"Warming Center"...like a mall, library, or movie theater?
;^)
When our daughter was born, we only had a little AC in her room and fans for the rest of the house. The summer when she was about 1 was terribly hot around here and we couldn't stay in her little room all day, so we would go to a mall and trudge around during the hottest midday hours. Finally ponied up for central air...we had no trouble affording it, the wife just insisted until the end that "we didn't need it in New England".
We didn't NEED granite countertops, either, honey, but you got those, right?
