How do you life and work in the southern heat ?

LOL!

Summerville/North Charleston area.
And it's hot as a bitch today.
Gonna go fishing here after while.

Dry heat is deceptive, you think it's not that hot and next thing you know you're dehydrated, you gotta be careful. I worked one summer years ago in the Arizona Desert laying a temporary Airfield out all day in the sun. It wasn't that bad really if you kept hydrated. The buildings were just flat roof block buildings with no AC and at night we wouldn't even sleep in them, we'd all sleep outside. Of course that was in the Marines and we were lucky to even get water I suppose because they don't give you shit as they spend all the money on the trashy officers corps who were living in the lap of luxury while all this was going on.

People wearing winter clothes in the heat, could be having heroin withdrawals, makes you feel like you're freezing, so I've heard.

Don't notice them inside...the guy with the "Parka" pulled up next to me at a redlight...he was in a old beat up camero with the windows(AC not working)...hell I broke a sweat just looking at him...
the other recent one was a "family" in an old Nissan...windows down, no AC....there were 5 folks in the car...mom,dad, 9-11 yr old boy, small child in car seat, and a 13-50 yo boy with the "Hoodie" up....the other 4 were sweating like pigs...but this guy "had the hood up"

No hable ingles!

I don't find anything under 95 with extreme humidity hot ... normally gets up around 90 here in summer tampa bay area ( inland gets hotter ) ... sea breezes etc ... no issues for me and I grew up in upstate NY where I could NOT STAND THE COLD... COLD FUCKING HURTS

Mint julips!

and sweet tea!

Every time I go somewhere out of the south the first thing I do when I get off the plane is find the closest place to get a huge sweet tea!

PS. It's mint julips...end of story...all the other excuses are bs.

In Atlanta we just hire Mexicans

Had to laugh a little about that one, cause it's so true, unfortunately.

I hate to say this.....

but the weather isn´t the real problem....

chemtrails amplify the negative effects of hot weather....


fisrt of all the heat is amplified by the metallic substances in chemtrails....

it creates drought for strarters...

dries up all the environment....

makes your blood pressure go up bigtime....

now if that wasn´t enough we have the cosmic factor....

solar activation....

this year begins the activation of papa sun....

the heat will be stronger....

but nothing compared to next year....

take vitamin c to build stamina...and drink elctrolytes....

gatorade sucks....

has too many chemicals....

You are a liar. In the Marines the officers serve right alongside the enlisted men and suffer along in the same conditions. You must be thinking of the Army and Air Force.

Ya'll better harden up to withstand the major shitstorm we

are all about to face,

acclimation is the secret.

Drink Gatorade and eat bananas.

I hide out in my mothers basement.

Which is the problem.

Three days with 90 and high humidity .. next day it is rain with 50 and you need the central heating .. to be even colder next day and just when you have collected the long sleeved stuff .. it´s 80 and rising to 90.

So i am looking for those "tricks" to stand the heat.

yeah .. being used to AC at work (my home inside does not need one .. 1 meter walls ) it pisses me off that i can not do that much as i would like after work on a hot day.

We don't. This is why we have illegal Mexicans. They will.

koolaid,slurpees,shade,blunts,cold beer.

South Georgia here. I've been here almost a decade, after spending most of my life in Minnesota.
Summer in GA is like Winter in MN. Just stay inside! I'm of Scadi descent and I'll tell ya, moderate exercise in this weather is a quick invite to heat stroke. I have a friend whose AC went out during the night. His place heated up and he got heat stroke in his SLEEP!

That said, being of N. European DNA, I 'laugh at the cold' - It means nothing to me to be hanging out in 40 degree weather in a t-shirt and open leather jacket. I find it invigorating.

The heat here in GA puts a whole new perspective on the cruelty of slavery!

Please remember to include some regular intake of salt while you are sweating it all out of your body with all that water. Learned this is Mississippi doing tornado disaster relief.

I just set my AC to 76

I dont get how people live with 66 degree AC...wtf?

I went to the rain forest for 2 week.

Long sleeve shirts, pants, hat. Fully covered pretty much.

Secret? sweat your ass off and drink water non stop. You never piss unless you drink alcohol lol

oh yea and willpower, mind over matter etc

I live in very humid St Louis Mo at the time. We have had a scorcher summer with high humidity this year. I hope Florida's humidity will be no worse. We stay inside a lot. We will be moving to Florida and traveling in our 5th wheel soon.

My husband and I are disabled and our health requires we be in a warm climate, but the med's we take require we not get overheated. We are excited about our travels, especially when winter comes, to be in the south. We will be taking your advice and I will try fishing in the morning and evening when it is extremely hot.

theres your proof that yankee's are pure pussies..duded just leave the man shit to us and go get a pedicure and sip you appletini's with you metro man girl friends.

By drinking water you pussy, its the saloon shoot outs and indian raiding parties you gotta watch out for.
