How are you keeping cool in this heat??

Hello Everyone I live near Nashville,TN and it has been so hot here lately I was wondering how everyone keeps cool in this heat and humidity?? We literally have to have our window air conditioner running day and night and at night,we are lucky if our temps fall below 78 degrees! It has gotten to the point where I don't like going out in this weather unless I absolutely have to! There is no relief from this heat whatsoever and even in the early morning hours we are already close to 80 degrees! How do you deal with the heat and humidity?? If you don't have a pool how do you keep cool?? I am seriously thinking about buying a sprinkler so I can go out and stand in it when our outside temps skyrocket during the day! A sprinkler would be alot cheaper than a pool,and it would be a great way to stay cool when it is so hot outside! Tamara

But the last few weeks have been very nice for us. I went swimming a time or two. Ate (eat) lots of ice cream and juice-pops. And just try to stay in the shade with a breeze if I'm not sun bathing (with sun screen on).
I don't think that is much help for you..but I've never lived where it gets really really hot!
How long have you lived in the South? I am also native American, and only had air conditioning since I was in my 20's, but not continuously since then.
