Actually the tan-lines would be sort of amusing to look at. Pale rectangular areas, haha.

And Sugarini, how is de-frizzed hair going to make cooler? oO My hair isn't long enough to be frizzy, not anymore, anyhow.

One I learned from a teacher, run your wrists under ice cold water, helps to cool you off.

That also helps to de-frizz your hair.

You get weirder tanlines from wearing roman gladiator-style sandals that criss-cross all the way up your calves. :roll:

Speaking of tanlines. Remember your sunscreen, people!

But I'm being serious. 11-3 is the time you should spend indoors while the sun is at the highest point in the sky. Play a video game or take a nap. Or something. Always wear a hat, blah blah, wear sunblock.

Around 4PM is actually the hottest time of the day, because all the sun's rays are radiating back.[/pointless fact and also because she has no clue what's going on above her post]

They're talking about Igg and her friend dressed up as bunnies, with Igg wearing a huge costume and her friend wearing no top.

Regret asking?

36 degrees is almost freezing...

Oh wait. You're using metric temperature. Invented by the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys. [/Simpsons reference]

Anyway, you guys don't know heat until you've moved to Houston. Even in the morning it's at least 95 degrees, and combine that with humidity that's over 50%, and it's really hot and sweaty here. Which sucks because I have to run 6 miles a day, at least.

Running your wrists under cold water helps keep you cool. It also helps to de-frizz your hair. Very good.

De-frizzing your doesn't keep you cool. Running your wrist under water does. Not the other way around. *picky*

Reference or not, Celsius was proposed by a Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. You guys use German temperature scales. Next you'll be driving German cars.

A fellow Houstonian!! I totally CONCUR!! I feels like 120 degrees (Fahrenheit) out here during the day between 9 AM and 9 PM. And then, you get SUPER STICKY and NASTY due to the horrendous humidity. I just rather stay indoors with my AC while playing games online (or browsing forums). I feel like I should go live in a fridge or something. Are there no ice bars in Houston?

Nahh...I'll stick with Japanese cars (which apparently everyone in my family owns). Although, I've always wanted a Volkswagon beetle.

We just had a huge thunderstorm here in St. Louis, and it's knocked out power to about 500,000 people in the metro area - and the temperature today is supposed to top out at 102-103 Degrees on the We Don't Wear Short Shorts Because We're Real Men Scale.

I've turned my air conditioner to about 85, and it feels like a freezer when I come inside.

Totally agree >_< Houston bites with the humidity added in. It gets hot so early here it is insane. I have to be out there from 8am-11pm and 5pm-8pm for band, totally bites.

Stay inside during the hot parts of the day, drink water but don't drink water with a lot of ice in it if you're really hot. Hats are nice, and so are sunglasses

Eh, we managed to miss most of that storm... my parents were at the Cardinals game though (two hour and twelve minute delay). Here it made some noise, and rained a little. But we sadly are not missing out on the hot weather. >< It's absolutely awful here. It's not rare for it to be 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) at 9 AM.

New York needs a thunderstorm. It's stifling here.
