Why not take a cold shower together?
Touche!
that’s what HE said ba dum ba
Just face facts, the weather is all fucked up.
Our winter has been nuts. Snow in places where it shouldn’t be and floods galore. To anyone who claims there is no global warming/extreme weather change I say- what fucking planet are you on?
Mother nature is a bitch but we have have made her more unpredictable then a menopausal crack addict.
We’re having a third heatwave in this month.
Amsterdam has 90 F in the shadow.
WE ARE NOT USED TO HEAT.
Anyone who says: “Finally a summer without rain, huh” will be pushed in one of our smelly canals.
Some paper mentioned that Europeans will travel to Holland for their tan-vacations, instead of going to Spain or Turkey.
Can’t wait.
More people on the beaches, which are already so crowded, you can’t lay on a beach-towel anymore. A handkerchief will have to do.
Do not talk to me.
Do not say “It’ll pass”
I have emphysema.
I wish Ra and/or Apollo a sudden death.
It’s now been 5-6 weeks in the UK with no appreciable rainfall, a few odd showers and an occasional flash flood but all in all nothing to write home about.
It’s around 30 celcius at the moment and we are told it’s gonna get hotter as the week progresses…Oh good fucking news at last :rolleyes:
I’m fucking sick of it, I’ve had the trots for 3 days 'cos I ate some wankyspermbucket shop bought sandwich which was probably swarming with all manner of nasties and shit inducing microbes. I’ve lost my appetite, I can’t sleep at night, I’m hot and sweaty and I’m totally pissed off.
The very next person that tells me to enjoy it while I can is asking for a smack in the kisser:mad:
Then stay out of the shadow. :rolleyes:
Hehehehehe
You want a swim in one of our old mattresses/bikes/cars/condoms/turd filled canals?
Keep them coming. 
It’s FRICKING 95F, now.
A pigeon just passed out.
I’ve put him [her?] with it’s feet in the birdbath. He’s okay.
He didn’t thank me.
Just flew away.
Birdbrain.
30C?
Here in central Spain and in the summer we consider that “quite nice and cool”.
Try 40C in the shadow and you’ll find out why, on the 7th day, God invented siesta and found it so good He devoted His whole day to it.
Was the water boiling?
Unnervingly, it’s been quite mild here in Austin. Close to a hundred, mostly, but it keeps raining. It never does this in July. Rain? July? The two never meet.
If it rains in August I’m going to check and see if Hell’s frozen over too.
I’ve lived without AC in a Texas August, back when I was a college student. I’d rather not do it again. There’s no ‘getting used’ to the stuffiness of a house in that kind of heat. I would take purely cold showers – not a drop of hot water – for ten minutes before going to sleep. The minute the cold water stopped I was sweating again. I’d put a piece of ice on my head and go crawl under the blankets, not drying off from the shower, and try to fall asleep while my body could almost think it was not in an oven.
Who said
Everyone complaints about the weather, but no one does anything about it
?
Twain, Wilde, Shaw?
It *is * unusual is it a fluke or a trend?
Hahahahaha 
Oh man, you are bad.
I’ll tell the pigeon’s father.
Little Plastic Ninja, For the first time all AC’s were sold out.
Here, in freaking Holland.
We used to have little portable stoves, to take with you when you’d go camping.
Can you imagine the poor people sitting in a small tent, surrounded with hot - and therefore - annoying kids, having to cook your dinner on one of these thingies that take hours and hours to warm your food and later, when trying to sleep through mosquito bites and the sweat of your partner, only to discover that: Tomorrow will be another sun-filled day?
Charlie Tan, I don’t know who said it, but I do wish some of our rocket-scientists would do something about it.
People have been to the moon
In a couple of years, there’s no need for a man, to have a baby.
We can see in your genes whether you like Brussel’s sprouts - and why.
So: Why not make some heavy clouds, with rain actually falling out of them?
Sending some to the dryest places on earth [and, at the moment to Holland] would be a great invention.
Probably worth bilbilbillions.
You need a Svea 123. Those things sound like jet engines and heat things very quickly.
It is 2 in the morning here and the temperature is 78F with circa 60% humidity.
This is all new to me.
I just spoke with my twin brother, and he told me he likes it right around 94 degrees or so.
I’m not sure how I came to be related to such a sick, sick man.
Seconded. Apartments without elevators suck monkey balls.
I poultry vet I work for recounted a tale of being called to a chicken house one sultry night in the central valley of California. All the chickens were dropping dead. Why? Because, at 2am in Fresno, it was over 100 degrees F and the poor birds were overheating. Any other state and you really wouldn’t need to run the AC for chickens at night. Freaking California.
Pixienix, you met him when you shared a very small apartment together, many years ago.
Ah yes, it’s all coming back to me. It was his dumb idea to leave, and now he wants to re-create the experience. Well I, for one, don’t want to be hot, sticky and covered in fluids any more!
Not unless you pay me.
The only problem with THAT is, it ISN’T “nice and cool” here. It’s gotten better lately, but a week ago I put a thermometer in my bedroom and when I woke up in the morning it was 95 degrees in my bedroom. In the morning, after the alleged night air and my fan had cooled it down. AND I didn’t get around to putting a thermometer in my BR until long after things had cooled down a bit.
It was 98 degrees here for awhile. A LONG while. I mean, I have lived here all of my life, and it has NEVER been that hot for more than a random day or two. I didn’t sign up for this, you know? I’m a PNW girl, born and bred. I don’t complain about the rain. I figure you can only gripe about the heat or the rain. And I NEVER complain about the rain. I WANT MY RAIN! Oh, and it did finally rain the other night. It was so hot that the only thing it did was make everything steam. What’s up with THAT?
It’s enough to make me wish I wasn’t on vacation. That’s right, I’m on vacation. And I long to be at work, with some lovely air conditioning. (Not enough to actually go there and WORK, you know, but still… )
Yeah, right now it is a comfy 70 degrees outside. But the problem is, it keeps heating up into the 90’s, and then my house heats up so even when it cools down a bit, my house stays too hot long enough that when it heats up again into the 90’s? It just heats the place up again to unbearable temps. I even considered sleeping out on my deck, but sleepy little Bellingham isn’t as crime free as it was in the days when my parents let us kids sleep out in a tent in the backyard all by ourselves. I couldn’t quite convince myself that I’d be safe.
Okay, enough griping. I know that most of you all have it much worse than I have. The Mariners were in Baltimore today (they won, YAY!!!) and sometime during the game they said a thermometer somewhere in the ballpark registered 120 degrees. Sheesh, I’d just die and be done with it. So, sorry. I just don’t DO heat very well, you know?
And…yes, I do blame Global Warming. I don’t even really have a clue what it is, of course, but SOMETHING is going on that I don’t understand. Global Warming is just as good an explanation as anything else.
I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather in Blaine. It did get hot there last week, but not like here. And there’s the beach just a few hundred feet away… The last two summers I had to use fans in my house, but it never really became unbearable. My house stays fairly cool, surrounded as it is by shady trees.
