For all of you ladies out there who are still flashing away, I thought you might find this amusing...
I had lunch this afternoon with a gal a tad younger that me (who isn't  ?) and couple of professional gentleman (you know, suits, starched shirts) and as we got deeper into conversation which was quite the debate, I noticed that her neck and face were getting redder and redder and yep you guessed it, sweat started pouring from her face and neck! I felt so bad for her, I used to just HATE when that happened to me!!Well, she calmly stood up, removed her jacket and looked the men straight in the eyes and said: "oh, don't mind me, I am just enjoying my own personal summer!" and she proceeded to mop her brow and continued the conversation......   I applauded!Attitude is everything ladies, no? -------------------- Crazy in CA
Be kind to everyone you meet for you do not know the challenge they face today |

My and to be so casual about it..now me..Id say, "Is it hot in here or just me?" or "Would you please turn the a/c up please?" But then thats just me
 Yes Provo I remember hearing about you driving home that way...what a reaction hub must have had. "Is she hot or overheated????" Keeping the humor in it all can help us, well make it easier, survive ths mess!!!
