OK so this heat is ridiculus....

I am not sure how hot it is elsewhere, but here in western NewYork state it is unbearable.  I say I don't know because we do not have central air and I am not sitting home seeing the weather channel like usual.  Today is our company outing to a baseball game and the heat index is supposed to reach 110+ ...I am wilting but really worry about the health of the players.

What do you do to beat the heat?  i am tired of complaining about it and just want to have some fun......

I am thinking a few more squirt guns could only help this world.  Anyone for a water ballon battle?  I know...I am going to go to the zoo and share an ice block with the polar bears!

Don't know about anyone else, but the heat tends to make me anxious. Kinda sucks.

When I get too hot I take my t-shirt off, run it under cold water, ring it out and put it back on. You can also tie a wet cold rag around your forehead or neck. Really does help.

Good luck and stay cool.....

It has been super hot here in MI too! Monday we lost our power from 7pm-8am and then again on Tuesday from 5pm-1am - at least it was during the night and I got to still have my morning coffee! How considerate of the electric company! lol

Today the heat index is supposed to be about 110, my poor husband has to work outside today. I tried talking him into staying home, but he's stubborn.

Right now, I am sitting in the house with my air on high, freezing my toes off BUT I know that if I turn it up? down? <- I confuse the two on A/C that the house will heat up quickly.

Do any of you notice that this kind of heat affects your guts? I noticed that I seem to be more nauseous and just icky.

i wish i could send you some of this rain your way...British columbia is normaly really warm right now..not this year it seems you all are getting all our heat.( Now mind you I don't think i want all that hottness..just a tiny bit to dry my lawn out so i can cut it would be nice)

I actually blew off work today to stay home and play in the pool. (shush, don't tell the boss) The A/C is broke in my car so I wasn't wanting to sit in traffic at 95 degrees this afternoon. Not to mention walking several blocks from my building to the parking lot. So the dog and I have been playing in water, she loves the hose! Cool drinks, popsicles and more pool time for me.

I am in the New Orleans area and it is ALWAYS hot and humid here! Unfortunately, I have never acclimated! I surely miss Seattle and the mild weather there.
When the heat and humidity peak, I hibernate inside the air conditioning!
98 degree heat combined with 95 percent humidity = an unhappy colon!
To cool down, I take a cool bath and think cool thoughts and pray for a cold front!

We've been burning up in chicagoland the last few days. Temps hit 100 yesterday and 104 today, without the index. We're expecting a cold front tomorrow.. like 90F. Yay!fail

well gee you guys,, my heater just came on! and i have my electric blanket on at night... just sayin'

I have one daughter who has finished college and moved out, the other one is working most of the summer so she is never home. We have a big pool in the backyard but now there isn't anyone to use it. So yesterday I set up a play date for myself. I called all the moms in the neighborhood to come over and bring their kids. We just sat in the pool and caught up while the kids played. But as one family was coming over they had a friend with them, the friend asked: Do they have kids? our little neighbor girl answered: They used too!

I plan on spending most of the day today back in the pool, or inside in the A/C. My garden needs some tending, but I just don't think I can do it in this heat.

I have a pool in the back yard but the water is brown and the floating alligators are real. Still its good to take a dip in now and then . With the rain and heat you can watch the grass grow behind the lawn mower . I dont know what the big deal is about the convection oven . We had them way before they were invented . They were called, homes with window fans , back then.

dag nabbit, now it getting warm here we are suppossed to hit 69 today!

I'm in WNY too, and it was 98 in my house last night but today a cool 86, yay!

Well it is 11:30pm and still 100 outside.  But I say all this knowing that most of you are not used to that kind of heat.   Good luck and find some air conditioning!
