this heatwave is getting worse and it's nearly dangerous to even step outside. what do you do to stay cool in this heat?

Move.

I lay on my bed naked under the ceiling fan with a damp towel over me.

Do you have a largeish fridge? Step inside.

Is there a beach or a swimming pool by you? Step inside.

Last resort: if you have a shopping mall. Step inside (I know this solution sucks, that's why it's absolutely a last resort one).

Good luck: I was always a winter lover (comes from having 'roots' in Transylvania, drooooool), but as I get older I dislike the heat more and more. I sympathise.

i've got a full-sized, upright freezer...been considering that as an option.

Went in the hot tub and had my electric blanket on last nite, cold here.[:)]

Put a bowl of ice behind your fan...cools the air just as it's being sucked in to blow over you. [:D]

Oh michael, I do feel sorry for you... think of cool and cold things. Mind over matter seems to help, in desperate situations.



sub4hire -> RE: Does anyone else feel like a fried egg? (8/10/2007 8:27:20 AM)

Get naked, if you can't do that go as naked as you can.  Drink lots of water.
Think about the winter when you just wish you could be warm.

I have my fan in my living room, and one in the bedroom.  I avoid the air conditioner at all costs, since the noise annoys me. However, at 103 and with high humidity... I find myself longing for the desert again... Vegas has been cooler than here. This is not fair.
And I do not have AC in my car...

Cool Recipe

1 fan (16" floor stand type recommended)
1 plant sprayer
1 bed
1 or 2 naked body/ies

Place fan at foot of bed, directing airflow evenly along the bed, towards the headboard. Adjust plant sprayer so it just begins to produce some spray - a two to three foot jet is a good start. Lay naked body on bed in path of air stream. Aim sprayer at middle of fan and fire! Say - oooooh ahhhhhh!

You should focus on your sex life.

Actually, I was seeking a distraction from it!!!

It is in the lower 90's here - and it is so humid my dogs won't even go outside in the morning to "do thier business". I also can't take them ontheir cutomary walks - it's just too darn HOT. So they are being over-active around the house, and driving me nuts. I hope this "heat-wave" is very, very temporary.

I have Central A/C, so it doesn't bother me too much, BUT - I had planned to go to the grocery store yesterday. But I got out of my car and into the heat of the day (I'd just driven my car almost 200 miles to get home from an out of town trip), and I just felt zapped by the heat. I decided to put off grocery-shopping until later today. It's just awful here in Nebraska. I hope it lets up - and soon.

- Susan

I stay inside as much as possible.



Owner59 -> RE: Does anyone else feel like a fried egg? (8/10/2007 11:18:30 AM)

When I leave for work(I work outside a lot) on a hot day,I bring a cooler full of ice and frozen water bottles.Every half hour or so I`ll soak my head , face and arms w/ the ice water.If I can,I`ll run the hose over my upper body every hour,to take the edge off.

Ya`ll gotta stay indoors w/ the A/C on,if you can.

Good luck



BUW4you -> RE: Does anyone else feel like a fried egg? (8/10/2007 11:25:39 AM)

I am inside most of the day here in Florida, but we dont have central A/C....just a little window unit.....it sucks...

Sir is outside in the heat all day everyday...and yesterday it was well over 100 for the better portion of the day. I dont know how he handles it....Ive been getting up at 5am just to feed the cattle so I dont have to go out there after the sun is up.



sexyred1 -> RE: Does anyone else feel like a fried egg? (8/10/2007 2:34:38 PM)

Ugh, I thought NYC/NNJ was hot, but I had to go to Florida for business on Sunday and got back yesterday. It was so brutal, that being outside for a few minutes was an effort.

I love winter!!! You can always warm up but cooling down is a bitch.



Arpig -> RE: Does anyone else feel like a fried egg? (8/10/2007 4:56:21 PM)

having grown up in the tropics, and living in the Great White North...it doesn't really bother me that much..drink lots of water and you will get by
