Sounds like iced tea is in order.

i hate it.

heeeelp me, i'm mellllting. is right. kids and hubby get tired of the wicked witch of the ? impression.

Some love the heat, others the cold. Some like consistency, other like four seasons.

In the end MotherNature will have her way with us.

Edited to add: in case it's not obvious, I don't really think you're a whimp, just being a smartass, not intending a name-call by any stretch.

too long did me in.

i was born in az and grew up in calif, too.

whimp i am

i dream of portand and Wa. sigh....

yup. big change for you.

when i lived in az, we had to carry sweaters around during summer. all the businesses had air up too high, lol

acclimate as I do outdoor video. And being essentially homeless, I won't be having AC anytime soon. But for video purposes the climate here will be better for year round work, I hope.

I have experienced the sweater issue when I lived in TX and southwest ID. Hence I knew I could handle AZ. It's just like Idaho's deep summer, just longer and a tad more intense. So far so good, no worries, better the heat for me than the cold wet chill of northwest OR

my hating the heat, but then you are "essentially homeless". take care of you.....

I met a trucker who is never home along the way, so I have a safe place to park and electric and water access, and he get's free security, a home cooked meal when he swings thru, some laundry chores, and a clean cool home when he arrives (though I do not utilize those resources when he's not, but turn them on an hour or so before he arrives). I stay in my utility trailer in the yard save for those types of things. Keeps my conscience a little clearer in that I'm not being too much of a mooch, and keeps me motivated to get things going here right quick.

Unfortunately I was on my way when a guy with clear mental issues wouldn't leave my equip alone and broke something. It's been a month of awaiting parts n pieces and figuring what all what actually broken. Unfortunately electronic failures can tend to cascade, and this one did. Then being almost broke made every piece purchase an agonizing decision.

Anyway, have things mostly cleared up and should be back to making a scene of myself by the weekend, and hence making contacts and friends, I hope.

like both are benefiting and not one sided, so seeing no mooch.

a plan that is working for both of you. that is a good thing

if he were home all the time and offered, I'd still have accepted as it is safer than the truck stop or the rest areas, where I've been known to be in OR and NM and CA, where I considered re-starting my biz but found fatal flaws with weather that would cut 5-6 months off my workable year, or in the case of CA, the regs are just too harsh and too spendy as I'm a pro, but not generally considered commercial, except in CA.

I dread summer when we get temps in the 90s. I can't wait for fall. Our temperatures here in North Georgia are going to be in the middle 80s by the end of the week. I am dreading it. I am thankful I don't live in South Florida anymore where the temps were in the 80s and 90s almost all year. At least, in Georgia, we have seasons and sometimes snow in the winter.

that would be the end of my world

But the humidity is not really horrible here in Georgia. People in Georgia complain about the humidity in summer, and I tell them they do not know what humidity is like unless they have lived in Florida.

and i

diiiiie

It's that simple.

small evaporative "coolers" (swamp coolers) and fans can usually make it tolerable until we approach the upper 80s in Colorado. But, that's probably not far away...

I think I will turn central air off (or set as high as possible) and just use a small unit in the bedroom and shut that room off from the rest of the house when it gets too hot...I just can't sleep when it is too hot. Crap, I'd still like to be able to use my little home office/2nd bedroom/workout space, but I can't keep it cool without cranking up the central air....

Damn climate change. I deal with cold so much better than heat. sigh...

i hadnt even thought of it. but the air doesnt get that far back. in a couple days it will drop back into 80's and hopefully lower. i try to wait until i absolutely have to, to put on the air for the first time in season. once it is on, it stays on.

we have been in a la nina. but it is suppose to break up RIGHT NOW. we wont be in a la nina or an el nina.... but will be la normal.

I live in a mobile home and have one AC in my bedroom and one in my living room. Actually, that's all I need. I have had my living room air off and on during the day for the past month. When it hits the high 70s or low 80s, I start to sweat. I hate sweating. And then at night, it drops to the 40s and I have to turn on the heater then.

I start to sweat. I hate sweating. me, too. hate it.

we keep windows open at night when it drops. i just add a third blankie, lol

already? I still have all my windows open...

eta: if it's as bad as last summer, we're seriously considering moving in 2013.

i was so dsgusted with the weather, i started googlin different locations in co, wy, or, wa and mo. looking at houses and towns. i found a lot of wonderful places to live.

we are waiting for our last to get out of highschool, then we are outta here.

As they often say in these parts if you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a while.

until summer and it is just all hot

we've been in the 80s for at least the past couple days and i feel like i'm melting. anything much about 75 is too hot for me.

In the German Rheinland, except for a week in March it hasn't been over 20°, which is 68°F, all year.

[IMG][/IMG]

as i said in a post above. last summer i obsessed for three days googlin where i would prefer to live. shouldnt be starting so soon, lol. bad you

20 minute taxi ride from the airport in moderate traffic-when we're home, which is never!

It's gonna hit 30F tonight.

My arthritis aches when it's cold and damp. it doesn't bother me when it's hot.

not my personal experience. i was az, calif. i have done heat all my life. it effects me worse, every year.

isnt that something. from what i hear, as we age, we NEED the ideal, 60 degrees, lol.

but, i hear you on the arthritis. i know people that have that problem.

you are in texas. where the hell do you get this weather. cause i am not seeing it.

by the lake. perfectly content.

i want.

that.

was funny once it dawned on me you were in texas. lol

All you need is Julie Andrews singing The Sound of Music!

I saw her do it on a late night talk show quite awhile ago.

I haven't seen that movie for years!

when i was a kid, i really wanted to live there in the little hut. her in the mountains is about all i remember of the movie. but even way back then, i wanted.

in Abilene yesterday!

Thankfully we stayed at 89.0. I am so NOT ready. We had no winter and the bugs are gonna be atrocious!

Gimme a Central Texas winter anytime! I feel your pain sista..

my life for winters..... lol

yes, the bugs. we have been invaded by moths

'Old Testament' moth invasion should end in 2 weeks

“We’re approaching threat level ‘Old Testament’ at the Wood house,” according to a tweet by Amarillo
financial advisor Josh Wood. He also reports “my mid-air moth batting average is approaching .300.”

http://m.amarillo.com/news/local-news/2012-04-24/old-testament-moth-invasion-should-end-2-weeks

in huge force! UGGGG! They love me.

I've also seen two snakes already! The rats were busy this year I guess!

Hate moths... I hope it ends soon!

even less. lmao.

And it's only the end of April. I gotta get outta here.

i hear ya

dyyyyyin. thanksgiving... thanksgiving mind you, like end of november, we went to NO . i have never been to southern texas, so we went down and across. was about San antonio the heat hit us, and the god awful humidity. and from there on, i was buying summer tops for my THANKSGIVING trip.

i did enjoy the riverwalk, though. but, i would never live there.

I loved Miami when I went out there 2 years ago. The weather was just right for me

I didn't know that there were actually seasons and not just summer and spring, I hated the heat and humidity in Miami. I would go from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car to my air-conditioned office. I avoided the heat as much as I could. It did not bother me as a child because I did not have air-conditioning and did not know any better. You can have the heat and humidity. I'd take Alaska cold if I could move there.

I'd much rather it be -10F out than 90F. Our summers are humid and I feel sick if it gets above 80.

i find myself sick the first few days of the heat. i forget to increase my water.

i am with you odin, obviously

Suck my big toe!

Loving it! Except my helmet gets absurdly hot when I'm stuck at red lights.

i see nm. i love nm. use nm to get out of the panhandle.

the thread about hating the heat now has a flaming icon.

thanks for the laugh.

isnt it the way

with the heat.

I love the heat if the humidity is low. And I live nearer the beach so heat just means warm sand....ahhh.


Tikki

though it looks like we are going to start getting some rain, especially seeing that i am in the process of watering whole yard (about an acre), lol. so today has some humidity in the air.

hate the humidity

lived in lajolla. love carmel valley. that was my ideal.

I feel your pain. I wouldn't want to live anywhere hotter than SC.

I used to think it'd be nice to live somewhere colder...but I don't think I'd want to deal with black ice on the roads
either.
