Hello, Lounge!

[progmom]

:hi:

Progspawn is sleeping and Progdad is mowing the lawn. I'm procrastinating.

What are you doing? How hot is it where you are?

[ailsagirl]

1. In beautiful Northern California it is about 70 degrees

Most unusual for this time of year!!
(But I'm happy with it)

[progmom]

4. enjoy!

:D

[arwalden]

2. I Was Gonna Wash The Car...

... but it's too hot here in Maryland! I'll wait until the sun drops down behind the trees.

But... on the bright side... I did manage to give my Shih Tzu a haircut/grooming, nails clipped, and shampoo/conditioner/blowdry. She tolerates it and cooperates (mostly)... but now she's pouting and wants nothing to do with me.

[progmom]

3. It's 90 here and i have to play softball in 90 minutes

x(

[bettyellen]

5. what's up with you.....

i am having a tiny breather before i shower and get back to stuff...
got a lot of yard work done this weekend.
so damned hot today. i was working with the sprinkler on 1/2 the time!

[progmom]

18. we went to the pool this morning

:)

progspawn just woke up and we're cuddling while i post.

:hi:

[Droopy]

6. It's 91 here in beautiful southwestern Ohio

I'm staying out of the heat and chilling with you guys.

[progmom]

20. hi Droopy!

:loveya:
glad you're here!

[Doomy]

7. It is very

hot here in eastern Pennsylvania. We have not had any rain for a while. I am hoping for a big thunderstorm to come soon to cool things down. One of the RV trailers got hit by lighting 2 years ago down the road though.

[progmom]

25. welcome to DU!!

:hi:

[LastKnight]

8. mid 80s here...

humid as a beeoch too... the dog is lounging on the ac vents... everyone's bein kinda lazy, i intended to clean my room but here i am...

19. It's so hard to get motivated when it's hot...

And you have humidity on top of the heat, which makes
it even more enervating.

But then, you get rain in the summer, right? In
California (normally-- this year has not been
normal), our last rain is usually in April, then
we don't see a drop until October. :(

(I love the rain)

[LastKnight]

22. sometimes...

its tended to come at nightfall these days... but now and then we get a good storm during the day.

[ailsagirl]

30. I love it when it rains at night...

One year we had huge amounts of rain (El Nino weather
pattern) but they were tropical storms. Usually, I like
to have a fire going when it rains but whenever I lit
one, after a few minutes I had to throw open all the
windows because it was too darn hot!!

[UrbScotty]

9. We're in a heat wave in West Michigan: High 80s/upper 90s

I was posting in the MI forum that it's hard for me to believe that people actually go through the trouble to leave Michigan for warmer weather. But, like I also said in that thread, we won't be wondering come next February/March.

[progmom]

28. same can be said for southeastern michigan

i'm with you! :hi:

[khashka]

10. Hey progmom!

Well here in the armpit of Texas it's about 95 but I just got a new air conditioner and I've got it down to about 65.
After I take a shower and put some clothes on I'll probably go over to mom's house and annoy her for a while.

Khash.

[progmom]

29. Khash!!!!!!!

:bounce:

I bet you don't annoy your mom at all. :D

[SOteric]

11. It's about 65 and overcast.

I'm hangin out with the cat, chatting on ICQ, puttering in my kitchen and having a generally nifty time.

[ailsagirl]

23. Love that weather!! Esp. in summer

Where do you live?

[SOteric]

36. Seattle.

:hi:

[ailsagirl]

44. Ah, that explains it. Another poster mentioned the same weather

and she lives in Seattle as well. (baby_bear)

[progmom]

31. that sounds delightful!!!!!!!

i'm heading back out into the heat to play softball shortly. :(

[baby_bear]

12. Reading newspapers and watching baseball in Seattle

It's mid 60s I'd say. Overcast and a little breezy. Rather nice. Mariners just tied up the game; my cat's asleep on the easy chair, and I have both the New York and Seattle Times to keep me company, plus I just opened a bottle of white wine.

Can't complain! But next Sunday I have to travel to northern Virginia for my husband's family reunion. Not looking forward to the travel or the weather (we'll see about the people...)

Have a good one.

b_b

[ailsagirl]

26. That sounds positively cozy... does it get hot ever?

When I say hot, I mean anything over 90 degrees...

[baby_bear]

51. It was in the 80s for a couple days in May

It may have even hit 90. It was a record setter, or close to it.
A colleague of mine visited for the first time - he's from Ontario Canada, and said he will never believe anything he reads or hears about Seattle again.

If we get to 80 here, people start complaining.

At least we don't get humidity, except for rain. :-)

b_b

[ailsagirl]

53. Ah, the wonderful Pacific Northwest

It's beautiful up there

:)

[progmom]

32. oh - that sounds great.

:)

[achtung_circus]

13. 85 Fornheat (Metric conversion)

bright and sunny. My GF & I just got back from the Pride parade in beeyooteeful downtown Toronto, our feet hurt and we have ribs marinating/simmering, potato salad and lots of etc.

[progmom]

34. ooh - pride weekend in toronto can be a blast

:)

[achtung_circus]

48. It was great fun.

the water hoses and pistols were out in force. There was so much water flying around it felt quite refreshing. Even the on-duty cops were having water fights with bystanders. For the first time the Chief of Police marched, as did our mayor and Jack Layton, head of the NDP party rode a bicycle built for 2 with his wife.

[ailsagirl]

45. I love Canada

:loveya:

[evlbstrd]

14. 96 in KC.

Thank god for the attic fan.

[progmom]

35. we need one of those

for now we have the a/c cranked.

[evlbstrd]

52. If you install one,

keep your cat away from it!
But it is cheaper than A/C. And blows that comforting attic smell out to the front walk.

[swag]

15. It's sort of cool here today

and cloudy, but no rain.

I'm chillin' on the couch with my fly bitch, after a day of relatively high household achievement. Probably steam some artichokes for the dinner hour. And read into oblivion tonight. Continue with The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer, a guaranteed heartbreaker, so I've been told.

What has the prog weekend entailed? Did you play any good numbers yesterday? I couldn't listen, because I was down at oil painting class. But I did hear Marian McPartland's show on the way to eat some buffalo ch*cken wings, so thought of you.

Have a good week, lady.

[progmom]

37. your fly bitch?

:rofl:

:)

prog weekend has been just fine. progdad's extended family was in town to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. lots of aunts fawning over progspawn. we got in some swimming, and shortly i'm heading off to my second softball game of the weekend.

[Kathleen04]

16. Hey, progmom

Just relaxing today--going to watch some movies and read.

It's 80 degrees here in Long Island. :)

[progmom]

38. i got a little bit of reading in too

it's taking me forever to get through this book. dunno why.

[NYdemocrat089]

17. I just finished dinner.

We had chicken and rice. It's soooo hot here today, and very humid. It's 91 out. In our area we've broken the record for most days above 90 in june. the record was two, and we've had seven (I think this is the eighth).

[progmom]

39. my parents live in the finger lakes area

suffering a similar fate. just got back from a weekend in toronto to find their pool filled with algae too. :cry:

[JVS]

21. It's too fucking hot! 92

I wish it would stop!

[progmom]

40. yes.

a nice cool breeze would be very welcome right now.

[auntAgonist]

24. I hate it I hate it I hate it.

the heat makes me cranky :(

[progmom]

41. me too

x(



i'd hug you but it's too damn hot.

[ailsagirl]

47. I hear you!! When someone tells me they love it when it's 100

degrees or more, I just want to SLAP them.
(no offense to anyone who likes extreme heat)

Sometimes in N California, it can (and does) get
up to 110 degrees.

Sometimes we'll get 30 consecutive days of 100 +

One year (back in the 1970s) it was 119 degrees!!

One good thing about summer is that Fall is the next season.
:)

[ghostsofgiants]

27. I'm bored and trying to figure out why it's so cold yet so nice outside

It's a beautiful day, but it's only 12°C (53°F) outside.

[progmom]

42. well that sounds just fine to me

:)

[ailsagirl]

49. Think of the days when women were covered head to toe with

heavy dresses. (100 + years ago)

Long sleeves, stockings, heavy shoes... terrible

We didn't have A/C when I was growing up-- don't know
how we stood it. (of course, back then, cars didn't have it
either)

Driving cross-country could be a real challenge.

[ghostsofgiants]

50. Well since I'm not outside, I'm not complaining

[hyphenate]

33. Hotter than Hades

will be when the Bush regime shows up.

[progmom]

43. heh - yup.

:hi:

[billyskank]

46. Hi progmom!

I'm just about to turn in. :hi:

[Floogeldy]

54. Uh, he he he he he he he he he he, uh, he he he he he he HELLO.

B-)

[progmom]

55. flooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hug: how the heck are you?
