"We are having a heat wave, a tropical un not tropical heat wave?"

Yes, but the other thing they should check for your room mate is a UTI. When I worked in nursing homes, that was one of the first things that they checked for when residents got confused or acted out a lot. Kashmere's Mycat, can you get to the library or a senior center for the hottest parts of the day. It is so much better than sitting in a hot house.

Aww Hatley, that poor lady, and this all happened in such a short time. I hope they are checking her out to see exactly what the problem is, and I hope they also check what GG was saying about a UTI. Maybe it's not as bad as everyone thinks. Hi GG, I don't have a car anymore, had to sell it to pay some bills and it needed too much work. The library I can walk too but not on a hot day unfortunately, and any senior centers are way too far. I just sort of sit with my feet in some cold water like I'm sitting by a pool, HAHA! I'm so goofy sometimes, but it does cool me off. Thanks for the advice!

it was humid but not too bad this morning at 6:30 a.m. I know, however, that sun will be up and it will be HOT by 10

five months later Dec 10 we had our Christmas part todya with a lot of yummy food and live music. they had it earlyfas so many here have family they can to to for christmas day. my only family is my son and he is in an apartment s ponsored y the gov with three other men all looking for work, they have to have an address inorder to apply fo jobs.

hi Eicbxn oh my I have to go out in the morning for an eye exam 'but I will at least leave off my sweater. we had 75 degree weather'just two days ago. lol.It is supposed to stay around 90 all week but hope the forecaster is wrong this time. lol.

Hi Hatley, thanks for that.. I've been on and off, but I'll never leave this site.. love it here too much to leave.. You are so right..what were those idiots thinking, setting fires and all that.. hopefully there aren't anymore of such goons doing those irresponsible things. No rain in months?? No wonder it's so hot... I really hope rain comes near your area soon enough. Just hang on.. and luckily the whole building has the air-conditioner on. Take care Hatley, and nice avatar you've got there..

hized I am back and its Dec and cooler too tryhing to resolve all my unresolved discussions we made it this past fall without those horrid wild fires now its soon o be Christmas.

hi zed had not seen you in a while glad you are still around. its a bitcooler tonight then too they turned the air conditoner on in the whole building so its getting comfy now. we have had no rain in months which 'worries me as hot dry summers mean real fire danger and here in Southern Ca we have idiots who love to set fires for whatever reason, sick fools I call them, and then people do lose their homes in these fire storms. I hate that.

hi rawbill Philippines or down under? its mid summer here and destined to get hot all week from the weather report I got. So the Philippines and Australia now get cooler ,interesting. I learn so much here at mylot every day and one is never to old to learn new things either.

Here in Australia it is the exact middle of Winter today. The Winter Solstice was last month though so the days are getting longer, but the sun is still going down really early bringing the cool night air with it.

Yeah, you are right Alice, I experienced this for the first time in years while recently on Norfolk Island on a bus tour. It was a very strong cool breeze outside, so rugging up was essential, but as it was also a sunny day, the heat coming through the bus windows was too much for the clothing I was wearing!

hi snow I know what you mean heat like this is notgood for breathing problems at all, wow. for now I think I will leave the fan on although the air conditioning is on too,.I have allergies that make it hard for'mne to sleep as my nose clogs up so badly so have antihistamines again so should be able to sleep tonight in spite of my fussy roomie. hop;e you feel better soon.hugs from hatley.

Hatley, I hope and pray that you had a good night sleep. I am hanging in there trying to so cool as much as I can. Thanks for responding back to me and I enjoyed our little chat. Snow

hi snow here I am trying to resolve my discussions five months latged and I was shocked to see I had not commented on all of my responses. its sure not hot here now. it was cool and foggy this morning.

qianyun6 well it could be worse, she is warm today thank goodness for that. I will have to live with it until we see whats going to happen.

me too I just cannot take the heat anymore and I have a roomate who thinks she is cold. I think the woman is slowly losing whatever mind 'she had., she is losing her memory and is acting really weird too. Iam stuck with her as I do not want to move and have to have my computer reconnected with the cable again with all the cost.,let them move her instead. I am really fed up with her tonight; I have beent over double to help her today and get no thanks at all from her.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you live with such a roommate. Since she is in an unusual condition, I think you'd better not care her impoliteness, and ask the administrators to move her out as soon as possible.

Oh Hatley yes she threw her hat up in the air and jumped at the same time we have pics of it but not on my camera, will share as soon as I can, I can't believe the emotions I am feeling right now :) There was alady there today bless who was a mature student and probably older than my own mum and I'm late forties and I gave her a hug and said well done which is exactly what I would have done with you :) had I known you back then. Congratulations, belated I know but deserved. Huggles. Ellie :D

thanks Ellie I appreciate that. I bet you did have all sorts of emotions seeing your daughter graduate. I had a lot of fun though it was hard going back in middle age but I did well even though I flunked my latin grammar test so had a b - instead of A rating but I did graduate so that was my accomplishment after all. lol.

jo ellie so today is the big day. congratulations to her and to you, the proud mother.Yes it was nice for a graduation to be su nny. I remember when I graduated at 56 in June many years back it was held outside and we all tossed our caps in the air. The youngsters got 'a large charge out of a middle aged lady graduating with them, and it was sort of nice that they all really accepted me too. I am glad it did not storm on the graduatin services.Yes I did that lastnight I kicked off most of my covers. hugs from hatley.

hi dawn I think its hit me because the last few days were really so nice now its muggy and hot, well I did know it was coming as it is July.Odd thing is my poor roomie is still cold, I think she has congestive heart failure as my hubbie used to be that way too even on the hottest days. she is also loosing her memory which is so sad, shes three years y ounger than myself too,I have to take her down to meals or she gets lost. sad.

That is sad. Part of life, but sad...

Hi dawnald yep oh lord I sure don't want it to happen to me, but hope I am safe as I try to do a lot of things to keep my brain and memory sharp and alive. hopefully.

hi cream yes they finally turned the central air conditioning on today, before it was only on at night. but the forecast was for 101 today so gues sthey were going to be prepared. I am comfortable now but sure am not going out anywhere today.Yes the clouds were all gone and just a hot looking blue sky here. I hope your daughter's orientation for her new school went well . good luck God bless

hi cream I am glad it went well for your daughter.It is lovely to see children who love to go to school, I wonder what happens to some who become so disenchanted later with school. I am not going to go outside tonight. The air in here feels damp too. I hate that feeling too.

Yes, it went well for us today. It was not a long Orientation. I was very excited because I will be happy to see her go to school. She is so crazy about school! I know that she will love it when she goes. Even when the sun has went down, it leaves the weather feeling hot and muggy. I dislike that feeling. I am sure that you do too.

hiceltic i finally got back to find I had not commented on any of these and I am so ashamed as usually I am right on things. i do not dod great with heat either, the nights have been pretty coldm b ut wih cool yuou can always put on layers. lol.I drink a lot of water as I am on lasix a water pill. lol lol

I think this was a long time ago. Drinking alot of water is very important. I do try to wear layers and so I can take off what I need to when I need to. A water pill, huh?

hi fwidman I was thinking of you today while I was sweating, you are in the high desert here in Ca if I remember? We used to live'in temp;e arizona and you just expected it to be hot all he time but it was a lot drier than what we get here. I remember it going up to 120 a lot of days too. We had some sort of water cooler things on our roofs but they really did work. yes I am in here with the air conditioner on and really if I couls just lose that dratted 60 pounds bet I would not feel the heat near as much. yes you are right it is summer and July too.We are spoiled here as we get lots of cooler air coming off the pacific too but when the moisture hits the heat here then it gets muggy.

hi fwidman I wish sweating would also get rid of my blubber.oh well to cut down on the calories;lol

It's been a little humid up here the past few days. You're welcome to take that moisture back LOL As for the weight, I don't know about that, hatley. I'm as skinny as a stick and I'd swear I'm sweating and suffering more than Shelly and the daughter are

Hi If I hopt the rains will cool the heat a bit. I take it you are in India.I am here in Calif and another hot day but this is summer and the kind of weather we usually get in July We were lucky the first few days were lovely balmy weather around 75 degrees Fahrenheit Yes its easy to get a summer cold in this hot muggy weather..

hi et28LV we use faranheit here not celsius as I am in the US and in California and its 101 degrees faranaheit outside so am in my room, air conditioning on and a fan blowing on me.If I mentioned 75 it was to t ell about the cooler weather two days ago. keep cool where are you',in desert ara. I will check your profile as I thought you may be in Arabia? I was just thinking 75 degrees celsius would be really high? I dont know how to convert anymore.Keep cool.

Hi Hatley! I thought that you say Fahrenheit not Celsius, because It would not be real in Celsius. Lol No I am not for Arabia. We have +/- 35 degrees. I mean 75 you had. I would live in home in this sunny days. Keep coll you too, Have a nice day!

hi et yes we are on fahrenheit here I imaginein celsius that would look really weird. am now trying to resolve all my unresolved discussions and am really late doing it.

hi yspmyl yes I have read that too.its suppose to be ninety all week here in california. its so dry I am worried about this fall and wild fires'again. they have caused so much damages the last few years with'hundreds of people losing their homes to the fires. what is so'maddening is that these are arson, set fires. Who is so sick' that they enjoy seeing people's homes burning up?

Hi Hatley, Yeah, I have saw the news about the wild fire in California. The fire was so scary and many houses were burnt. When the temperature is high, there are possibility that it will catch fire by itself. This is the natural disaster. But if it is set by someone, that fellow should be curse to hell!!!

hi sid you know now that I think of it my husband had a heat stroke about two weeks before he had the first of three heart attacks, the last one killed him. So I think now that inspite of his heavy smoking that day when he got so hot and nobody helped him til he got home and I started first's aid on him with advice over the phone from his doctor. he 'was cold to touch and perspiring and really ill. I think that heat weakened his heart a lot. He had been in the library and the clerk there refused to send for the paramedics, I was just furious as he got on the bus and was so ill its a wonder he made it to our house. I told him you should have insisted they let you use the phone and call the paramedics yourself.well that's all under the bridge now. the staff here have the central air conditioner going full tilt so we are pretty comfortable in here today.

hi steekala I am fine but I had my eyes dilated for an eye exam so my vision is fuzzy. My roommate is still not remembering our room which makes it interesting indeed. todays going to be at least 90 again and its really hot . the air conditioning is on and the fan too.Southern California is indeed starting summer finally.

hi dragon54u glad I do not have to pay Gold Crest's electric bill as they have the central air conditioning on now thank God. its ninety out I am sure but I am staying cool in front of the fan. You know the last apt. we lived in before we were evicted had a zillion trees all around the various apts. and it was always cooler inside out complex than out on the street. too the gardener also ran the sprinkler system for the lawns for a hour or so in the hot part of the day.

we lived in Ariz too for a few years and right hot is hot, 120 was quite common, and we all stayed indoors with the coolers on. Its staying around ninety here today, itwas about 80 at 7;30 tis morning so its much hotter now. but its c ool in our room at least. the odd thing abour arizona was the nights out on the desert were cool but in town the buildings gave off heat that they had absorbed seemed so strange to me. its muggy here today,.

hi magichands yes a lot of times the weather forecasters do not predict the weather as acuratedly as either you or one co uld do It is hot again probably just ninety I do not think it will go to 100, but it worries me being so dry as dry falls spell wild fire trouble again. we have had it bad the last two falls as it was so dry.some fires started from sparks from a cry, one from lighting strikes but most were set,stupid moronic arsonists. grrrrrrrrr

hi skylark here in Ca its about ninety degrees and no breeze at all but the air conditioning is going full tilt and I am feeling really comfortable again. no heavy sweating like yesterday. I am glad of that. I am staying inside the rest of the day. lol.
