Summertime in the 'Burg . . .

Coming from California I thought I knew what "hot" was . . . This is my first official full summer in Mississippi & Jeezlaweez ! This is a level of heat that I was not prepared for . Short shorts, crop tops, & sun dresses before I fall the hell out

Humidity, ain't it great? NOT! The temperatures in MS really aren't that bad, it's the "feels like" temp that's caused by the humidity that is unbearable. I experienced more 100 degree days in DC in one month than ever in MS. Course, I lived on the Coast.

Dear lady, I hate to tell you this but this summer hasn't been bad so far. Drink PLENTY of water along with some gatorade/powerade. And when you are outside, wrap a damp, cool towel on your neck.

Like RL said.. this aint half as bad as usual.. it is pretty hot though. I have leather seats in my car and I swear I can hear my ass sizzle when I sit down.. its a problem. Lol.
I've heard about your sizzling ass Sophia and it had nothing to do with summer.

I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and it was 114-117 and I really did not even sweat much and I was wearing a suit most of the time. I guess I was a little but it was evaporating before I felt it. I come back to the Coast and it was like 85 degrees and I was sweating like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. The Humidity is a killer.

Yep! It's just now starting to get hot. I've just accepted it and the fact that I'm just going to sweat like crazy when I step outside for the next few months.

Sophia ... Don't you dare sizzle that ass off! I'm bringing you seat covers to protect it.

I have lived my whole life in the south, most near the coast, and would say that you get use to it,. But you don't. Drink lots of water.
I was traveling out west and it was up above 115 in some places. It was hot but didn't bother me that much. I also knew to drink plenty of water. But I was never sweaty and sticky like I am here in South Mississippi. It's like you constantly need a shower here. When driving out west, I could open the sunroof. But here in the summer time just makes me feel real sticky
Hahaha.. well come see me then Barry.. its been a while!
