As it is again a save electricity day, we are pretty warm too in the house, but can't feel bad knowing how the poor guys are suffering outside. This patio cover sure was built with sweat!!!
Praying for an end to this and some cooling rain.
Hang in there!
Well from watching the construction workers daily, there are several tricks. Wear long sleeves. I always thought that was bogus. How could wearing long sleeves make you cooler? But you get your skin out of the sun, and it has to be loose fitting. Also they wear a bandana or cloth that's wet under their hat or helmet. That's the big help there. Bigger the brim of the hat the better! Now there are these cooling cloths that when wet feel up to 20 degrees cooler than the air. I have seen them at Home Depot and Lowes. May be sold out by now since it's almost fall, but check your store if you plan on doing gardening or whatever if it's still hot.

Now you mention it, those are the things these guys do..the long sleeves I too wondered about! As well as the bandana, one of my guys had one of those solar powered wide brimmed hats with a fan in it. LOL! Thanks for the info on the cooling cloths, I had never heard of them.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the last day I feel so bad and guilty about them, as the job should be finished, Yeh! But I just saw that the electric company have asked for less power usage tomorrow too, three days on a row so far! Ah well, we are getting kinda used to it by now.

I guess Buffalo isn't Long Island! 90 deg in the shade at 6 am is hard to take though in NC. Our dogs do not adapt well to hot and humid weather and the panting is very disturbing and sad. Again Good Luck and perhaps arm yourself with the good advice of Capt. Noonie, LOL!

My oh my, what a frustrating story!!! If it weren't true it would be hilarious. You sure have been through the electronic mill and still have more to go through?!
I admire your courage and perseverance and you deserve to come out on top.
Like you I am totally confounded with all the modern electronic claptrap and must admit I usually get the help of the Geek Squad after days of trying to get things working. I badly need a new printer but so dread the pain I will have to go through to get it working. I have an IMac Mountain Lion and my hub has an older IMac with some other wild animal operating system. It seems that the modern printers may work with my Mac but not his??? What to do? Probably he will have to get a new Mac, what a pain all this is. As soon as you buy a computer it seems to be out of date already. At the moment we can print wirelessly from the two IMacs but not from the IPads . Technology does suck sometimes. Sigh!!
Best of luck with your system, hang in there you are almost home, ha, ha.
Pleasant dreams :-))

Oh, Dottie, you are right in the same situation I was before I had to get wifi - putting off the inevitable just dreading the pain to come as we've come to well learn almost NOTHING electronic EVER works right with everything from the start. And I'd rather be beaten than sit on the phone for hours dealing with Customer Service, Account Specialists and IT and other techs. Just beat me but don't make me talk to THEM!

To make matters worse, my costly Mitsubishi TV with 18 speakers and 42 thousand color/tint adjustments right down to how much each of the colors of red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan you want in each of the five colors adjustments it has in 5 different theater combination of settings of color, contrast, resolutions, etc. - that TV - has "handshake" issues with the blu-ray player! What does that mean? My TV doesn't always recognize the blu-ray is actually plugged into it when it's turned on! UGHHHHH!!!

Woe is me - and you - and all of us either burning to death or freezing our tucuses off this summer or dealing with "new" electronic products of any kind!

We had the cwazziest weather! The day b4 yesterday, it was 104 degrees, but we also had a thunder storm! I loved it, but the doggies were scared, the windows were rattling & so much wind & rain, looked like a mini hurricane. It was hot & wet outside, such a weird monsoon-y weather.

Attachment 401641 Lookie, it's raining!

Then, yesterday & today is SO freaking nice! Thank you Mother Nature for cooling us down.:D

capt_noonie 09-19-2014 11:22 AM
Love your floors! The doggies look so cute. We were supposed to get rain but nothing! :(

yorkiefan_ 09-19-2014 11:50 AM
93 yesterday, and today's high is supposed to be 88. I know it sounds crazy, but 93 feels so good after a month of 100-102.

yorkiefan_ 09-23-2014 12:58 PM
87 today with dewpoints in the mid 50s. It just feels incredible outside today here in South Texas!

It's a weird feeling to go outside and WANT to sit in the Sun. lol

yorkietalkjilly 09-24-2014 08:39 AM
We're going up to 85 today, 90 degrees in a few days but for the time being the humidity has given us a break. It was 60 degrees this morning, cool and wonderful outside, but now the A-C just came on as the day begins heating up. :(

Hellooooouuu there, Mother Nature - just a reminder - yesterday was the first day of Autumn!

Lol yeah it was 77 today you would have thought we were in Miami. Thankfully when we move down south we will pretty much always be inside

Oh trust me we stayed in the house pretty much the whole trip. I wouldnt make her go out because I'm sure her paws would've been hurt. we went to south of the border and myrtle Beach and that was before it got ridiculous with the heat lol

100 today in Vegas! But this weekend will be cooling down. Haven't really needed to use the AC in quite a few weeks though.

You're lucky that you don't need A-C even when it's warm! Surely though you will need it today, won't you? 100 even in a dry climate seems very hot. Ugh-eeee! I mean October is a day and a half away and here we are talking 90's and 100!!! :(

We're going to be in the low 90's until Friday when we are going to cool down to 82-ish by the end of the week. I'm so tired of hearing the A-C run, always being mostly too cold in the house and always feeling a fan's breeze in my face. So ready to open up the windows and feel autumn cool air - but I haven't a clue when that may be. Sigh.

mimimomo 09-29-2014 02:04 PM
It's been a roller coaster of a weather here, 100+ & cooling down to low 70's for a few short days...today is heating back up again, in the 80's & it's supposed to get hotter as the week goes by. TG Oct is around the corner...but it's probably still going to stay relatively warm for another month, for us.
Last winter was so unseasonably warm in LA, wore capris, a t-shirt & flip flops in Dec, I'm ready to bundle up!

I can take the dry 100+ degree heat, it probably feels good inside the house w/just the fan on...this humid sticky yucky 100+ is so unbearable.

I am sooo tired of the heat in So Cal. We have another 100+ heat wave on its way now and I am not looking forward to it. Makes me want to move so bad.

Then you know at least one big state to not move to. It's 6:00 pm and 86 degrees still and I'll bet by 9:00 pm, it will still be 82!

But does Texas at least have seasons? Texas is actually one of our options if we were to ever really move. lol The company my dh works for has offered him to move to their Texas location. I keep pushing him but he doesn't want to go. darn it.

We don't have seasons. It is summer 75% of the year here! I am so over it.

Oh, yes, we have autumn and some true winter weather for a couple to three days at a time sometimes - even snow - and a spring - then from late May/early June through August it is really hot outside most days before it backs off. Summer nights may or may not cool off enough to enjoy a picnic or baseball game or outing unless it's really humid. You never really feel it too much as every car, home and building have A-C so you usually just go from one air-conditioned place to another during the summer and save most of your outdoor activities, such as fairs and picnics, until the weather cools down.

I bet it's a lot cheaper than here too! I wish he'd consider it but I think he thinks Ca is where its at or something. LOL Me... I am just tired of it and ready for a change! Oh well maybe one day.

It is cheaper to live in Texas than Ca and no state taxes. Once we get through summer, the rest of the year is great and food, hotel rates, real estate, energy are all pretty reasonable here compared to other large states. I guess the best part about Texas are the people - we don't mind smiling a lot and saying "please" and "thank you", "have a great day" and many of the men still use the term, "ma'am" when talking to a lady.

There *is* something about southern charm, that just so, well, charming! The midwest is similar in that people can be so friendly and open.

As far as weather/heat right now here in the southwest...sigh...STILL in the 90s over here! But hey, it's a dry heat :rolleyes:.

We are lucky that our house is well insulated and the way it faces doesn't get the hot sun. So no we didn't have to turn on the ac. But Sat night we went out and I needed a light jacket! It was windy too. Last few days had been really nice out. Only in the 80s and this weekend should be low 90s. I'm kinda hoping for one last heat wave so we can get the most out of our water park pass.

And to top it off, there is snow on Mt Charleston!

The midwest is so friendly and open - good people up there and gentle with travelers - haha.

I hear you, Ann. We're going up to 93 AGAIN today but Thursday afternoon - TADA! - we get a "break" and the temp drops into the lower 80's for a couple of days! Then back up to the mid and upper 80's! Not much but I'll take it. I'm sick of all heat - wet or dry or whatever - haha. Just so want some cool air soooo bad!

Argghhhh, I hate it so much when the dewpoints are in the mid 70s like today. My face feels like I just rubbed a stick of warm butter in my beard the second I go outside. Thankfully we get that same cold front tomorrow night.

TiffanyandTeddy 10-03-2014 08:19 AM
I cannot wait to finally get some cool breezy weather! Right now the sun is blazing outside and I'm sure soon it will start pouring. Got to love this crazy bipolar weather in Florida.
