You poor Texas/Okla folks.

[dixiegrrrrl]

I just saw the forecast for tomorrow:

2. God is punishing them,. eh?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

3. No, not god -

Obama. He controls the weather, you know.

Ask a freeper.................

:hi:

[RoyGBiv]

10. Thpttttttttttttttt

[GOPisEvil]

4. That's a perfectly shitty thing to say.

I spent 28 years in Texas and never voted for any of those assholes. It was still hot as hell. What did I do to deserve that?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

5. Relax, relax -

you can't tell a joke?

Oh, for heaven's sake - get your sense of humor adjusted......................

[GOPisEvil]

6. Well, when it comes to Texas bashing I've heard all I want to hear.

So, I apologize for having a stick up my ass about it, but I've fucking had it with that bullshit.

Usually I'm pretty easy-going...

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. I understand -

I get grouchy when people make lawyer jokes - after 33 years of practicing law, it gets tiresome.

Sorry to have upset you, but I'm weak and easy when it comes to the cheap joke.

You're out of Texas now, I hope?

[GOPisEvil]

8. Oui - in WA State.

Alright - apology accepted.

Nerve soothed.

:)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. And,

you're safe at home.

Good.............. :)

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. I have thought of moving home to Wa. state, in the hottest temps here.

Western side, of course.
But, too deeply rooted here now.
If you are in the cool side of the state, then I am envious-y sorta.
Texas' loss, Evergreen State's gain.
:hi:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

36. I'm glad your nerve is soothed -

but these others posts are funny.

Looks like the Okies are a whole lot tougher than Texans.

Ah, well................

[WolverineDG]

38. I see you weren't brave enough to keep those words up

If anyone's interested, I captured it.

dg

[Tangerine LaBamba]

40. You're right -

not about "bravery." Why pick on those already disabled? It's just not fair.................

[WolverineDG]

51. So you admit you are a coward nt

[redqueen]

39. Okies don't get shit on anywhere near as much as Texans on this board.

They're not tougher... they just don't have to put up with the same tired, worn out routine from those who think such "jokes" get funnier with age.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

41. Good thing

Molly Ivins isn't around anymore to cause trouble, huh?

[redqueen]

43. Pardon? Ivins was entertaining.

Her Texas jibes were light-years away from the older-than-dirt schtick we routinely see here.

And she paired them with an obvious love for Texas, something the recyclers of such long-worn-out attempts at jokes fail to do.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

44. Well,

that's good to know, and I hope the Texans she mocked didn't take it personally....................

[redqueen]

45. Considering the fact that, as I said,

she balanced her jibes with a very obvious love of her adopted home state and those who live here... no, they didn't.

[MicaelS]

48. No they didn't, because Ivins was funny

To explain it further, it's like the difference between a black comedian making savage jokes about blacks and a white comedian making savage jokes about blacks. One is acceptable and one is not. One is funny and one is not.

I have nothing against you personally, I find I often agree with you in other posts. You are intelligent and make well-argued posts in other threads. You are just wrong in this case. Texans are tired of Texas bashing by non-Texans and are quick to let people know about it.

[redqueen]

49. Some non-native Texans still think free-for-alls are great fun.

I think they're idiots, but hey...

[plcdude]

67. I beg to differ

take Coburn and Inhofe please.

[redqueen]

69. Huh? If this was a Texas board, you'd see some Okie bashing.

It's not though, and OK is just not as common a target for bashing.

[Paladin]

30. 3.5 Million Texans Voted For Obama.

Texas DUers are sick to death of the hatred that we see here, day after day after day. Thoughtless, blanket prejudice directed against the entire state, millions of Democrats included. It's no joke. It's not funny.

"You're out of Texas now, I hope?" Guess what you can do with your apology.....

[Shell Beau]

56. Yep! I don't live in TX, but the south as a whole gets bashed to hell

and back. Not like TX though. I happen to think it is quite a fine state. I have been there several times and have enjoyed every visit.

[EndersDame]

11. thank you

[txwhitedove]

19. Thank you, GOPisEvil!

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

25. I'm sick of Texas-bashing disguised as "humor" too

:loveya: GOPisEvil!

dg

[redqueen]

27. Hehehe... one poster here put me on ignore

for not having a sense of humor about it.

*roffle*

[WolverineDG]

54. zOMG me too me too!!!!

Guess their skin ain't so thick....hmm, this calls to mind something about glass houses & the people who live in them......

:rofl:

dg

[redqueen]

66. It *is* kinda ironic, isn't it?

*roffle* indeed. :hi:

[MicaelS]

16. Didn't see a sarcasm tag.

And like the other poster, I tired of Texas bashing too.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

37. You didn't see an emoticon -

because it was a joke, not sarcasm, and you might want to check out the difference...........

[krispos42]

12. I'd like to take this moment...

[suninvited]

15. lol

I dont think I posted any gloating threads last winter, but I suppose we do deserve that .

I am right under that big 106 in the OP picture, btw!

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. I never gloated. 100+ temps for almost a month now.

It really isn't Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

[JVS]

35. +1

[dixiegrrrrl]

46. Fed ex me some of that cool stuff, pls.

[qnr]

13. As a displaced Mainer, I'd rather not be reminded, thank you ever so much :/ n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

55. Would you like me to send you some of our ocean breezes?

[qnr]

62. Ah, if only :) - thanks for the offer! n/t

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. What about the 17 people in Yuma, Arizona?

Where's the compassion for them, huh? :shrug:

[Trailrider1951]

17. Yup, it sucks to be us

My lawn is crispy, my begonias have withered, and the dog won't stay outside more than 5 minutes. My next electric bill will have a sizeable sticker-shock factor. :yoiks:

[Bucky]

18. Maybe west Texas. Here in Houston we're lookin' at a cool refreshing 97 in the shade

Not counting the humidity, that is.

[WolverineDG]

24. Sweater weather!

Just wish it would rain where I am. :(

dg

[txwhitedove]

20. HOT, just the way I like it . I would rather be mowing the lawn...

at Noon in 100-heat than stuck in a frigid office all day.

We like things spicy down here!

:)

[KatyaR]

21. Actually, that's cooler that it has been.

The last two weeks, our highs have been anywhere between 100 and 115 degrees. I'm seriously dreaming of the far North right now . . . .

[redqueen]

28. Yep...

it's supposed to cool off to the 90's soon though.

(Yes, to us, at this time of year, that's cool.)

[MilesColtrane]

64. Those smiley, plastic local weather guys haven't mentioned that...

...that "cold" front is going to be accompanied by increased humidity.

Likely outcome will be that it will feel just as hot as it has for the past week.

I'm afraid the forecast will be for continued pain and lightening of the wallet.


Heat Index Calculator and a nice chart to go along with it.

[redqueen]

68. Dammit!

x(

[old mark]

22. My sister in League City, TX says it has been hot all spring and summer,

but beter than when they lived in Dallas.

We are about 6 - 8 dergees below average here in PA this summer, temps in the high 70's to mid 80's. Have not even been in the 90's since early spring.

Sorry, but it has been great so far.

markO8)

[datasuspect]

26. that's ok

in another 1.5 to 2 months the weather starts trending cooler.

by october, we'll have some hot spikes, but it will be a hell of a lot nicer.

by xmas, it might hit the high 30s at night with 70s and clear blue skies in the daytime (thanks canadian air masses!).


at least we don't have nine months of winter where i sit here in texas.

i'll take the four or so months of hot weather, thank you.

[hippywife]

29. I've been down here in OK for 12 years now.

When I still lived in Ohio (born and raised) I would see a map like this and say, "How do people down there live like that! I will never live in a place where it gets that hot every summer!"

Famous last words. The things you do for love. :rofl:

It's a real pain in the pitooti but you do the best you can to get through it, remembering that this too shall pass. :hi:

ETA: look at AZ, NV, and CA! Whew!

[sasquatch]

31. The Mexicans didn't call that area Anos del Diablo for nothing

[Manifestor_of_Light]

33. I love it!

:rofl:

We have SIX months of heat in Texas.

Last October I was cleaning out my house in Houston and it got pretty insufferable in October.


It can still be pretty warm between cool fronts in November.

[sasquatch]

34. I use the phrase to tease ScreemingMeemie about her move to Houston

[TEXASYANKEE]

42. Day #8

It's the 8th day in a row of above 100 temps here in the Dallas area, tomorrow will be #9. But then a "cold" front will come through and drop us down into the mid-90s. Summertime in Texas, ya gotta love it.

[MajorChode]

47. Two months of Africa hot and 10 months of mild weather

I'll still take it.

There's supposed to be a cool front go through tomorrow night and the highs might actually get down into the mid 90's.

[guitar man]

50. yeah

It's a hot MF in Oklahoma City right now. I'm gonna take my motorcycle out and ride it anyway, I'm tired of sitting around....

[texanwitch]

52. I am getting used to it.

Hide inside during the day whenever I can.

Go out at 8 PM, this is vampire weather.

:rofl:

Remember sweat is good for you, really.

I have been out in the heat during the day, it isn't fun.

Just drink lots of water and wear a good sunhat.

[XemaSab]

53. You see that 105 up at the top of California?

:banghead:

[quakerboy]

58. and 110

at the bottom. I hate to think what that could mean for people living in mexico, many of whom probably have slightly less in the way of AC and weatherization. And assuredly nowhere near as many dairy queens to take refuge in.

The 91 coming my way freaks me out. Count me among those with no intention to EVER move anywhere more than 300 miles south of Canada.

[Shell Beau]

57. I hate to think us Mississippians have been lucky and all with a

heat index of 108, but the actual temp has only been 98 or so. It must suck hard in TX and OK right now!!!!

[triguy46]

59. self delete/erase/removed/taken down/screwed up

[triguy46]

60. It was only 93 in Stillwater today, a very pleasant break. Cooler next 5 days.

My hot work is done, baled hay last week, all in the barn. Fixed equipment, cleaned barn, time to relax.

[Texasgal]

61. It's been horrid...

I can't even put into words what a nightmare this summer is so far! :cry:

[kimmerspixelated]

73. I was visiting my family there in mid to late June, and usually

it's not so bad, I grew up there, but this time, I have to admit it was friggin' hot! Off and on for 10 years or so, this was the first time at the end of the trip I had to say, OMFG it was hot! And it was North Tejas, too! Still, I'd like to move back...

[mwooldri]

63. Anything above 75 to me is hot.

I know it may seem weird me saying this, but I miss English weather. High of 74 and rain in London tomorrow.

[zanne]

65. I can relate to that.

I like cool weather and rain doesn't bother me. I once spent January to March in England and it was cold as hell. I couln't understand why it didn't snow. I'd love a summer of cool weather. That must be great.

[PassingFair]

70. ACK!!! We're leaving for Texas on Friday...driving from Detroit.

We plan on staying a couple of nights in NOLA
on the way down....

Any suggestions on places to stay in NOLA?

Any tips....other than STAY IN YOUR AIR CONDITIONED CAR?

[cherish44]

71. Wow 101 way up on the Oregon Coast

Can we blame Canada for this?

[blueamy66]

72. What about us poor folks in AZ?

See the 112 in AZ? That is hot!

[MilesColtrane]

74. It doesn't feel as hot though.

You guys have lower humidity.

Right now:

Tucson: temperature...103F...heat index...99
Dallas: temperature...104F...heat index...107

You also get 8-10 degrees cooler at night than we do.

[Taverner]

75. Central Texas, Central California, Central Florida - YEEEEOUCH!

Gonna be hot tomorrow - I'm glad I'm not headed to Sac tomorrow
