DH made me quit riding after my fifth documented concussion, a minor rear ender, in my big truck, but whip lash like "shaken baby" That's the one when I blacked out and had permanent memory loss, short term memory permanent disruption, and speech difficulties for over a year and it was probably the least violent concussion. I don't know how many I had growing up being a wild thing with horses. I had quite a few tosses going full blast on Thoroughbreds and jumping with some dinginess afterwards.

With that and being ADHD and Blonde it's a wonder I'm still alive.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

You are one wild woman! lol

Keeks, Rhaps 2nd post was the one I was talking about , taking one day at a time...lol
Haha gotcha xoxo

It's now 107 here in No.Mi.!!! I've never, that I can recall, seen it this hot!!! My poor ole two fans aren't cutting the mustard.......or the heat!
i believe a window a/c is in the very near future,lol
I'm SO hot. I can't believe you don't have AC. Do you have a portable one or anything? Maybe I can help?

Geez, Kristin...I'm sorry it's rough. I know how that gets...and how hard it is to get motivated to just leave the house. When I get to feeling that way, I will force myself out....grab a book or a notebook and go to the nearest park and find a little spot that is secluded and just get all self absorbed...and wiggle my toes in the dirt, grass, or stream. :) It's okay....you're not alone. And we don't judge...if you don't feel like posting, we understand. We miss you, but we understand. :)
Thank you Lisa love you so much. You're so nice. I love this group. I just keep waiting for it to pass. It has to at some point.

hahahahahhahahaaaaaaaa!!!

Nahh...107° is just obnoxious. Most importantly, remember to keep yourself well hydrated...not coffee, soda, or alcohol....dehydration will nullify all my following suggestions.

I'd keep your windows and doors closed. Keep your fans on high.

Grab a hand towel and soak it in cold water, wring it out, then hold it by one corner and spin it around in the air for about 30 seconds. Then drape it around your neck. When it warms back up, grab the corner again and spin it around to cool it off again and re-apply. Works great for hours...until you need to add more water because it dries out eventually.

When I get silly uncomfortable from heat I'll run cold tap water over my wrists and ankles....these are easily accessible spots where your arteries are close enough to the surface of the skin where applying heat or cold will affect the temperature of your blood as it travels through your body. It's not perfect, but it helps.

You can also take a wet washcloth (with cold water) and wipe your exposed skin down with it, then sit in front of a fan or two. Of if it gets bad, forego the mini sponge bath and step through a cool shower really quick.

You can also take a big bowl (biggest mixing bowl you have) of ice water...add like a half cup of salt to the water....then arrange a fan to blow over the top of it. if you need to stack books and place the bowl on them in order to get it high enough, phone books work great.

WOW! You are a font of information, Lisa!:)

I'm a wuss when it comes to heat...I'm definitely from the North. I can't stand anything above 80°. Heat stroke/exhaustion and I have a torrid past. So I have found a lot of ways of keeping cool when it gets hot so I don't get sick.

Really, up here in No. Mi., so close to the lake breezes, AC is normally not necessary...but this summer is not normal,lol. And she...my landlord.. lived here all her life till she moved to Mo. ast year.

Me too, Lisa, always lived in the north, anything over 80 is hell...well, now i guess i can say anything over 100 is hell,lol
