I think it was around 90 today. Over the hill in Medford was 102.

Yikes! We were happy today, it was sunny and 67. lol. We have only had a few days over 70, its been the coolest spring in a long time.

I understand. It's been so snowy and cold around here so long that yesterday in church, when they were asking for praise and prayers, I wanted to say "for the sunshine" but it seemed silly compared to what some people were saying. I'm just thrilled it's sunny.'Course, in a couple weeks I'll be wishing it were cooler. We humans are very finicky.

Yeah, we are. I am happiest at around 75. Of course, cooler weather that is going to keep me from paying for air conditioning this year is most welcome.

I like 65-70. I don't have air conditioning here, ugh, so it'll be a lot of open doors and fans for me.

Alright Daffy, it's been a long week and I'm gonna see if I can get a little extra sleep. Take care. Have a fun weekend!

Yeah, I like that too. Really, anything between 65 and 75 is fine by me. I can't live without AC. I have asthma and when it is hot and humid, I can't breathe. In Michigan, if its hot, its humid, guarantied.

Thanks. There is a certain person, who started the thread, that rather surprised me too. I try to be a nice person to everyone. I suppose some people bring the not-so-nice out of me though. Just a headds up, Duck won't be around until tonight. He works graveyard and comes on while he's at work.

Hey, you changed your picture!
I was only on a couple of minutes Wednesday and this is the first time I've checked back in since...how's it going for you?

When I lived in South Florida, I used to love standing out in the pouring rain.

When I was a little girl, I lived in Okinawa and when it rained, it was still warm, so I played in the rain all the time.

Its odd, but sometimes I really enjoy walking in adverse weather.

I do too! Sometimes it sort of cleanses ya of things. If I'm walking in bad weather, I start realizing the problems I have are not that bad and feel for the people who are homeless and have to be out in the weather.
Or sometimes I just daydream.

I like the rainbow after a rain - the sound of rain at night - thunder and lighting - rain smashing against the window - driving in a big rain storm. In Florida it rained the same time every day like clockwork. It was very refreshing. I like watching rain travel across a lake in patches. Does anyone use an unbrella? I dont.

i like umbrellas just for the sound of the rain hitting it

Not me. I like getting caught in it.

<quoted text>Where's Vidor, Texas at? I lived in Dallas many a year, actually seen a tornado above my head while I was in high school when I was sixteen. I moved from Oregon and we did not have tornados there, just mudslides like the time a mudslide buried some workers in Canyonville, Oregon. Crosses on the side of the mountain.

It is right across the Lousianne line. It's a hundrend miles east of Houston. It's a fourteen hour drive from Florida. We are seven miles west of Beaumont.

I'm still mostly taking a break. Sometimes I find topix too depressing. I don't think I've ever encountered so much meaness and arrogance as what I find on topix.

Hi Dryad I haven't read any of your posts but those on here but I find you to be a very pleasant person to read. I imagine you are strong in your beliefs or feeling about certain subject matters and that is what I love most about the people on Topix that they hold firm to what they belief in or believe to be. I hope to get to see more of you around Topix.

Your not alone! I love being in the rain and feeling against my face and skin. I love the way it smells when it wets the earth. I'm a big water baby love the water any way I can get it.

Doing ok. I came down with something yesterday. Headaches and all my joints ache. Not the best feeling.
I didn't get a notice that a new post was made. Sorry if this is real late.

Hi duk, sorry to see you have been under the weather! Hope you are doing better now.

One thing I like about my area in Tennessee is if it's very hot during the day it always cools off at night unlike Texas.

The farthest South I've been in Texas was in Corsicana.

We used to get snow here but it rarely does that, if it does it just snows about one inch, enough to irritate my toes.
Can you remember that big ice storm we had in Dallas, Texas? I think it was in (around) 1980. It was right after the Texas Heat Wave. I remember people wearing shirts that said "I survived the Texas Heat Wave". The last ice storm we had here in Tennessee was in 1993.
