Here in TX we've been having three digit temperatures.
Just got be from New England, the people there were having 80+ and were suffering (beer supply was hit hard). Even in the Rockies temperatures are 80+.
Question: How are you coping? Do you take cold showers-run around nude-hang out at the pool? Or have you become creative? Would you like to share your method?

Loose clothing. More Skirts and blouses instead of jeans and t-shirts. Drink plenty of water before going out. Drinking a 10 oz glass of COLD water will help keep the core part of your body cooler longer than drinking room temp water.

I am in Savannah, GA where we hit 100F monday with high humidity to go along with it. Also about half my work day is spent outside. Although I wear long pants and a polo shirt for work, as soon as I get home for the day I change into short shorts, a tank top and sandals. My liquid routine for the day is coffee in the morning, water during the day and beer in the evening. The best suggestion I can make to anyone is get outside more frequently so you adapt to the temperatures, that way it won't be such a shock to the body going back and forth from hot to cold.
Hugs,
Marsha

Little or no makeup, sundresses, air conditioning, and water--lots of it. Watch the ice; it'll just make you hotter.
SInce I'm a hot number myself, if I'm sweating, there'd better be either a d@mn good sale or really fantastic s*x...!

I work in a place that has my shirt soaking wet 30min after I get there. Lots of water in small sips. I can take the heat but I don't like sweat running down in my eyes.
After I get home it's a shower & light loose clothing.
