Put ice (not a knife) on your inside wrists.

OOO!! I forgot, you could always go to the office fridge and open it up and just stand there right in front of it, stand almost inside it.  Open the freezer too while you're at it.  Scope out any goodies in there you might want while you're at it.

You can't.  Just ask the Bucks, Bulls, Pacers and Spurs.

I asked LeBron and he said Gold Bond

Sun went down guys. Feelin' better.

Stay cool buds. Stay cool.

Also have you tried laying with your belly touching the cold concrete floor?  After a run my dogs do this in the garage, and they keep shifting positions as the concrete they're laying on gets warm.  Also stick out your tongue and breath in and out really fast, "pant."  If that still doesn't work, drown your face in a bucket of water, be sure to slobber a lot.

Dogs can be very smart.

Guys, come to Dallas to beat the heat tomorrow, high of 79

this might be for another thread but please tell me what to do with my hands when it is 79 degrees in the middle of july

i mean, do i pretend it's summer and just do summer stuff or do i go ahead and just dive right into fall stuff

if it's the latter it's gonna be tough because i don't have any leaves to rake or fb games to watch

i always thought I'd love 79 in summer but now I'm having a little crisis on what to do

start a thread about how much you love summer.

Drive to pilsbury and let the cool waters rush over your head next time that happens. Don't even hesitate.

Found a blog with some tips:

No air conditioning? Make a homemade air conditioner using a fan and bowl of ice. The fan’s breeze will blow across the ice cubes and, as they melt, ice-cooled air will spread and help cool off a small space, like a bedroom or kitchen.

 

Avoid coffee and alcohol.  “They are diuretic-based and can lead to frequent bathroom visits that exacerbate dehydration,”  Kikano says.

CartierFor3 has become quite the poster as of late. I think the combo-fanning season is just what he needed.

GTFOOH with that ice idea.  Assuming the person made their own ice (sustainable), all the thermal energy removed from the water to create the ice ends up coming off the back of the freezer (into the room) anyway.  So hot kitchen, cool TV room?  The only people that would try this live in a trailer anyway so pretty much just a hot trailer.
