3. Bullshit, with the weather forecasters in Boston, it will be 65 and rainy.
:eyes:

Have fun, stay in the shade and drink plenty of fluids (avoid the alcohol, sadly, that will dehydrate you faster).

5. Well, if you're inside...
:beer:

Seriously though, alternate alcohol with water. It will help. After the BBQ, drink water all night. Take it from an expert. :D

Read VelmaD's post below.
Seriously, don't fuck with dehydration. It will knock you on your ass, but quick.

15. Aww...you're such a good boy
We just worry about y'all. It's the same with us on those rare occasions it gets really cold and ices over down here. We know we don't know what the hell we're doing and that our friends from up north have good advice that we should listen to.

6. I was gonna tease y'all about being big whiners...
Edited on Sat Jun-25-05 10:11 AM by VelmaD
but instead I'm just going to pass along advice from someone who has spent their whole life in the blast furnace that is Texas in the summer. Drink more water. Drink at least twice as much water as you do beer. Drink til you think you're gonna have to float home. And then drink some more. However much water you bought for the party...go buy that much more. Stay hydrated. Go inside if you feel the least bit "off".

And for pete's sake use plenty of sunscreen and re-apply repeatedly throughout the day.

Y'all take good care of yourselves and have fun. :)

18. Ah, buncha complainers
Edited on Sat Jun-25-05 10:20 AM by Rabrrrrrr
Er, excuse me - "complainahs".

Back in Wisconsin, 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity was still grilling weather.

:P

I hope everyone is having a great time!!

You need to put up a live webcam, matcom!
