I'm so bored, I am reading tabloid trash

[Haole Girl]

about Kim Kardashian.

I don't even know who she is (yeah, the name sounds familiar, but I don't know). But I believe I've reached an all-time low in my life.

Puzzled with the controversy of why her new body suit:

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Media/slideshow/catsuits-call-stars-7682749


is considered any more revealing than a swim suit :crazy:



Our society is so weird. Really.

Maybe I'll go back to watching weather stories. Already finished watching the Weather Channel's special about the Dust Bowl. I'm so pathetic. :-(

1. I right there with you..

I need to peel myself off the sofa and do grocery shopping

[Haole Girl]

2. It's so hot here, in the Dallas area

I just want to cry. I feel trapped indoors. :cry:

[HipChick]

3. It's 99 here...I think that's why I having problems peeling myself off the sofa

[Haole Girl]

4. Where do you live?

Sorry, I forgot.

[HipChick]

5. Washington DC...and they are saying its going to be like this all week...I'm wilting

already

[Haole Girl]

6. That must be very muggy, too

We are only at 37% humidity. 97f. I shouldn't complain. I know it could be worse.

Take it easy out there! :hi:

[HipChick]

7. a long time ago, my body would fit in those body suits..

but now I wouldn't like to scare people..:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

8. I had the same thought about myself!

:rofl:

[rainbow4321]

27. LOL, my 5 ft 8, 125 lb daughter and I were walking to our car

and this older, slightly heavy set woman looked at my scantily clad daughter..then she looked down at herself in a top that was exposing her mid drift...I saw her try to pull the shirt down over her belly. I felt so bad for her..wanted to say "try living with her" and "I know the feeling".

[rainbow4321]

22. I hear that...

(waving from Plano)...I did go see a movie today but it takes ALOT to get me outdoors on the weekends nowadays. I've even let my daughter take our only car to work on the weekends most of the time cuz I have no desire to go outdoors or drive anywhere. You see the 10 pm weather the other night? It had Burleson with a "current temp" of 101! At 10pm.
My relative lives in Oklahoma and is a realtor..she's having to deal with an out of stater wanting to look at houses at NOON and 1 pm..and then the person bitchs about being HOT. Dumb shit. The person is from the Northwest US and is having issues with the Oklahoma weather.

So she left them a note in their mailbox: "We will be starting to look at houses at 9 am on Monday". We will see if the idiots get their butts up and ready by then or if they wait til high noon once again.

[Haole Girl]

23. 103f last time I checked

:cry:

[rainbow4321]

24. See, that is why I don't check

Nor do I look at those outdoor bank thermometer clocks when I am driving. Just don't wanna know. A friend of mine has one of those cars that has a built in digital thermometer in it so it is right in your face. I told her that I would have to put duct tape over the damn thing.
And the stupid weather people still act like the temp matter when it is over 100. Guess they have to justify keeping their jobs in the summer.

But fear not, before long we will be hearing the local news stations doing their "breaking news..how to keep your family warm" when the outdoors temps get "down" to 50 degrees. First time I saw that I thought "seriously?? breaking news to tell people to put on a jacket before they leave the house?"
I grew up in NJ but have lived here for 24 years now. I still hate the TX summers.
Wish I was rich enough where I could move north from June til, oh, September.

[Haole Girl]

25. Same here! LOL

I only know because my husband told me after I told him we were going riding tonight. :-(

[rainbow4321]

26. Worst part is, take a shower and feel soooo refreshed

and then the minute you step outdoors, even for a few minutes, and you feel like you have not showered in days...you are all icky again.
I prefer the take a shower and be a couch potato for the day (or, cough, weekend)...cuz it sounds so much better than take a shower and go back to your bed. It's a psychological thing. Couch potato makes it sound less lazy to me.
Or I do the "10 day forecast" at weather.com and go "oh, oh, look, in ten days it's gonna only be 95! And it will be partly CLOUDY in 8 days!". Though that only seems to work in mid to late August when the September "cool front" is heading our way.

9. Ladies?

I feel so guilty, the NW is in a cool down!

My advice to both of you: Pour a pitcher of cold water, step outside and empty it over your heads. Yes it's temporary, but that instant of refresh and chill might help you make through the remainder of the day.

Wishing cooler temps your way. :hi:

[HipChick]

10. It's too hot to even cook...

and I have sworn off fast food...I'm truly screwed...

[Haole Girl]

12. I ate salads...

until I got sick about 2 weeks ago. For reasons I won't get into, I can't even stand the thought of lettuce still.
:scared:

[jotsy]

15. Try Yogi's detox tea.

and chase with lots of water, sweat them ickies out.

[jotsy]

14. Salmon dip.

One 4 to 6 oz block of smoked salmon, not the canned stuff! Crumble meat into bowl, remove skin. In a separate bowl, mix equal amounts of sour cream and softened cream cheese. Add a little lemon juice and dill weed, sprinkle a healthy dose of black pepper and throw in a little onion, I use a freeze dried minced kind. Spoon and stir cream mixture into fish gradually, you can always add more if needed but once in, its there to stay, so don't overdue, you can push the desired texture too far. Done right, this stuff will be better the next day and will probably hold up in the fridge for another 3 or 4. Put it on a cracker, in a celery stick, or encase it in a slice of cold beef for surf and turf bites. It's cold and it's filling! Fried chicken goes down well in the heat too, after it spends a day in the fridge. Fruit, fruit, fruit, canned, melons. Don't starve, it'll only give you a headache and make you more uncomfortable.

These are ways to make you cool from the inside out.

[Haole Girl]

11. Thanks, jotsy

I'm going to stay as cool as possible during the day...trying to save energy for a night ride tonight. Think it may cool off to 80. :hi:

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. I lived and worked in D.C for a relatively short time in the 80's...

.
.
.
.
.
...running the gamut in accomodations.
.
.
.
.
.
NW D.C. where a friend was housesitting (about two blocks from
The Watergate... several Rolls Royces in the interior parking
garage).
.
I apartment-sat for 6 months a block or two off Embassy Row --
nice little place.
.
JUST outside of Anacostia (some of the worst ghetto-area in
the U.S.) in a communal group-home (fellow employees of the
nonprofit lobbying group I worked for) in a poor working-class
neighborhood. There's where I learned about "ghetto supermarkets" --
the local one was high-priced and had almost no fresh meats and/or
produce. Truly exploited people who had a hard time traveling long
distances to shop for basic survival commodities.
.
.
.
Heat and humidity? Absolute WORST I've ever experienced -- I'm
reminded of the opening scene in that brilliant classic, "The
Seven-Year Itch" with Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell, where
everyone who CAN flees the city for cooler climes.
.
.
From 101 degree Tucson (where the humidity is a SHYHIGH -- for
us -- 24%)... I send cooling vibes and recommend popsicles and
cold showers for sanity (as opposed to sanitation).
.
:toast:
.
I woulda sent you a hug... but it's too damn hot for that.
.
.
.
.
.
.
OH...and where I knew the name Kardashian from bothered me for
a long, long time... until I remembered some of the most chilling
villains on Star Trek were the Cardassians (sp?).

16. I hate summer weather.

I was doing OK in June, even though it was a hot June. (I'm in PA.) Every day is the same now: Hazy, Hot and Humid. It's going to be like this through the end of the month.

It might as well be the middle of winter, because we can't enjoy the outdoors. I can do about an hour outside in the early morning, then it's indoors until 8 pm. ugh.

[Haole Girl]

18. The only advantage to summer, when it becomes unbearable, is...

my feet aren't cold all the time. :-)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. I'm so pathetic that I am eating Nutella straight out of the jar with a spoon

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

19. I, too, have eaten chocolate today... a lot of it.

At this rate, I don't think I'll ever fit into a cat suit. :-(

[HipChick]

20. I'm about to dive into Moosetracks Ice Cream

It's too hot to be in a cat suit anyway..

[Haole Girl]

21. LOL!

Thanks for the LOL. :D :hi:

[applegrove]

28. I have never seen her in any film or tv too. She's just one of those celebrities who is famous

cause she wants to be beyond any artistic pretense.
