Well, it's definitely been HOT in northern Louisiana.  With a heat index that's miserable.  We've had a relief the past few days of where it's only in the mid-80's. But that won't last long.

Getting out just to go to the grocery store or Walgreens is very draining.

A man I went to school with in the dinosaur days died last week.  He worked in the heat too long and got violently sick.  He went home and tried to take a shower to cool off but it was too late.  He collapsed and died in the shower.  His 7-year-old grandson found him dead.  At least someone had taught the boy how and who to call if something is wrong.

Extreme heat is nothing to play with.

Nothing.  :laugh:

I live in the desert southwest so the high summer temps are normal this time of year. I do things the same way I always do: get up early and get the errands, car maintenance, etc. out of the way before it gets really hot, and spend the hot part of the day inside, then possibly come outside in the evening like the rest of the desert critters.  

Spending the hot part of the day inside the home down here in Texas is called la siesta. Snoozzzing.
I always try to abide by the local customs.   "Vamos a la casa fresca"

:laugh:   I hear that.

Some relatives from cold country asked my how I was dealing with the heat on Skype. I told them it was 112 outside and a comfortable 80 inside, so the heat of the day wasn't a problem. The look on their face? Priceless.  :)

If u r over fifty years n u drink cold water n hv a cold shower after having a sport or muscle work in a hot day, you Will almost certainly die at the shower because ur veins Will suddenly shrink, thats why many people died on the shower or just after that.

Might want to reconsider.

Heatstroke
treatment centers on cooling your body to a normal temperature to prevent or reduce damage to your brain and vital organs.
To do this, your doctor may take these steps:

  • Immerse you in cold water. A bath of cold or ice water has been proved to be the most effective way of quickly lowering your core body temperature. The quicker you can receive cold water immersion, the less risk of death and organ damage.
  • Use evaporation cooling techniques. If cold water immersion is unavailable, health care workers may try to lower your body temperature using an evaporation method. Cool water is misted on your body while warm air is fanned over you, causing the water to evaporate and cool your skin.
  • Pack you with ice and cooling blankets. Another method is to wrap you in a special cooling blanket and apply ice packs to your groin, neck, back and armpits to lower your temperature.
  • Give you medications to stop your shivering. If treatments to lower your body temperature make you shiver, your doctor may give you a muscle relaxant, such as a benzodiazepine. Shivering increases your body temperature, making treatment less effective.

Treatment for Heat Exhaustion

If you, or anyone else, has symptoms of heat exhaustion, it's essential to immediately get out of the heat and rest, preferably in an air-conditioned room. If you can't get inside, try to find the nearest cool and shady place.

Other recommended strategies include:

  • Drink plenty of fluids, especially sports drinks to replace lost salt (avoid caffeine and alcohol).
  • Remove any tight or unnecessary clothing.
  • Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath.
  • Apply other cooling measures such as fans or ice towels.

Same here in Texas. Had a cool front last few days and has only reached to mid nineties, nights in low seventies.
Were about to get the sweaters,  but now the suns back in full force.

Years ago I spent a week in Acapulco Mexico and was shocked to see that this Siesta stuff was serious stuff.....almost everything was closed from 1 to 4 in the afternoon....I soon understood why.....Our Mexican friends showed wisdom in that tradition......

Inside or outside in hot weather -- hydrate hydrate hydrate.

Learn the warning signs of heat exhaustion and when it progresses far  enough that you should seek emergency treatment. 

Remember that pets do not sweat. They lack an ability to cool off the way humans do.They can suffer too from the heat.

I live in phoenix arizona, where temps exceed 100 for several months. It was somewhere around 114 today. We survive by being smart about the heat (mostly) but people and pets die too often. 

Tricks I use to keep cool-ish. If outside, use any scrap of shade you can. Cotton clothes breathe better than synthetics.  I use a hand fan and that helps me a lot. Your neck and head radiate heat, which is why you keep it warm in winter. So keep it cool in summer. Damp bandanas around the neck help if you are outside. No air conditioner? If you have an electric fan, a bowl of ice in front of it will cool the air a few degrees.

We have gone to drive in movies in mid summer when it is still 100 degrees at midnight. We have an ice chest between us with ice in it. A ziplock of ice around our upper body helps keep us cool too.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
