ice packs

good plan

seriously, different strategies, is a good idea. Including ice water foot baths. Your friends would be more than happy to help - esp when a house was chosen for having central air.

I just put my microwave heatable wrap in the freezer. We will be going in the car soon -- to drive across the bay, because the car will be cooler.

Fans cool breezes in Teppy's direction. Heat exhaustion is no fun thing. I've found running cold water on my wrists to be helpful in a pinch. Next time, raid the ice box! Ending up in the hospital would have been more of a killjoy than asking for a baggie of ice. t /mommymode

because of this conversation -- my feet are now in an icy foot bath.

Vortex, email sent and message left in your voicemail.

Sending cooling thoughts Teppy's way

I have found that putting a cold compress on the back of my neck is the quickest way for me to cool off.

I am pathetically exhausted after doing nothing more than laundry, errands, and reading the paper. So I'm giving in and taking a nap.

Errands are exhausting!

You know, it's weird, but ever since I had my surgery, I've found that I have a bit more adverse reaction to eating foods that are very rich or fried foods. My stomach gets very rumbly with gas.

This getting older shit blows dead bears.

Barb, I can't eat fried foods anymore. Occassionally I cheat, but I pay for it. Do you take anything like prilosec? It might help.

I haven't gotten used to it to the point that I think ahead, sj, but in the aftermath, I've found that Gas-X works pretty well, along with nibbling on something starchy and bland.

Haaaaa ha ha. OH MAN. I guess my current potential future wife is no longer current.

I realize this probably doesn't need to be stated, but I just wanted to make sure that we were both on the same page. It seems as if there is lack of interest on both parts, and that may be due to a multitude of reasons. I wish you the best of luck in all that you do, and it was a pleasure meeting you!

And here I was supposed to have been finding out when she would be free to meet in person. I'm certainly glad we didn't book a damn ticket now. I'm glad she admitted the lack of interest I had been sensing; if she were interested in me, she wouldn't have taken a week to respond to my e-mails, no matter how busy she was. And if I were interested in her, I would have bothered to e-mail her since we spoke on the phone (although that was more of an "I don't really know what to say" thing followed by "All my parents want me to do is fly down and meet this girl").

I am 0 for everyone!
