How Are You Dealing With This Extreme Heat?

@itslikethistome Yes, there are many ways to keep cool in the summer heat. I wish we could save it the heat for winter.

Oooooooh my goodness Hope please try and stay cool! 88 degrees fahrenheit? The heat index in your apartment must be horrific? Feel your tub up with cool water or run the shower water on you Hope. I know one woman who every five minutes opens her freezer door for a minute or two just to get cool air to cool her down.

@1hopefulman Yes 1hopefulman lol! Wouldn't that be nice if we could bottle or bag this extreme heat for the Winter months. Our Gas and electric bills would go down! Someone needs to find a way to recycle the extreme heat I think about the time when harsh extremes in our weather will be a thing of the past. I see in my mind's eye enjoying and looking forward to all 4 seasons one day.

@itslikethistome oh yes, that is right.

Thank you for your kind concern rakski. Yes there are ways to keep cool and as you've stated staying out the sun is a must. If a person has to be out in this extreme heat it would be best to find a shady tree or cooling center to combat this heat. Sunstroke and heatstroke is a major concern of health officials, especially when it comes to our dear elderly ones and young children, they need to stay cool. I've called all our elderly friends to check on them and to see if they need assistance of some sort.

Wow! I'm so sorry to hear that. Has it cooled off a little bit for you now that it's evening and dark outside??

Absolutely, going out by the lake definitely cools you down. It's probably a nice breeze coming off the lake. And plus it's peaceful watching the waves and sunset

Unfortunately I'm in the menopause stage where 90 degrees and me don't get along

@itslikethistome I remember a time when I had to place my butt out of the bed

I agree Krisstina. Another idea would be to get a spray bottle and spray yourself while holding your trusty hand fan. Or you can freeze a few bottles of water and wrap them in a towel then put the wrapped bottles of ice water on different parts of your body. That might help sis. Yes, thank goodness for those Northerly breeze gusts, they do help and make it tolerable for awhile.

@itslikethistome Sounds heavenly! Thanks.
