If it is Autumn then why is it almost 90 degree's ?

[Breeze54]

Gheesh! It's hot as hell here and muggy. Blah!

I'm dying from thirst. My throat is parched.

Time for a cold beer or drink !! :P

Here's one for you too! :)



Crap! I'm out of everything except soda! Gotta go to the store asap! :yoiks:

1. that is normal in Texas, so is that where you are?

yeah you could be having a late surge of summer. Have you even had your first really cool day yet? We won't until around Thanksgiving.

[Breeze54]

3. No, I'm in Mass. It should be

in the 60's by now and cool/damp sort of, but it's like August here.

We're having adrought too. There's a ban on watering outside.

I should turn on the AC but the sun is going down and it'll cool off soon.

I'm running a fan instead. Stay cool!! :)

[yellowdogintexas]

12. at least you do have cool nights. We don't get really cool nights here until Nov

I have worn shorts on Thanksgiving Day more than once.

i have my AC on and will until Nov, probably.

2. I actually have the air conditioning on right now. It's 85 degrees here.

Of course, the flip of this is that it could snow any day here, because Colorado's weather is just weird.

It IS a gorgeous day out there, however. I LOVE fall weather like this in Colorado!

[Breeze54]

4. It's pretty here (blue sky) too but the tree's aren't

changing here yet, where I am. They are up in NH & Maine though.

My brother lives in CO and he says the same thing about the snow there.

I think it snowed in Aspen in August last year, if I recall his phone call correctly!

CO. is so beautiful! You're lucky to live there! :)

[JTG of the PRB]

5. I love where I live!

I honestly am starting to think I'll never live anywhere else, and I'm perfectly okay with that.

[Dystopian]

6. Massachusetts is a hell hole now....

I'm a Coke addict, so I'm all set....don't need a beer! This is the strangest weather...and we all know it's going to get worse...
But then....I always complain about the weather....Can't recall having the AC on in October ever, though....

peace~

[Breeze54]

8. I know! I don't remember running the AC this late either. (big pic)

The weather is bizarre and I was looking forward to sweaters and long pants and the colorful
tree's and those vibrant autumn skies that the northeast is known for in the fall.

I want the mugginess to go away...now!! ugh!

30. What a beautiful photo.....

Thank you for sharing...I'm still waiting for those trees....
I love the fall...
And this so strange....I was on the playground with the preschoolers the other day....and looked around...thinking about the vibrant leaves that were supposed to be on the ground...
No piles to rake and jump in....it was eerie....
This isn't right.....

And it's almost midnight now....and still hot....ugh!

peace~

7. We went back to school on Aug. 22 and in all that time,

there was only one day that I didn't come home drenched in perspiration. We are in western PA and the buildings are NOT air-conditioned. It is practically unbearable.

We are supposed to get rain Tues, and then cooler temps, but it is going to be near 90 tomorrow and Monday. I am still wearing sleeveless tops and capris to school everyday. I am giving all of my sweaters to Goodwill. I'll never need them again!

[Breeze54]

10. Don't give the sweaters away just yet!! lmao!

You will need them very soon! :P

I was feeling the same about my winter clothes and the moths are lining up for dinner! :rofl:

It gets really cold in Penn. and MA and it will soon enough. The weather will be changing.

They already had a frost threat in NH and ME last week. ;)

And every morning, my car is covered with more and more thick morning dew.

It's coming! . . . .

[femmocrat]

26. That's not dew, it's the humidity!

LOL

Love those wintry smilies! I saw some pix of early snowfall in Colorado (or Calif?) on the news... oh, so lovely!

:scared:

[Silver Swan]

9. Hot here too.

Yes, here in NE ILlinois, I gave in and turned the AC on. Usually, at this time of year I'm trying to hold out about turning the heat on!

My spouse and I were just sitting around sweating until I did that.

[Breeze54]

11. It's just now starting to cool off here. I can feel

the coolness from my fan and my computer says it's now 76 degree's here. Yeah!.

Where in NO. Illinois are you? I used to live in Kankakee; until they turned the lights out! :P

My sons are stuck at a hotel somewhere near you!! :P For a job, but he didn't say what town,

just that there is nothing there except a hotel. Oh well. Working sucks sometimes! :rofl:

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Critters2]

17. We used to be neighbors. I used to live in Peotone. nt

[Breeze54]

19. Whenever my ex-husband would drive us through "Pee-A-Tone"

he would start whistling! :rofl: He just thought that was a riot!
It was; the first two or three times but not after 100 times!! :rofl:

My sons still live out that way. Say hi to them, if you see them, will you? ;)

[Critters2]

22. I'm not there anymore.

About 100 miles west (I think). I still get there once in a while, so I'll say hi when I'm there.

[Dr. Strange]

13. It's nature's way of punishing you for your egregious misuse of the apostrophe!

"90 degree's?"


No beer for you!

[Breeze54]

14. Oh well, life sucks in the big city.

I never claimed to be perfect nor am I anal-retentive about others missteps with grammar usage either.

:eyes:

1. anal retentive

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=anal+retentive

146 :thumbsup: , 13 :thumbsdown:


A term used to refer to a person who feels a need to be in control of all aspects of his
or her surroundings. Or, in other words, an anal retentive person "can't let go of shit."

See also: One who is excessively insistent upon the smallest detail of something

:toast:

[Dr. Strange]

18. That's it! No soda for you either!

You are hereby sentenced to water and those really dry crackers!

Or, in other words, an anal retentive person "can't let go of shit."

Actually, that's a pretty good definition.


Upon appeal, the court decides: Free beer, on the house (i.e., Skinner's paying!).
:beer:

[Breeze54]

20. Okay then! You're 'forgiven'!

:P

:hug:

Beers are on the house!!! Courtesy of DuStrange!! :yourock: DuStrange!! :loveya:

:rofl:

I'm not drinking beer though.

I drink Bacardi, three ice cubes in a high ball glass and a splash of Diet Coke, caffiene free. :P

[Dr. Strange]

21. Not a big rum fan...

perhaps I'll have a whiskey sour!

:toast:

[Breeze54]

23. Have at it! It's your tab!

:rofl:

Besides, it's Saturday night. Time for a little 'down time'!

"Let the good times roll!" ;)

[mvd]

15. It wasn't quite as bad as they said here in SE PA, but it still

has been annoyingly warm! The 15-day offers hope, with temps in the 60s and 70s starting Tuesday. Maybe even a 50s or two.

[Critters2]

16. High of 92 in North Central Illinois today.

Not terribly muggy, and it does cool off at night. But it's still 85.

And there are still global warming deniers. :eyes:

[BrklynLiberal]

24. ..and they are running a Marathon in Chicago tomorrow!!!! It is going to be terrible.

[Critters2]

25. I know. I feel for those running. nt

27. 87 in Minnesota

And to top it off, the management company for the building I live in inexplicably decided yesterday was the day to turn off the air conditioning and to drain the pool. Apparently they don't watch the weather forecast. Too bad the heat is fully operational. I found that out the hard way. I turned on the air conditioning this morning before I left for the day and returned to a sweat house that only had hot air blowing out of the vents.

[Breeze54]

28. I hate it when the apt management does that!!

I used to live in a large apt. complex and they'd drain the pool as soon as Labor Day was over!
And it was still 100 degrees F!! I hated that! Not that I hung out at the pool much but the kids
did and they were cranky after that, for weeks, until it got colder. I'm surprised that Minnesota
is so hot at this time of year! Usually, my local weather TV is talking about the 'early' snows up
that way by now! I hope you find some relief from the heat! :hug: It's 65F here now, at 9:33 PM est.

29. October my ass. nt
