Glad to see we made something besides the number #1 spot.
Hot time, summer in the city, back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty.

hmmmm......can't remember
Clearly the only reason that Atlanta is so far down is because everyone there is sitting inside an air-conditioned car instead of (*gasp*) walking anywhere!

Brings to mind a question: whats the best anti-perspirant/deodorant?
If Secret, Dove and Degree aren't working for ya what do you use? I'm asking for sam b/c she has summer gym now and so far the ones mentioned aren't controlling the perspiration.
This is next to try:

Mr. JR attended a wedding with me in my hometown in south ALA about 20 years ago in July. He still says to this day, that was the HOTTEST he has ever been in his entire life. Hot and humid (as in sweaty). It was sweltering. :shock:

Nobody will ever convince me that Houston is not the sweatiest, muggiest city in this country and probably gives Ho Chi Minh City a run for the sweatiest on Earth!

Been to Houston, Been to Nola and I still think Memphis is worse. We get no breeze at all.

Secret Clinical was no better for me than Degree--it just costs twice as much and leaves white residue on my clothes.
I use Mitchum unscented solid for men. It's the only thing that works these days. (The gel will work, too, but I don't like gooey stuff in my armpits, which is why I use antiperspirant in the first place.)

I don't care about no list...it's damm, pucking hot here!

After our weekly Target adventure, Sam decided to go with Dove Clinical Strength because she liked the cucumber green tea scent. I switch between Dove and Secret myself but the regular works for me. I hope this does work b/c your right NH it's expensive! $8 for the smaller size and $12 for the larger one! :shock:

Around here there is always this big debate about dry heat versus humid heat, here is an interesting article from one our papers.

Not surprised that Memphis is at #5. I'd believe it. The closest Florida town to the actual panhandle is Tallahassee. But we are near the top where crime is concerned.

I grew up in Tallahassee, trust me August was known as sin and suicide. The theory was you comitted a sin, killed yourself, and hell was a sweet release from the heat.
Tallahassee also has the unique daily afternoon thunderstorm that comes thru like a swiss train at 4:15pm, drops 1/4 inch of rain and then disappears at about 4:16pm. The sky clears the sun comes out and the whole town turns into the worlds largest sauna, complete with steam.
If he's dorming it he's in luck they all have air conditioning now. I used to work as a teenager in the summers painting them and 5 dorms at the time had no air conditioning. The really old dorms weren't bad as they were designed and built before air conditioning so they had high ceilings, dormers, and took advantage of the wind. However, the worst was built in the early 50's had 8 foot ceilings and little itty-bitty windows that hardly opened. It would get hot enough that during the summer we would have to leave the building due to safety concerns of the heat. They used to take the temp and once it hit 110 degrees we got to leave. It usually hit that temp about 11am.

swgb, that would be awful.
When we lived in Clearwater, that afternoon rain came thru the same way, then the unbelievable humidity. I never had a good hair day in all those years living there. At least we had breezes.

I forgot to mention move in day, if it was especially hot we'd wait until "dad" had gotten the window unit he bought at Home Depot installed before going up and taking it out while explaining that it was not permitted. We had to call the cops on several occasions. One guy told me his princess would not be sweating. I explained that we could remove it or she could enroll at another school.
Just a side note once assigned to one of the hot boxes the letter they got was written in 32-point bold type explaining no air conditioners. It was an annual tradition. Home Depot and Lowe's wouldn't put up signs because once installed the customer couldn't return it.
