I have to go pick up my GF from work in a little while. I am currently trying to beat the heat as bewst as possible. I juts took a cool shower, and am sitting in only my boxers in front of my PC with a window fan and a smaller fan going. But now Ih ave to go outside…where it is hot…and humid…and I need to put on MORE clothes to do so, this makes no sense. :mad: Argh…is it so much to ask for a constant, 65 degree climate with some breeze and little humidity? I guess so… ---

65 degrees? What are you, a cactus? Nice, constant 40 degrees during the day, 15 at night. Now that’s good livin’. [sub]And none of this Communist ‘celsius’ stuff, either.[/sub] ---

Well, IMHO it’s sometimes OK to appear in public in boxers. ---

You know what I love about this apartment? Its damn warm otuside, but not too bad at all inside. We face the east, so we don’t get that insane blasting heat during the day, and the apartment stays relatively cool. Its humid, but still comfortable. We don’t even open the windows, because that just makes it warmer! Of course, I do have to leave and go outside a bit later, but maybe it will have cooled down a little :fingers corssed: ---

And the bedroom window is OPEN during the winter. How else can you appreciate the fine blankets you have? Pfah. The ice doesn’t freeze on the walls [sub]much[/sub]. ---

Well it’s been 35C/95ish F most of the last couple weeks here, and I like it fine. I even lay out on the hot concrete in the sun, with the cat. (In long sleeves and pants…forbid I ever get a tan…) ---

Thank you, everyone else who appreciates cold. My SO thinks it’s weird that i leave my window open in winter… in Toronto. We have yet to work out what we’re going to do when we get married in December. In winter I sleep with five pillows and four quilts. I think I’m part mole. Oh, it was 35 (commie celcius)(90-ish F) today in Toronto, with a humidex of 38. I spent the day inside, hiding from the heat, except for a brief evening excursion to church. I felt very sorry for the ministers and choir members- at the end of the service, the priest told me his vestments were 70% polyester. Gaahh. I’m moving someplace colder than Canada. Any suggestions? ---

I’m sorry to hear that **bouv** has bowed to the Religious Right and thinks he has to wear pants outside. Fight the power, man. It’s your God-given right to go pick up your GF in boxers. No, it’s not your right it’s your DUTY! We must fight the oppressive requirements of society! Don’t be cowed by a few people who look at you like you are nuts when you go outside! They’re just uptight, unlike you, who will look like a more muscular Tom Cruise, as you parade down the street in your boxers and little else. While those fascists point and mutter (and possibly call the police), remember that they are probably boiling to death slowly in their clothes while you remain airy and cool. You can do it **bouv**. We’re all behind you (because we’re afraid of what a quick breeze would let us see if we were in front of you). WEEEE SHALLLLLLL OVERCOOOOOMMMEEEEEE! ---

I used to hate summer. Then I lost about 20 pounds and I’m comfortable. I actually enjoy hot weather now. It feels good! I still love cold weather, too… Just throw on some more wool, baby. My favorite cold-weather clothing: wool socks. Ahhhh… ---

I HATE humidity with a passion. I’m a _schvitzer_ from the word go. I can work up a sweat just standing still. And I have to work in long sleeves, long pants and workboots. I’ve drunk a liter and a half of water in one morning and not even had to pee. Give me the late fall/early spring weather any time. ---
