~HOT HOT HOT~

I listened to the weather last night and they issued a warning

about the heat index for the next few days, that it is going to be

extremely hot and that if you have air conditioning be sure its on,

and if you dont and need a fan to call different places that will help

you. I thought of the ones in here, where mine is supposedly the best

in the building. I bet alot of people have their hall doors open to

suck the cool out of the hall..well if it keeps their electric down.-Hope

Network could afford it..should be included like the heat.. lol.. But I

think of some that dont have any way to stay any sort of cool. With

extreme heat even a fan doesnt work, and HOT is not good...

I was chatting with a friend in Australia and they couldnt afford air,

very few have it there I guess. I told him what they refer to as Air

Cooled. When I first moved to Houston, and had to deal with that sort

of heat I thought I was going to melt. I didnt know what to do. I surely

didnt have air conditioning-was not in the budget. I got ice from the ice

machine, and put into a bowl and put the fan next to it, the air was

cooled. Not a huge area but enough to be around me and that really

helped.. They tried it..and were really amazed that it works, while they

sat at the computer or watched tv it kept the area around them cooler,

if they can keep a small fan in the window to draw the hot out of their

apartment would help as well and CLOSE the blinds.I dont like dark,

but Its better than the heat coming in..

Out in El Centro in that 26 foot trailer (caravan) if we didnt have

that air conditioning unit on the top..we would have cooked like

a turkey in a oven Im sure.. It got horribly hot out there. I walked

down to the little store one day and my foot slipped off the tongs

I was wearing and slightly burnt the side of my foot..now thats

HOT... To even go in the pool was not tolerable as there was just

no air to breathe and the water in the pool was really hot.. later on

in the evening after the sun went down is when most everyone

ventured into the pool, then it was pretty nice.. :-) nothin like a

moonlight swim you know :-)

I think being in a pool as a DAK would be most interesting to see

if I would sink like a bloomin ROCK lol..I have a feeling I might..that

these little legs here just could NOT kick enough to keep this lady

afloat !! GORGEOUS lady lol..:-) correction... I did love to swim tho.

although I have to admit I was leary of very very deep water..I dont

know, I think I was afraid of the fish I knew were in there and I just
didnt wanna be bait for a mad fish lol.. Some get BIG you know lol. I
heard of a girl that had a ankle bracelet on and a Northern Pike
attacked- thought that ankle chain was a lure.. Heck of a big fish to be
able to want a foot as bait I think, gave me pause for a few thoughts,
I NEVER wore any kind of jewelery swimming after that I know :-)

One of my phobias lately is this stump pain is going to come back..its

not gone and every little while it will let me know "HEY, STILL HERE!"

I have NOT forgotten. I sure dont want that back. I know its still there

but I think I found a position that helps and that is to lay REALLY flat,

seems to work, when I feel that ache go down the back side of my right

stump and that burst of pain, I head to lay down for a while. That pain

before was NOT good .. I guess with all these ups and downs of aches

and pains all this Rollin'- this chair is handy lol..no it really isnt..it does

make it alot harder..A achey back- to just stand up and try to walk is

alot different than having to drag yourself in and out of a chair, which

Really adds to it...

Dutch has just jumped up on this keyboard as if trying to tell me .."ok

time for a break" and I have to agree, my butt and hip are telling me

the same thing.. Time to click on Publish, make a side trip via the
kitchen and see what we can find and lay it down. Nitey Nite.. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya, and thanks... :-)

Always, Lois****
