I Think I Grow Less Tolerant To The Heat Every Year

[SPKrazy]

It's just awful. Walk out, get in my car, drive somewhere and it's like a sauna in the car.

Sauna outside.

Want to live where it is cooler. Isn't going to happen anytime soon. :(

1. And I am just the opposite.....

I can find ways to cool down my temperature but
once that cold snaps at me I am hurting bad...

Not to fond of humidity either way...

8. Well I am not fond of cold and humidity either

for different reasons... painful joints

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Weird, I've noticed that as well this year...

And I live in NE, where we are supposed to cherish the summer. But the heat and even more, the humidity, is killing me this year. Completely intolerable, and I don't think I'm perimenopausal yet. I hope! :o

[SPKrazy]

7. While I've Had A Mental Pause

I'm sure that it is just bothering me more

:shrug:

[Elidor]

3. I think that's generally true as we age

I used to exercise in 100 degree heat, but 90 is my absolute limit anymore. Conversely, I can stand the cold much better than I used to. It hardly seems to phase me at all until it hits freezing.

[SPKrazy]

10. I can stand the cold as long as it isn't raining

snow is different, can take that better, but that 32-40 degree rain is awful

Used to run in 90+ but no more

don't run

heat for exercise kills me

rather go to the gym

:D

4. I was watching Harry Potter today, and thought....

"Man, I need to move to England." It was the middle of August, and the kid was shivering outside. Damn. I want THAT!

19. No I Don't Want to Shiver

just be comfortable :D

28. Damn.

I want to live THERE!

[Critters2]

5. Sorry I can't empathize, Southpaw. I just spent several days in WI,

and couldn't WAIT to get back to the heat and humidity. Before AC, Illinoisans would go to Wisconsin for vacations because it was a way to get away from the heat. Now they just do it to annoy the locals. But I NEED the 3 h's--hazy, hot, and humid! I was FREEZING in Wisconsin! I ended up buying socks because my feet were cold and, well, who takes socks with you in July?!!

But down here, I haven't had the AC on yet, except while I was gone over the 4th, so the cats could have windows closed during the fireworks noise. I'm like corn--I need heat and humidity. I love it!

So, I'm sorry you're not happy. But I don't understand it, either.

Critters
a balmy 86 with 60% humidity. Somebody turn on the heat!

[SPKrazy]

6. I was raised in the high desert of Utah

I think my nervous system set its thermostat there

87 49% humidity, better than it has been

8:00 pm

:hi:

[Critters2]

9. Oh, a dry heat. I've never lived any place with a dry heat.

Can't even imagine what that might feel like. Me--sixth generation Illinoisan. My nervous system's thermostat has no dehumidifier attached. Hope you feel better soon! :hi:

[SPKrazy]

11. Dry Heat is great

especially high dry heat

and cool crisp dry nights

:D

[Flaxbee]

32. I think your body does get used to where you grew up...

I was raised near Palm Springs, California, and dry heat - no biggie. I now live in NC, and feel like I'm going to go insane when the humidity rises (fortunately we're in the mountains now, and the really bad days are few and far between).

Could you consider New Mexico? Someday?

[Bullwinkle925]

12. I agree . . .

especially makes for a horrendous bad-hair day!!!!

[SPKrazy]

13. LOL

makes me want to shave my head or close crop it!

[KitchenWitch]

14. I definitely am more heat intolerant.

[SPKrazy]

16. And you've gone from humid heat

to dry heat

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

21. Yes I have

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

22. hmmmm

dry heat take me away

:P


:hug:

[DarkTirade]

15. Global warming?

:shrug:

[SPKrazy]

17. Mebbe explains the heat

but the tolerance???

[SeattleGirl]

18. Same here, bro.

I have a more difficult time dealing with the heat the older I get.

[SPKrazy]

20. I Have A Harder Time Breathing

the heat seems to suck the O2 out of my breaths or something

:shrug:

:hi: Sis

23. Cold is WAY worse. Heat can be nakedness. n/t

[BreweryYardRat]

24. Nakedness? Maybe if you're in your home. Outside, where you need it? Fuhgeddaboutit.

I'm the exact opposite. You can bundle up against cold, but you can't do shit about heat.

[Midlodemocrat]

26. No way. You can always get warm.

Cooled off...not so much.

[raccoon]

25. Me too. I used to think cold was so wonderful...now I just like a

narrow range of about 60-79 degrees F. :-)

[fizzgig]

29. i'm miserable if it's much higher than 80 degrees

but at least it's a dry heat

hey, when are you supposed to be out here?

[begin_within]

30. I don't know how I survived Phoenix summers when I was 17 to 20, except that

I was a lot younger and the heat doesn't seem to bother young people as much. I could not live there now.

31. Move To Alaska!!

From Arkansas to Alaska....:woohoo: :hi:
