OT things I have learned while coping with the heat

LOL Nightmist We, too, are having horrible heat, but I am not brave enough to run around in my undies. We have a bunch of pervs and up-tights here. I'll either get attacked or the police will get called. Toni / Indiana

What you do in your own home is your business; no need for clothing inside your own house. ;)

oh dear I can't help LOL-ing but yes I do get your thing about Ash.. it would have had me racing for my winter pj's in seconds!

you need the excuse of the heat to run around in underwear? I am ashamed of you! :o)

Marissa forever c> Running around the house in a camisole and undies is OK.

Close the curtains/blinds/whatever, esp in teh hottest part of the day on teh side the sun glares in on --- it will help keep the house cooler.....actually close them about an hour before the sun starts in on that side and it is even more effective

I usually am less than fully attired when at home anyway -- no kids to embarrass and DH doesn't mind -- we are just judicious about when the front door is open to screen only (we are hedged in so the only real worry is that some misguided fool will come to my door soliciting or worse, trying to convert me to a religion I don't want to be a part of

-- so usually we wait until the hours for that sort of thing are passed, and our mail has been delivered, before we open the door on such days)

Tricia -- where it is finally COOLER....

he'll probably run away faster if he sees you are less than fully attired.... so that might take care of that problem.. :o)

*grin* I have made it a point to answer the door scantily clad when proselytizers come to call. I have a blood red satin skinny strap lingirie that works a treat on the local Baptists and Jehovah's Witnesses. The Mormon gents just stand there with really big eyes, then get a bit flustered when they find out I already have the book. They don't come to my house in cold weather anymore.

Ought to ask the Mormon's to show their "magic underwear"!I've heard they get flustered!!

I heard somebody say they always invite them in for a beer. Taria

Any time someone peddles religion at my door, I tell them I will go to their church after they attend Catholic mass with me.

I have never had anyone other than the Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door. I was kind of like you, of course they always want a donation, I told them I would donate to their church if they would donate to mine. Didn't have another one for years, then one day I was in the basement and alone, I had locked the door so no one could come in on me and the door bell rang, I ran up the steps, an swung open the door thinking it was my dad, lo and behold it was them again. I looked at them and said, no thank you and shut the door. A few months later some more showed up at the door, when I went to the door I pulled back the curtain to see who was there, they were looking towads our garden, now when I knock on a door I look at the door so I can see the person the minute they open the door, I didn't open it this time I just walked away and have not been bothered since. One will show up this weekend you wait and see.

and other fun things

I promptly took off all my clothes 5 minutes after my kids left on their first day of school. In celebration of the fact that they now cover 3 schools, I stripped, just because I could.

I promptly redressed when I realized I was missing blinds on one window.

I found a way to deal with the Mormons...

We still had a bunch of boxes on our front porch from the move. My husband and I were sitting out front talking when they rode up on their bicycle. We continued casually talking, when my husband mentioned something about the boxes. I said that the best moving boxes were liquor boxes, and then I made a comment about how interesting it was that we package liquor better than we do live organs for transplant.

The missionaries left and haven't been back!

Once the upstairs is done I will be able to dance naked next to the eaves if I want to. I will be able to sew naked if I want to! Which I won't because I would worry about pins and my t^H^H^H bosom.

We tossed mothballs around the attic at the recomendation of the local boys in blue. Killed the odd smell, but now the place smells like naptha. I can cope with that. Still gonna go over the place with a fine tooth comb to make sure there are no nasty surprises.
