Good Gawd. You're either in the Sacramento area or in Gilroy somewhere. You're from around my neck of the woods right?

Wow! That sounds sweet and inviting but I have nice weather where I live (NC).

I live in Mesa.

Go to a bookstore, the mall...

If you choose to stay at home, chopping on ice really makes a difference.

When is it going to be fixed? This heat can get to you if you are not use to it or prepared.

Table?


No but I did mean... chomp.

It's perfect here, but I do want a good thunderstorm

Bring out the hose and have the sprinkler going and run back and forth through it

get some towels and get them wet and sit in front of a fan,... we went 12 days with no ac... we are in glendale... went and got the standing ac unit at home depot and its good to keep 1 room cool if U put a fan infront of it to move the cool air around... we lived at the mall and movies as well to help break it up

Get out of the house and go to Walmart or something!

Better yet, this is a perfect time to go visit that relative/friend you've been meaning to catch up with....you know, the one with the ice cold AC

long cold shower....if u live by ur self...you don't need clothes

I feel you. Last week, our AC was out for a few days before we could get someone to come fix it. There was a hole in some kind of coil in the unit. We never reached sweltering temps. like triple digits, but it got up in the 90's on some days.

I live here in the Phoenix area.

I went out for lunch yesterday and it dawned on me how hot it was. Why did I decide to get into my extreme hot car and go out for lunch, but it did not phase me, it is just something we do. I called my family while I was driving and my dad mentioned there was one death due to our heat yesterday.

We live in such convenience and as I was returning, I saw an older couple walking into my work place (I work in a hospital) and the elder lady looked pretty heat exhausted, I asked her is she needed some water... and she said no, once she made her way in she would be fine.

I then began thinking... what if this entire cities power went out... (I think the worst a lot) and places were forced to function off generators, what would happen to the many who would be without?

I then had a vision of people swarming to the rivers, lakes and occupying every pool in this city... we live in a city of pools. It was a bizarre vision.

Anyways, some people are more use to the heat here than others, but we live in a comfortable state of A/C. I often think of the many who are not as fortunate... there are many here.

My family still lives with the swamp cooler, we grew up with this kind of cooling... people find ways to survive, it's crazy to think about and see.

to hell with that crazy Phoenix heat sister!!

Another reason I live in the PNW

my friend in iraq says it pushes over 120's ...

That's what I was going to suggest, but figures that someone that was recently in Hell would know what to do.
