Its H O T !!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I dont know about any of you, but here in the Bayou Country - its H O T !!!! Heat index is just 110. Takes your breath away when you open the door.

BTW, if any of you see your mailman, please offer him a glass of ice Water. :)

Mike said that he was delivering mail to a friend's house the other day. The friend was in her truck, pulling into her driveway with her AC just blowing up a snowstorm while she sat there and talked his ears off. He was standing in the heat, the sun beating down on his head.... she didnt even offer him a cup of ice Water. :cross-eye Friends!

Anyway...

its HOT!

Yep, hot here, and we just got another severe thunder storm warning. I even give the garbage men cold drinks. I'd be skinny if I worked out there.

It's hot here too! I offer anyone who comes here or by here a drink of whatever they want. We have even went as far as letting some people that are working here take a dip in the pool. Boy, did they love that!

:cry It is definitely hot here in the DFW area too. As a matter of fact, I've gotten myself in trouble with the sun. :) Since I bought my house I've been going out everyday doing a bit of yardwork, feeding my fish, etc and well, with Lupus you're not supposed to get too much sun exposure. I've never had any serious problems, but with the everyday accumulation, I've wound up sick with a reaction to the sun and now I'm MISERABLE. The reaction (itching like mad) and new sun/heat exposure just plain hurts. But, I was having such a good time... :) :)

It's H-O-T here in NY as well! The news just said it was the hottest day since 2002! All kinds of power outages due to excessive use of energy. I have the air conditioner up to 80 just to take the humidity out of the air but it sure isn't cool in here. I'm so glad I walked this morning instead of tonight like I usually do.

Keep Cool everyone.........

I give the garbage men booze at Christmas, and they treat us like royalty. Our Water heater broke, and I simply asked if that's something they're allowed to take. They stopped the truck and came all the way through my house and carried it out to their truck for me. They also carried our washer & old fridge out. LOVE YOUR GARBAGE MEN!

I also have a soft spot for 18 wheelers, so instead of getting pissed off when they block up the freeway, I always let them in front of me. I've got friends in low places.

oh my goodness, are you serious? do you have the humidity too? thats what is killin us here ~~~~

Leatha, CONGRAT"S on your new home. You MUST show us pics!!! When did you move?

Betty, even the pool Water is HOT here. Nothing like swimming in 95 degree water... yuck!

Kare, popsicles?? THats a great idea. Mike just told me that he's never been offered a popsicle.... but! An ice cold beer is about the hardest thing to refuse on a day like today.

Lisa,

they treat us like royalty
HA! I guess they do. These community workers (policemen, mailmen, trashmen, etc.) know where they can get goodies - and they DO treat you better.

The newsman just reported that we were getting a cool front in the next couple of days. Leatha, Betty, let us know just how "cool" this is going to be! :)

Paula I think they said 88, but only going to last a day or two then back to the 90"s, but I'll take those mid 90's over this! My pool Water is warm too, but it is only 86 so it's not as bad as yours.

I'm in Coppell Leatha and it's been a "scorcher" as my East Texas kin used to say!

I had my surgery on June 7 and first "fill of 1/2 CC" on July 5th. I lost 18 pounds between the surgery & first fill.

I'm hungry as a horse and have gained back 4 lbs. So I'm REALLY hoping this 2nd fill tomorrow (different Doctor) will help me. I'm a Medicare person, so have been treated a little (or a lot) different than most of you all.

I will have to self-pay for this new Dr. - when my fills for a year would have been included had I stayed with original Dr. - but his fill site changed, appointments are few and far between for fills, etc. etc. So I'm switching and payin'! lol

It will get better - I know it will!

Please be careful with the Lupus and the sun - I have two dear friends in the same boat as you.

I'm new to this site but really like the feedback and the freedom to say what you damn well please! lol

It was hot here on Saturday 109* high with a heat index of 113*. When I opened our back door at 6pm Saturday night it felt like I was opening an oven door! Thank Goodness we have central air. Then the weather cooled off Monday night and yesterday was only around 70* and rather cool. But we are suppose to warm up for the rest of the week! UGH! I hope my hospital room is cool!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
