It must be the heat!

Unfortunately the heat does affect how I say things sometimes. High temperatures make me uncomfortable. When I'm uncomfortable I get cranky. I'm sure other people do too.

I do get more cranky when it's hot outside. I am SO much happier when it's cold out. When you are hot there is nothing you can do about it but when you are cold you can get a blanket or a coat. The hotter it is outside, the hotter my temper gets. So in answer to your question, yes, it does affect my temperament a lot..lol..

Oh yeh i just saw that Diana,the who cares attitude.Not me i wouldnt say that to you!! Oh you know what i mean.
Anyway am the same winter,summer,naked or clothed.I just do what i do & say what i say,cant say i really thought about the heat,prob cos there aint ever any here LOL

I really haven't been here long enough to really notice a trend, but it could very well be the heat. I think it's a lot more, though... like the rising cost of energy, commodities, etc. There is so much bad news these days that it is affecting everything, including attitudes, in my opinion.

My son just came to visit me, which is kinda rare. He seemed so 'down'. He was telling me about his recent raise, which was kind of pitiful, even though he works his derriere off. Of course, the raise doesn't offset the rising costs of everything else and I'm sure that most people are feeling the 'pinch'.

Heat usually makes tempers rise. I used to live in Baltimore City, and I could see it just by looking out my window. My cousin, who used to be a police officer, said she always saw a rise in arrests for assault and battery during periods of extreme heat. There's definitely something to it!

But, personally, I just came in from doing some gardening. It's 85 deg. outside and I was dripping wet by the time I finished. I wouldn't have the energy to get "heated" even if I tried! LOL I just want to cool off.

I have to admit that the heat makes me moody and irritable, I don't like the humidity and I find the heat sometimes too much, I cope much better in the cold, I guess I was an eskimo in my former life! It also makes me feel lethargic and tired too. So yes I can understand the heat making people fray quickly and get irritable and fractious, because I can relate to that, I don't enter heated debates anyhow and prefer to take the backseat, life is strenuous enough without losing your temper over a difference of opinion, it takes too much effort, too much effort makes you hotter. I don't like the heat so I stay out of the kitchen!

Like life there are those who will not be open minded and can never see the other person's point.

They always want to thrust down your throat their idea with out care for you or anyone else.

We have a few here in mylot, you get to know who they are and for me I just do not comment on anything they put up.
I have found no matter what you say to them you are always wrong, I dont need that crap, so I just do not go there.

And for heat of the day, they need to take a walk away from the PC and have a cool drink, and to take a break.

I guess it does affect how we say things as we get hot
and uncomfortable, then get cranky. but we should not
take it out on each other mylot users. thats not fair
and not respecting each others views that way either.
we can state our opinions but others should not make
insulting cracks at us for our opinions either.

hi mysdiannit!

well i have not really noticed people with heated argumetns here in mylot. i am just here to shrae what i know and to answer and to post discussions.

i just think thta people have a right to their own opinion.

but i guess the heat does affect moods. and when people are aleady in a bad mood when they come in here, then it is easier to snap at peopel.

good day and God bless you!

really? i am new here and i hope i don't face such situations.

for me i guess not..its my mood who plays a great role on the manner i responded on discussions here..what about you?
