its 38 C over here with the humidex, 28 without. I can barely move around the house. I don't mind dry heat, but I live a few kilometers from Lake Ontario, so its always humid. All the windows are open, its not helping. Instead of just sweating it out and be done with it, its always just hot enough to get you mildly sweaty, and showers ain't helping. Wake up sweaty, go to bed sweaty, and night is just marginally colder than the day, but not enough,

So, I've set myself up on the balcony, where its tolerable at least (nice and windy) with a drink and a book, though I'm wondering if I can keep it up for 2 months.

And keep in mind, the is in CANADA, the FROZEN NORTH!

anyone else feelin' the burn?

[Stunaep]

so, tell me again, why going to the beach to meet/drool at bikinied chicks is not an option?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

It's getting unbearable here in Blighty, but that's probably because I'm always overdressed...

[Rictor]

there is no beach. the waters of Lake Ontario are a) polluted and b) cold. No one even thinks of going in, hence no beach. The closest thing there is is Wasaga Beach, which is an hours drive away, and even that is cold, filthy and crawling with people (cause its the only beach around). I went there a few times, and reffering to it as a beach requires a relaxed attitude towards the English language.

but the good news is, the towel I'm using to cool myself with has somehow taken on a nice, musky smell, which is actually quite pleasant. Its smells like perfume. Mmmmm.

[diamondgeezer]

Overdressed? You keep telling me you wear nothing but a bowler hat and neck tie

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Exactly

[Stunaep]

He's right you know. Drop the hat.

[01010]

I think the tie needs to go to. Go naked, heat like this is the reason we don't have fur anymore.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

But I'm a danger to shipping

[Rictor]

looks like my family has taken up buying bottled water again, because you can keep it cool in the fridge, which I keep insisting is not only stupid, its damn costly too.

So, I'm currently drinking, and I kid you not, "Fred's Performance Oxygenated Spring Water". Bottled with 100% pure oxygen.

Wow, 100% pure oxygen. Truly, it is the drink of the gods.

Here is the nutritional information printed on the side of the bottle:

Per 250 mL
Calories--0
Fat--0
Carbohydrates--0
Protein--0

I didn't think anything could be worse than having nutritional information on a bottle of water, but these have just proven me wrong.

In addition, I am having to towel down my cats every few hours with a wet towel, cause I don't think they're much liking the heat. Imagine having a thick coat of fur in this heat....

Yes, I'm complaining too much. But then again, its too hot, so I think I'm entitled to a larger than usual amount of *****ing. Yarghhhh!

You don't have a leather chair, do you?
That'd be hell in such heat.

[diamondgeezer]

How long 'till the ****er's supposed to get colder? I personally would rather be wrapped up against the cold then sweltering in the heat

I have a leather chair. I stick to it

[Petrarch of the VBB]

It occurs to me that it would make sense to hibernate during the summer.
I may try it next year.

Its leather (and not the good, classy kind. Its an old chair, which is the kind you might find in a distinguised library 100 years ago. Except that it doesn't lean back, its a straight back chair) but I don't stick cause I wearing clothes. I'm the only person in the household who has not taken up stripping to bare essentilals. Tshirt and shorts, which I don't think is all that overdressed.

Humanity is STUPID!

We're gonna kill(fry) ourselves, but not before we kill all other living things on this planet and polute the last drop/lump/kubic meter  of water/earth/air....

Good thing I live by the sea, but I don't think there will be anything left (the tourists are swarming in HUGE numbers, sea is getting dirtier everay year...)
I see no hope...

[Rictor]

Ti si u Hrvatskoj, tacno?

translation: you live in Croatia, right?

Dude, FFS, the planet's temperature goes up and down like a yo-yo. It's no big deal. The dino's survived all sorts of major climate changes. Global warming is not something we need to beat ourselves up over

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Yeah, we have S&M for that

[TrashMan]

Mislin da me odala lokacija Rictore! Da...

Tell it to the dinos...

In the last 20 years there has been a major increase in hurricanes, tornados, floods and droughts all over the world, and that my friend is just the beginning...

And you're telling me NOT to be worried!?
