6. You deserve it for that!

It's just too damn hot down here for you to tease her like that. :-)

We only got up to 97, but our heat index was 113. Gotta love that Gulf humidity.

9. my poor cat Clancy

when I got home from work he ran out the door, then ran straight back in. It's too hot for his black ass. :O

[Demobrat]

But then it always is.

[Shanty Oilish]

Of course. :)

[Sirius_on]

5. Heres why

Look at the temp map.

Now look at the Jet stream Map.

Notice that the jet stream is the exact cutoff of the hot air from the cool air.

18. DOES IT MEAN MY POOR ASS FRIES?

I GET IT THEN. :(

8. It's weird

Here in the D.C. area we've had the best summer I can remember for low temperatures. Really it's only gotten up to 90 a couple of times this year. I'm turning off the AC every night since the first of August - and I live in an apartment so there's no cross-ventilation. The nights are going down to 70 - 65 every night. The days are in the mid-eighties - this week I've been on vacation so this is beautiful. I've been out at the pool every day and just loved it. I don't know who got our usual insufferable July-August weather but I feel for you but please don't send it back.

15. Try my favorite mid-summer heatwave buster...

Pop in a movie like "Never Cry Wolf" or "White Fang" or a nature documentary about polar bears. Shiver whenever you hear the wind howling.

Make a mug of cold chocolate milk and stick some mini marshmallows in it. You can pretend that it's so cold that the hot chocolate won't stay hot long enough to melt the marshmallows.

To cool you:

[Skittles]

20. I HATE CHOCOLATE MILK

but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THAT PICTURE! :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. A mug of steaming iced tea will work too...

:-)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. It's only been in the 80s here, BUT

the dewpoints have been in the mid-70s, which means stifling humidity. Swampy air you can't breathe. But I think I'll take that over 108 degrees. Yuck!
