Hot :(

That's so -not- cool! (obvious joke, had to be made, sorry).

I tried 42 degrees Celcius in Greece once.... I feel for you..

the thermometer is pegged at 90F I bet its at least 95 in here. :(

That sucks big time. Especially since the UV index is up over 8 today. *comforts*

Want me to ship some Austin Ice to you?

heh Texas people don't know hot. 95 is like a nice mellow day. :P

But 95 in 85% + humidity is murder Ry.. anywhere else like Phoenix or Arizona is dry dry so when you sweat it helps, not akes you even wetter.

I feel your pain Rikr. Our A/C at work is on the fritz and with everyone in/out it probably doesn't even matter. And with my asthma when I get hot.. I can't breathe. Or when it's too moist, can't breathe (hot tubs can be a bitch /sigh).. so this time of year yeah, I know exactly what you mean. *passes over ice blocks to sit on*

The humidity in Texas is nothin. I barely notice it. Dry heat certainly makes your eyebrows feel like they're being singed off, but go to a more humid place like an island where you feel like you're swimming when you walk. You'll think Texas is nice ;) I thought this whole summer was really cool out. Ate my lunch outside most days wearing a black suit as usual. Seriously, I don't think it's that hot here.

I coach football...I'm out in the sun for a few hours everyday..today it was about 103 =(

Ry...you're crazy. :( I used to live in Arizona. I prefer dry to humid any day. Although hot is hot...the humidity is like wearing another shirt. It was getting to where I couldnt breathe very well in my office. I wont be doing that today. I might be walking around downstairs...where their AC works just fine. :(

You think they'll mind the kiddie pool I'm bringing with me today?

Thankfully the east coast is cooling off a bit. Last few weeks had been hot with a ton of humidity. The kind that doesnt get better with rain, but worse!

Unfortunately I work in an office that thinks it should be 40 degrees F all day, every day. I wear sweaters!

I dont believe hell is hot, its cold. I know, I lived there. -90 is the sux!

Y'all need to give up the heat and move north.
Rik hunny, jump on a plane and come visit Chicago. I'm having a party this weekend.

Thx for the offer Gilae!!!! Good news!! It is fixed!! hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray!

Does this mean you're not coming? :(

You should take some time to check out hot weather past times to at least amuse you while you're burning up.

1. Watching tourists pass out from heat stroke (seriously amused me as a teenager in South Florida to see the shock on a tourist's face when exiting the nice air conditioned air port. )

2. Fry eggs on the side walk (Ry was discussing this last night )

3. Watch barefoot people at pool resorts do the hot pavement dance. (this is great fun on the beach as well )

4. Think of all the construction workers outside in it and instantly feel cooler by comparison.

5. Send maintenance requests via email to mother nature asking her to fix the AC please.

6. Call up someone that lives in the north and listen to them complain about how hot it is, then tell them the current weather conditions where you are. (at least if you're going to complain about it, you'll not look nearly so wussy when the person from montana is bitching about how they couldn't wear a long sleeved shirt it is so hot.)

7. Bring soap and water to work and tell your fellow employees you are going outside to take a bath in the humidity.

8. Bring a water gun to work and shoot co workers as they walk by your desk.. its hot, they might be grateful

9. Bring in a couple of those personal fans and have paper ball races across the desk with them.

10. Post on a board how hot it is where you are so everyone can share your pain. ;)

anyone that doesn't live in New England has no cause to complain about the weather.

It's all relative I tell ya. I would love it when I would tell people that we were hot as hell in our house in Yelm when it would hit 90 outside and be about that hot inside. I'd have people from wherever else that that wasn't hot.

Oh yeah...these same people had AC in their home when it would be that hot and they didn't ever think about not using that AC when it would be above 90. Try living in a home with no natural shading, no attic venilation when it would hover around 90 for the week. Sure it would get down to 65 at night, but homes do not shed heat like you think they would.

Oh and even up in Alaska now, there is a pretty dang big difference from it being 80 here, and it being 80 in Texas, or New Mexico. Simply because that sun is overhead, allllll day.

My apartment has no AC, is on the highest floor of my building, 2 windows total, and here in portland it can hit 95 (on my car thermo, so its a little inaccurate) Go go box fan and Ice packs!

My ac is out in my car still....hopefully my compressor will be in tomorrow.

I hate Texas in the summer. As soon as I step outside I just start sweating immediately. I've also had the AC go out before and that's just hell on Earth.
