That is a bit warm for your area, so no wonder it feels so hot to you. There are times when heat can take a toll on me, too, so I make my plans around it if I can. Before I had A/C, one of the things I used to do was take a warm (or regular temp) shower...the water being wet didn't matter that it was warm, it still felt good. Then, when finished, I would not dry off, maybe a little patting dry in some spots, but I stayed wet. Put on the minimal amount of clothes and laid or sat where I could feel the air of a fan. It was like when you get out of a pool (or out from the water at a beach) and you feel the coolness of the breeze against the wet body. Also, a wet towel, washcloth, or any cloth kept against the back of your neck will help...I used to keep a bowl of water in the refrigerator with a couple of cloths in it...and a couple of wet ones, slightly rung out, in a baggy in the freezer.

Happy 4th of July to you too.

Last few days have been very hot and steamy with temperatures in the low nineties and the humidity nearly as high, but that is Florida.

Sorry to hear the heat is making you ill. It affects us all differently. I'm fine with heat as long as there is cool water (lake or pool) around to cool off in. Soak in cold water if you don't have AC...you don't want to get heat stroke.

You would NEVER survive an Oklahoma summer!

Sorry about the heat. We are having similar temperatures here, but that's normal for here. Do you meant to tell me that the "roll" is irreparable, now that I'm done?
comment by jerms on June 30, 2008 9:37 PM ()
If you followed the pattern then it is supposed to roll. It's called a rolled hem. It's just the nature of the stitch. I knit one of my grandson's a pullover with a rolled collar. I designed it that way. Your baby sweater is adorable. Don't try to flatten it. In other words, it ain't broke so don't fix it.

I take it that it normally does not get that hot there? put a bowl of ice in front of your fan. although I did see a CSI episode where a guy did that and ended up electrocuting himself.

The normal temperature for this time of year is 24C/75F.

When I was a kid my aunt in Nevada put a pan of cold water with a chunk of ice in it in front of a fan and that blew cooler air around. I'm not sure how it works in a humid climate.

Thank god for a/c
comment by brian45 on June 30, 2008 2:46 PM ()
You don't like a/c?? I rented lived in a roommate situation about 9 years ago where I only had a fan "that blew hot air" and it was not fun. Try to keep cool somehow
reply by brian45 on June 30, 2008 3:00 PM ()
I have a fan but it's just blowing the hot air around.

Dang global warming.

Your lucky - were in the 100's all week! Time to get a pool.
comment by meranda on June 30, 2008 2:26 PM ()
or a/c or both.

enjoy the heat wave
comment by fredo on June 30, 2008 2:17 PM ()
Acutally, I don't do well in the heat and am feeling quite ill.
