I've had to work outside several days this week, mostly in the shade. I drink fluids and sweat like crazy.

I feel like crap afterwards. Cool off indoors and take a cold shower. Sometimes drink lemonade.

Is the heat taking it's toll on anyone else. What do you do to get relief?


You sound like a pussy. Man the frick up

I have no colon anymore and dehydrate easily. I work outside as well.

You catch up at night. Drink drink drink. Not cold water either. Room temp is absorbed a lot better. I spend a lot of money on fruits during summer. Spent $60 today at sams club. Watermelon, cantaloupe., grapes, plums. Eat a lot of protein. Morning is oatmeal with honey and peanut butter. Eat light at lunch as well. Not starches. I drink a bottle of water an hour at least. Even at night unless I'm sleeping.

Pickles can help as well. The juice is good for cramps as are avacadoes.

Edit to add:

No caffeine what so ever. Diuretic. Drink Gatorade: water 1:3 ratio. I've thrown up Gatorade more times than I'd like to count.

I moved to Germany to beat the heat. It's been above 90 all week and 102 today. Only thing is there is absolutely no AC anywhere here. Sucks big time.

Drink water. Take frequent breaks. Drink Gatorade or similar for the salts. Be happy you don't live in the 1800's!

Get rid of the cotton socks and underwear. All those do is soak up sweat and give you swamp feet/arse.

I was drafted into roofing by my BIL. He was doing roofs for elderly family and friends and I have no fear of heights so he hired me to help. As it turned out, I was good at it and so he kept begging me to do "one more job". Well my BIL is a good guy and he was really helping people who badly needed a roof so i kept going back.

Yeah, people looked at me funny for being a 5 ft girl doing roofs and were surprised when they heard I was actually a certified teacher. They asked my BIL if he was going to pay me as much as I would make as a teacher and he replied " Is she gonna teach them shingles to read?" (But he paid me quite well and very much appreciated my help)


Bitch, stop making my penis wiggle
