at least insurace pays a good chunmk of a hospital bill
If I could send you guys my rain and cold I would. I’m just south of Snap and it’s cooler and wetter here. And no tornado watches. All it’s done for the last couple of weeks is rain 😕 I really miss the sun

Assuming one has insurance.
I’m with 2Huberts on this one. I went out and did a happy dance in the rain. After 3 months w/out it, the pastures were brown, more brown and OMGosh, dustbowl, sand cloud where they hang out at the water troughs and gates. I’ve been feeding the livestock like it’s still winter time and we all know how cheap everything has become. 😯
I grew up in this state w/out AC and would rather not have it on in the car. When I relocated back down here, I have to admit, it took almost 5 years for me and my sweat glands to reacclimate to the high humidity. I don’t mind sweating, I have to get rid of all that garlic I eat somehow! 8) You have to be real careful what you buy/wear though, certain materials will not let your skin breath properly. Pantyhose in this state is absolute torture.
Unfortunately for me though, I get over ruled when it comes to the AC in the house. I can’t stand it and actually get chilled as it kicks on and blows on me. So I stupidly have to have a blanky to shield myself from the AC as we watch the idiot box.
I’d rather have the windows thrown open and the already strategically placed ceiling fans on at night, but the overlord cannot take the heat nor the humidity. Gee, I wonder why.
I was just yapping with one of my MD friends who was commenting on the high heat there, right after I discussed our lack of rainfall and drought here. My joking response, ‘Wah, wah, try that for 8 months out of the year WITH high humidity.’ He of course laughed. They don’t call this a subtropical state for nothin’ baby!
Though, I will say this, a lot has changed with the weather paterns since I left and then returned. A known flood plain, where I used to swim my horses in the lakes, now has a State road going right through it. Uh, how’d that happen?
During my time away, a water bottling company sucked a large portion of it dry. Niiiiice. Water became like oil here in this state and it is only going to get worse as the water wars continue and the desalianation plants do not get built.
Try living in Tierra Del Fuego. Literal translation is Land of Fire. Now that place gets caliente!
Snapdragon, nice tease. I like winter and snow. Actually, I found I LOVE snow, but you folks have it for way to long.
I feel for you eaglefeather831 Floods are no fun. There is no stopping what you are going through until Mother Nature herself says she is done. We call that Hurricane season over here. 😕

Poor man’s AC!!!
A wet (cold water) over one of those floor fans.
It works really really well, my dad taught me that one… (he now has money that we moved out and HAS AC lucky bum…. think he’d notice if I thefted it?)

Come on over to Seattle! We’re still in November as far as the weather is concerned. Last night we has a snow watch on the mountain passes. The local weather forcasters have started to call this “Juneuary”.
Ugh thank god we got some rain last night to break this heat wave. I had a horrible work week with all the heat and humidity and last night we had a guy commit suicide only for his daughter to find him hours later. I’m no good at consoling people so when the family is begging me to save them even after we pronounce them I don’t know what to say. The girlfriend showed up right as we were leaving and she was hysterical. We ended up taking her to the hospital and the whole way she just kept asking me why. What the heck and I supposed to say to her? After we cleared that call I had another suicide attempt that I had to take to the hospital. I don’t know what has gotten into people last night, maybe it was the heat. I’m just glad its over and I can vedge in the cooler air for 4 days.
Got a phone call from my hubby (he’s in Idaho working and the boys and I are still in Utah…) He just had to let us know that it’s snowing at home…. Snow in June?!?!?!? I’ll have Roddy box some up and send it on to anyone who wants it. I’m ready for a little warm…

It may be cold outside but in the office I have three air conditioners running already. Damn servers. 😯
I’m with you TDM! I am so sick of cold and wind! It’s June and we still haven’t had a single summery day…where is my summer??
Today it rained and the winds are blowing freezing cold air at us, we actually had to light a fire.
Ridiculous! Those of you with some heat, send it here, I could use some!

I open my front door and its like an oven out there… Hot! 101 was the high today with a nice HOT wind behind it. I am so sick of the wind.
Correction… 102 the high for today… and yes, it can and has got hotter.

We had snow Monday night, too. No summer here either. Temps in the mid to high 50’s or low 60’s.

you can walk outside and get a nose bleed… Nice and dry. Unless it is a day after a nice rain or we actually get humidity from the gulf… but most of the time it is a dry heat. Hair drier heat! lol
