It's hotter than a snake's butt in a wagon rut! I'm melting.... I'm melting....

"... a gentleman pointing at the porcelain having forgotten to wash his hands after handling chilli seeds" Good GOD Wizzy, I think my own genitals just winced! LMAO. What the heck are people doing in a frypan in the first place, that's what I wish to know? And you got 5 minutes of new fan experience? Talk about living the dream! We have just the 1 fan at home and no air conditioning. It's an absolute nightmare and most days it DOES feel like I'm in a sauna while wearing a PVC jumpsuit. (Which we all know you have a secret desire to try yourself, so don't go getting all coy on me)

Trust me... having done 6 x 8hour shifts in the last 8 days I have no desire to discover the delights or otherwise of the PVC jumpsuit in a sauna experience!! The uniform, plus the plastic apron, plus the latex gloves, plus having the curtains drawn round the bed as you single-handedly try to manouevre large, elderly, incontinent people into positions where you can change their bedsheets from underneath them must give a similar sensation and it is NOT pleasant(going to the regular job was no better either ) I was going to offer 'hotter than a wrestlers jock strap' but I'm glad I didnt because I dread to think what you'd accuse me of then!!

Ooooooooh Latex! You truly ARE living it large Wizzy and I'm amazed that you're able to contain your excitement so well. And yes, it's a good thing that you never once mentioned wrestler's jock straps. Imagine how interesting things might have become if you did!

I'll excuse you in an instant knowing it gets so hot there! Yep, we do get very hot days here during summer, and we sometimes get a little snow in the winter. When I was young we would have snow more often and when my parents were kids every winter. Seems like global warming is taking it's toll. Usually it doesn't get that hot in here, but we do have a couple of very, very hot days and some less (but still very hot if you are not used to it, lol) summer weeks. Searches eBay for "worlds biggest ice cube"

Believe it or not, but in all my travels, I STILL haven't ever seen snow yet! Please let me know if anything comes up on ebay as I came up with nothing but blanks. And more importantly, if you DO find something on there, how the heck do they plan to ship it???

Flaming bamboo rods! I can smell it even when just thinking about it! It hasn't been 47 yet this time around, but this was one of the days last summer. What was really horrendous about this particular day was that it was really windy as well! It was like having the air looking to scorch the skin off your face and I've never experienced anything like it. I have no doubt that it will get up to the mid 40's and above within the next month or so and I'm really not looking forward to it at all. So far, the highest recent temperature has been 41. 30+ for Holland sure sounds hot too! I never realised it got that high there. Now, you'll have to excuse me as I'm planning on making the world's biggest ice cube somehow so I can carve it into a sofa! lol.

You could always stand in the shower with your eyes closed and think of rain..and imagine your standing in the rain.. I know it probably wouldn't work..Have you ever froze gallon jugs of water and set behind the fan? It does give off a slight cooler breeze sometimes. But in your case it would be melted in 20 minutes..so you would have to have a ton truck of jugs ready. maybe you can do a rain dance..might work for you.

Damn! All this talk of rain everywhere but here is really starting to trigger some rain cravings! Those $50 rings are not only hot, they probably have wings too and fly on out of those pawn shops like birds! There's little more digustingly funny than a lit fart too! Ahhhhhh the memories..... LMAO

A rain dance may be just the ticket! I can imagine the odd looks I'll get too as I stand out enough as it is! I'm already having cold showers these days and occasionally my Wife and I will fill up the bathtub with cold water and I'll sit in it. It's funny actually because I come home from work and my Wife will ask me: "Are you going to go for a swim?" lol. Jugs of frozen ice sound wonderful too, but unfortunately we have a very tiny freezer.

They are supposed to be so as they are freshly cooked up responses.

Just don't ever forget about them 'cos they might burn!

Whoa, that's pretty damn hot then Bala! Some of these responses are not just hot either, they're SIZZLING!

okay...so hotter than a Jabareno chilli it is!! I'm in no mood to torture myself either....till a year back, I couldn't stand any spicy food...and it's only in the past year that I've conditioned myself to 'like' it. I'm not going to try any Jabareno chilli...it might put me off spicy food for the rest of my life...and I wouldn't be able to survive in India then! hmmm...occassional spasms...seems more like frequent spasms....most your discussions expect me to use my head...not in an intellectual way! Makes me think in a whacky way.....well...after a week of whacky kiddo questions, I don't want to be doing that here too!

Aren't you glad I'm not in one of your classes then? I guess my own circumstances are very different to yours because I spend most of my time having to be so damn serious at my job, so the whackiness is somewhat of an escape for me. Maybe if I had a career as a clown, on here I'd want to be serious all the time instead? At least I don't take it to the ultimately annoying kiddie level and ask "Why?" every 5 seconds! lol. Just to give you an idea on how hot these Jabanero's are, here's a video of a teenager eating one. It looks like the poor buggers gonna have a heart attack! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8ip5oGlMfU&feature=fvst (And my apologies as it seems that Habanero is actually spelt with an H and not a J)

It just wouldn't be right if I didn't cause the occasional brain to go into spasms now would it? Anyways, when you're borderline irritable like you seem to be today, it's a heck of a lot for fun for me too! I remember discussing your time in the Middle East in the past and this region is undoubtedly one of the hottest of them all! What you've shared about them being smart in telling people the temperature is no higher than 49 is oh so true too. If it reaches 50 or beyond, everything shuts down and they don't want that! I don't think I've ever had an Andhra meal before either, but I love spicy food so now I really do have to work out some way to try it. Mexican is psicy I guess, but if you really want to torture yourself, try and get hold of a Jabanero chili.

Being in the middle of a heatwave AND having to sit under one of those salon hairdryer's sounds like torture! At least you get to leave with nice hair though! lol. Given the temperatures here in Cairo lately and the even hotter ones I know are still to come, I wouldn't mind a couple of 35 degree days! It would feel like a cold snap at the moment! Still damn hot though and especially if there's humidity as well which I assume there would be in Jamaica.

The nights here can be pretty bad too. Last night for example, at 9:30 PM it was still 31 degrees or so! At least there's no humidity though because if there was, it would be even more uncomfortable. Thank goddnes my Wife and I have a fan to help us sleep!

The last two days were so hot and yes humid. I cant remember the last time I felt such torture here and at nights too. Outside the house tends to be so cool and nice at nice we have to keep the door open sometimes until 10pm for the past two nights. I never usually pay attention to the tempreture but the yesterday and the day before made me take note. Just cant imagine having to deal with much more heat. I guess you are used to it by this. Tonight, well actually to day was not so bad at all. Hopefully that is a sign things are cooling down. There was a nice breeze at times yesterday as well but I guess the sun was just hell bent on accomplishing what it set out to do.

(touching james forehead to see if he has temp)hope you are feeling alright(slapping my forehead)silly me!!he couldnt be better!!!(seeing his comment)

I'm happy to see you got there in the end! lol

I was once upon a time only allowed to get my hair cut if the temperature was between 28 - 30 and a dolphin was singing an Eastern European National Anthem in parallel, so I feel your past frustration let me tell ya! Thankfully these days I can get my hair cut whenever I like. I usually try to do it whilst wearing an orange.

I prefer hotter weather over the cold any day of the week too, so it could be worse I guess. If I had somewhere to swim I'd be a damn sight happier though I must say! I can imagine it must get very hot indeed when MsSnow melts all over a man and it probably gets pretty humid and steamy too! To any men out there that may run into MsSnow, for God's sake prepare yourself and protect yourself well and at LEAST wear a hat! LMAO

lol.

LOL, I LOVE YOU JAMES!!!! rofl

I've had salame piccante before and it sure is spicy! Tasty too though. I've always loved spicy foods. An evening storm with heavy rain and thunder sounds like absolute bliss! I miss this in summer in my home state of Australia. We'd have hot and humid days and then a tropical storm would sweep in and eventually all the heat would disappear for a while. It was fantastic to stand out there in the heavy rain and get absolutely drenched to the bone, yet not even feel the slightest bit cold. Just refreshed! Sigh, you never realise how much you miss something like that until you've gone so long without it. There's no air conditioning in my aprtment either I'm afraid, so you can imagine how uncomfortable it can sometimes get. Thankfully though, inside isn't so bad and it's only when you get out into the sunlight itself that you really feel the heat. Do me a favour and stand out in the next storm for me will ya? lol.

Thankfully sinus is not something I've ever had to contend with and aside from a burning mouth, spicy foods seem to agree with me! I've been out in a haiulstorm before too and man it hurts if those things smack you in the head! And yes, don't you be heading out into storms with lightning unless you have a kite with a key tied to it!

I would have stood outside if there had been no lightening with it. There was hail stones too so I couldn't - and I was at work anyway. Once again I've come (after midnight as usual) and it is lovely and cool again. The forecast is for this sort of weather to continue for some days yet and I'm all for it. I don't like tobe out in the heat but that's no problem and a storm every evening, as long as it does no damage, is fine by me I'll try for you on Monday cos I'm off! As for spicy foods - when they also really hot like that is I pass. they play havoc on my sinus problems

I love the last one especially and reckon I'd pay good money to see a fight like that! 70 degress sounds like absolute bliss to me at the moment, but it'll be a good six months or so before I see temperatures like that here. Jeez, even a spot of rain would be good, but no chance there either I don't think. By the way, do you think there's much of a market for bird sized potholders? We could also market them as nipple covers and really clean up if we get it right.

I wouldn't waste the money on the prototype. Even as nipple covers, unless we got to use Hedonism in Jamaica as our test market and wrote the trip off on our taxes. Otherwise...I'll wait until a more lucrative venture comes along. And as an after thought, for some reason I thought you were in Australia all this time. Have you always been in Cairo?

What the heck are you on about? Cher alone would buy at LEAST 5 years worth of them! I've been in Cairo for over 18 months now. Before this I was in India for a little over a year and prior to that I lived in South East Asia for about 18 months. I haven't been home for some time unfortunately.

And in most places it's going to get even hotter over the coming weeks too! I experienced a 47 degree day last year (118 fahrenheit) and I'm not looking forward to another one of those, I can tell you!

I can handle the heat, it's the lack of rain that's doing my head in! I suppose where you are would have similar temperatures to Cairo, or is it a little different?

OK, thanks. I have no idea to be honest as I'm yet to get out of Greater Cairo!

i am an hour and a half away from you...it's the exact same temperature

Actually that's a pretty good question. Where the heck IS a snake's butt??? I guess we could always ask a snake's Momma 'cos they;d be spanking their snake kid's butts all the time so would know for sure where they're at! I'm glad to hear that you like the randomness of this interest group too because this is the entire point of it all! If the realities of the world are getting too repetitive, then spank a damn panda! 64 degrees doesn't sound so bad at all! I wouldn't mind a temperature like that at the moment. Right this minute in Cairo, it's almost 9:30 at night and it's STILL 31 degrees celcius! (Around 88 fahrenheit)

An absolute bucketload of very hot Summer is on it's way to you right this minute Sweetchariot. I wasn't sure of your exact address, so I took a wild guess! I hope it gets there! If it does arrive, please don't forget to tip the delivery person either because they're bound to be quite hot and bothered by the time they arrive.

Snow is fun to play in and make snowmen with the kids and through snowballs in a snowball fight.. or make snow angels.. I like snow to do those things.. I am just not ready for it yet. The weather has been all mixed up lately..cold one day warmer the next half the kids at school ended up sick and with the flu and school was called off for 4 days because of it. I just wish someone up there decides what they want the weather to be and leave it there.

Oooooh yeah, Richard Simmons in a vinyl sweat suit! It would kinda resemble a whole brood of puppies trying to fight their way out of a spandex sack I reckon! It's starting to get cooler here now too actually, but there's no way it'll get anywhere near as cold as it will over your way. I've never liked the cold myself, but getting to see snow would be an interesting experience! If I end up with some extra heat, I'll Fed-Ex it to you OK?

I hear ya about wanting some stability when it comes to weather! It's all over the place these days and never seems to do what it's supposed to do! I'll see snow one day for sure and it's a definite goal of mine. I can send you some heat, you can send me some snow.....

Monsoon is good if you are living in a clean area with less potholes. I love the rains as well. It gives me an ultimate sense of solitude. I, me, myself and just the rains. Beautiful!

Sigh..... You're making me jealous now mimpi. lol. There are many potholes and much dust here, but I don't care one bit. Gimme a monsoon anyways! No chance.

Antarctica might be considered as blisteringly hot by someone from the deep valleys of Siberia! I remember the humidity in Mumbai oh so well and it's quite humid in Summer in my home state of Australia. It can get so stuffy and uncomfortable at times. At least the monsoons should blast all of that to kingdom come when they finally arrive! I loved the rainy season in India, it was like a great big spring clean and it was always so much more comfortable overall!

You can say "dirty" hiddenwing, I won't tell, promise! This 47 degree day was like nothing I've ever experienced before! This is what it said on the news too and I reckon in some parts it would've been even hotter. The worst part of it all is that the day was really window as well, so it was like being blasted in the face by air from a furnace! I actually prefer hotter weather, but 47 is pushing it! lol. Where you are sounds far more agreeable in the Summer months, but it must get pretty cold in Winter! You start the song and I'll listen from all the way over here.

The heat must be horrendous for the elderly I'm sure. It does seem that temeperatures are creeping up a little in many areas, but most of all it seems that the hotter days are coming earlier than they used to and then lasting longer. I hope your Mother doesn't become too uncomfortable too.
