Not everyone was ugly to me...most people weren't, but plenty were. It was an almost daily occurence; it got to the point where I could fake a good enough English accent to be left alone if I was in a hurry.

I remember how shocked my co-workers were when they found out I didn't have an overdraft. I just went without in order to save and my ex and I made decent money and split the bills, but it was still hard to save.

LOL, that's a good one. I haven't heard one that ridiculous in a while!


True; our boiling heat is constant in summertime, yours isn't. At least in England you know there's relief just around the corner. It usually doesn't last more than a couple of weeks.

I love the cold so it doesn't bother me much but yes when it storms i find myself in the house lol
or when its too hot im burning up lol

I've JUST finally managed to get my account to £0.00 after almost 4 years!
That's only because I had jury service and got a bit of extra cash!
I have no idea how I'd have done it otherwise!

Yep, rained an absolute storm last night, thunder, lightning the whole shebang! Been on and off hot/rain today so it's fairly humid but I havn't had to subject anyone to my upper arms today haha!

Our 4 day heatwave ended last night with an incredible storm!
The lightning was RIGHT ABOVE OUR HOUSE! Lit my entire room white and sounded like a gunshot. Closest I've ever been to a storm in my life!!!

We had a pretty scary storm here the other night, Blew the front door open xP

I wear capris, and a t-shirt.

Even when I'm thin I'll wear carpis. I have scarring on my leg that I am not proud of.

But you did it.

We've got nothing but highs of 100+ for the next week (at least). They had a hurricane in south Texas but it didn't make it up to us.

Wow.
I probably would have cried.
Haha I'm such a wimp!

The bank LOVED me when I went in to close it off, I guess any spare money they can get they're thrilled with right now!



Wow.. 100+!!!!! *feels warm thinking about it*
I can't imagine having any rationality at all in that heat for that long haha!

lol

I just curled up with my dogs xP They'll protect me.. this house is huge though and i was the only one out of 8 people home... i had to go close all the windows and doors by myself

We have air conditioning so it's not so bad. We kind of live indoors this time of year.

Remember that huge heat wave that hit the UK in 2003 (I think it was '03)? The temperature in York got up to almost 99F and we had no AC; a friend of mine had a baby at an NHS hospital with NO AC on the hottest day in recorded history in Britain...it was crazy.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat! NO AC!! Yes I remember that! I felt VERY sorry for the pregnant ladies then! They must have been burning up!
We just have nothing in place for warm weather the only place I know with AC is the cinema!!

I wear halter and baby doll dresses all summer long. In Alabama Summer is May to October, basically. Seems to get longer every year. I work in a theatre department and it's quiet in summers so I can be pretty casual. So, now that I'm a chub I wear the more cottony, breezy sundresses for leisure, too. Even if I could get into my jeans I wouldn't want them this time of year. That's what I tell myself, anyway, lol.

And I long ago stopped worrying about my pale skin and floppy upper arms. I used to wear panty hose in summer until I finally said, "What thuh?" and decided I didn't care what the students thought of my banged up knees (I am a medalist in the Spaz Olympics.) Perhaps that's a perk of hitting my forties. I became an "I don't care bear" when it comes to those little body issues. Still won't wear a bikini though. For the sake of others, lol.
