[eyescene]

Please be careful the next few days!!! I myself got over heated today looking a campers and had a very bad head ache for hours!!!

Drink Drink Drink! and cool off ever 45 minuets or sooner! Think of my hubby tomorrow while he works in this heat!!!

[TRIXR4KIDS]

I hate the humidity

[noway]

You can walk outside right now and start sweating.. its pretty darn muggy

[metal protector]

97* feels like 107:smt103

it is really hot out there

[Guru]

The thermometer in the shade of my garden house says 100*F as we speak.

[Natural Sunshine]

A nice creek or pool would be great to be in if you have to be outside!!!

[jmb]

97* feels like 107:smt103

it is really hot out there

That's what I've got here and I'm in Yankeeland!!!!!!

[Guru]

Had exactly that idea myself. Hot Coffee creek has a bend in it with shallow cool water and little pea gravel, very clean. The beach is sorta white. If I could get my silly "don't like internal combustion engines" dog to ride down with me I would like to take a lounge chair and just got sit in that water.

[Natural Sunshine]

I love to get a chair and sit in the creek....get some friends to go with ya and listen to some music or just nature and relax with a cold beverage!!!!

[Guru]

That sounds too good. Hot afternoon in a lounge chair in a creek with cool water, a little breeze, a magnum of Margaritas.

[Natural Sunshine]

That would be the best!!! Too bad I don't have a creek to go to right now!!!

[Guru]

Shoot, there's creeks all over this area.

[Natural Sunshine]

yeah....but not one that I know to go to that has a good place to be....Plus I prefer to go with friends...I like people...good people anyway!!

[Guru]

Did you just move here or something?

[IGID]

The heat index today was reported as 115. yikes

[mac]

I know I'm the thousandth person to point out the obvious but DAMN it's hot!:smt010

.waterproof..? Y'all heard of that place

[Natural Sunshine]

Did you just move here or something?
Nope...I've been here all my life

[Natural Sunshine]

I just watered my maters after sundown and 'bout had a stoke. De dang heat index was still 103 at 7PM. Jeez!
And it's supposed to stay this way for a few days....Need to stay inside or in water...and drink plenty of fluids... Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so dang humid!!!!

[TRIXR4KIDS]

It's too damn hot... I am so happy I work at night(bet even then you can't go outside with out sweating down) maybe i should just move where there is no humidity at all. Just got back from TN it was so nice up there

[Natural Sunshine]

It is SO hot outside!!!! Drink plenty of fluids everyone!!!

[Fish-Bait]

It's so hot I just lit a fire to cool off...:evil_fire:evil_fire:evil_fire:evil_fire
It's so hot that the river burnt into, again.
Matter of fact some of the fish I just caught had scorched scales on em'...Now that is hot!

[amanda]

Man, why bother wearing clothes? By the time you get from the car to the office, you're just one big-ol'sweat bucket. Arrrgghhh....and make-up? Don't even get me started about what makeup feels like at 100 degree temps. Yuck.

[Natural Sunshine]

Wow....where are you fishing? Jones County?

[Natural Sunshine]

I'm with you amandah...and hair? with this humidity? Just pull it up and go!!!

[Fish-Bait]

I guess we all need to just Rainbow it and walk around 'nekkid...hehehee

[fuzzis]

Bare Minerals. :-D I'm not sweating it off...yet.

I'm with you amandah...and hair? with this humidity? Just pull it up and go!!!

I'm looking a little frizzy today. The diffuser on my blow dryer died so my natural curly/wavy look is a no go. Stuck with frizzy and semi-straight. :(

[Natural Sunshine]

Answer for me is clips or scrunchies or anything to pull my hair up when it's like this....

[amanda]

I've been seriously thinking about cutting mine off again. It's amazing how heavy and hot hair can feel in this kind of weather.

Bare Minerals? Might give it a try. It would have to beat the foundation route.

[amanda]

Ohh....and don't get me started on these flipping panty-hose. They are just torture.

[Natural Sunshine]

Ditch the panty-hose....no need for those!! TOO HOT!!! I don't even own a pair anymore!!!

[fuzzis]

My hair doesn't actually bother me a lot. :smt102

I'm liking Bare Minerals. Need the sugar daddy to reorder it for me cuz I'm almost out. I'd much rather spend his money than mine. :-D

[noway]

could y'all please move to no mans land. This is about a heat wave not panty hose.. :smt105

[IGID]

My hair doesn't actually bother me alot. :-DWouldn't it be cooler if you just shaved your legs?

[Fish-Bait]

There has been a thread hijack. I am reporting hehehehe....

[fuzzis]

Wouldn't it be cooler if you just shaved your legs?

I dunno. How are your legs feelin'? :smt118

[Kitty]

It is SO hot outside!!!! Drink plenty of fluids everyone!!!

And make sure your pets have plenty of water to drink, too.

[Natural Sunshine]

could y'all please move to no mans land. This is about a heat wave not panty hose.. :smt105
If you put on a pair of panty hose in this heat you will understand...It happens to increase the heat of the heatwave!!!

[Fish-Bait]

Women in pantyhose are "cool".

[Natural Sunshine]

Heat index is 105 right now

[Natural Sunshine]

Women in pantyhose are "cool".
I'm not "cool" then FB!! Too hot for that and plus they aren't comfortable!!!

[Hermione]

Friend of mine managed a clothing store in NO. They had a guy at corporate who COULD not grasp that women in NO don't buy pantyhose in the summer and was constantly on her case about their pantyhose volume. She used to buy them herself to make the numbers -- for several years, everytime I looked up she was giving me pantyhose and knee-highs.

Got back from the store and and here to report that the parking lot in front of Corner Market is beginning to melt. Don't go. Eat leftovers.

[Natural Sunshine]

Wow....I'm staying away from shopping today!!

[Fish-Bait]

Fish naked!

[amanda]

I just can't wear heels without hose. :) I'll have to suffer this heat wave with my Leggs.

[Baxter54]

I just can't wear heels without hose. :) I'll have to suffer this heat wave with my Leggs.

Lucky me...I get to wear a suit everyday. As if the shirt and tie didnt keep us warm enough, lets through a jacket on there. Ha!

[Fish-Bait]

I just got through cooking a side of beef out on the sidewalk. It's a little gritty but it's really juicey. It only took an hour.

[Hermione]

I was thinking of what summer must have been like in say, the 1900's before deodorant, air-conditioning, and simple clothing. Imagine how nuns must have suffered, or any women for that matter, in all those skirts. My mom says that even when she was a child people didn't use deodorant, and you would get on the streetcar in the summer and about pass out from the smell of other people.

[fuzzis]

ok...I know this is probably going to be blaspemous and it probably explains why I'm OK with the AC set at 80, but when I went out at lunch, I didn't think it was that bad. In my head, I know it's in the 90s and hotter than hell out there...I just didn't feel it. :smt102 (being serious here)

Seek medical attention now.

[wilebill]

I was driving down Hardy and saw a guy walking on the sidewalk, mopping his brow with a rag. Then suddenly he spontaneously combusted. :evil_fire Poor guy.

[Fish-Bait]

It is so hot that you can make instant sun tea outside. That one got me to laughin. I found these too. They are pretty funny.


How hot is it?
It’s so hot, your electric bill is higher than your house payment. … your washing machine dries and fluffs your clothes. … you can make instant sun tea. … the dog was chasing the cat and they were both walking. … your car overheats just sitting in the garage. … you cancel your Hotmail account because you hate the name. … you need a spatula to remove your clothing. … the best parking space is determined by shade instead of distance. … ice is on the endangered species list. … ducks in the park come in “original recipe” and “extra crispy.” … you’ve mastered the art of driving without touching the steering wheel. … birds are using potholders to pull worms out of the ground. … you’re sweating while you take a cold shower. …the Burger King crew said, “If you want it your way, cook it yourself.”

[Natural Sunshine]

It's time for the creek if your gonna be outside!!!

[Fish-Bait]

It's time for the creek if your gonna be outside!!!

No kiddin'. I really want to go swimmin' bad. My last outdoor experience landed me at the doctor's office though with a knee busted wide open. Can't get in the creek water till it heals up. Big time bummer!:smt022

[Natural Sunshine]

Oh no....that's not good!!! Maybe it will heal up fast so you can get in soon!!! Too hot not to swim!

[Fish-Bait]

Hell it too hot to even fish. Allright, I am lyin'.

[Natural Sunshine]

Just need something COLD to drink....

[wilebill]

It's so hot Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton quit wearing panties.

Oh, wait...

[kevin]

It's freaking burning up!!! I bet Mississippi Power is gonna have a field day.

[Fish-Bait]

Yep, they sure are!:hitit:

[BayStBum]

I went home to let my dog out at lunch today and noticed the house was a little warmer than it should have been. We recently replaced the fan on the condensing unit, so I went to look out the guest room window to make sure it was still working. Much to my surprise, some @#$%head had dismantled the unit and taken the coil. The repair guy says whoever it was probably spent a half hour in broad daylight taking the unit apart. Apparently, copper is quite valuable these days---I just wish I could have bargained with the guy given what the new unit will cost.

So, be thankful for your A/C, and PM me if you see anybody hauling a rolled up coil down the street.:smt022

[eyescene]

OMG, BayStBum what the? Did you report that to the police? Geesh maybe copper is too expense now!

[Guru]

Ohh....and don't get me started on these flipping panty-hose. They are just torture.

* Yeah, what Mander said. Now who in the heck ever invented those things. As far as I can tell they are no fun for anybody.

Maybe the Jones County copper thieves (http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070803/NEWS01/708030302/1002/NEWS17) have made their way further south.

[Maggie-Doodle]

I had a meeting to go to tonight and afterwards I had to go to Walmart on Hwy 49 to pick up a couple of prescriptions...when I left I noticed that the temp gauge in my car said it was 95...I thought that couldn't be right...I called the bank number and they said it was 96! I know it was so hot I couldn't breath very well..that was at about 8:20. :(

[carsalesguy]

i left the mall at 9- and i told satan that it was at least 100, or so it felt like it.

she said it was probably more like 80 or so.

the hell with it- it's hell around here all the time

[Tully Mars]

If it gets much hotter, Al Gore's gonna have to make another movie. :smt118

i told people today not to kick the tires too hard or else they would explode.


can you believe people actually came out to "just walk and look" ?

[firefly]

The high temp may have been 97 at WDAM, but I have a thermometer under my carport that is in the shade & at 3PM this afternoon it read 103!!! That means the heat index was probably 113!!! Than the Lord for central AC! I hate to see my power bill for this month, but oh well, I have to have it or CROAK from the heat(and my little dog, too!):smt118

[queenrey]

this heat is awful. temp's are supposed to get up to over 100 b/t now and next thursday. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! i'm glad i'm off work this weekend. my kids hate it. they don't like staying inside the house. but when it gets hot like this i don't let them go outside. they hate that. they would rather be outside playing and running than sitting inside w/nothing to do

[kevin]

[Guru]

Be careful, my imagination runs faster than a dual core AMD processor.

[Natural Sunshine]

I'm always careful...besides...it's too hot for your imagination to run too fast!!

[Guru]

I'm trying to lean toward safety here but all I can get out of that is visions of a female jogger on a hot afternoon in my mind.

[wilebill]

It's so hot that a judge in N. MS has banned fire and brimstone preaching.

[wilebill]

It's so hot that the "bash the snot out of each other" thread has been closed due to excessive flaming.
