! Cam Optia

and

Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/243&cl=us,en

In my opinion, both strike the optimal balance between
quality/features and price. Either can be had for around $60 online.

I dont eat out at all in that sense, just due to some event like
the last time when one of the people at work retired and we
had a big pissup since he had been there for 39 years.

I agree with whoever it was that said that I eat better at home
than I do out, and I now have the eating at home down to such
an efficient operation that its actually easier than farting around
going out, so I only really eat out when away from home now.

If, when they say, "can't be forwarded" what they mean is that it's
somewhat harder to forward it, then I'll agree. If they actually
mean "can't be forwarded", then they're nuts, and wrong.

EEK!!!! when I was a child, we had a number of vacations in a lemon

It's definitely a "glass half full"-type situation. But since OhioGuy
