Members shared their favorite ways to beat the heat, with staying indoors in air conditioning being the most common approach across the board. Several members described keeping cool with ice cream, cold drinks, frozen neck rings, lukewarm showers, and light meals like salads and sandwiches to avoid using the oven. A recurring theme was finding joy in simple pleasures like beach trips, museum visits, libraries, thrift stores, and early morning outdoor chores before the heat peaks.

Most of you will probably hate me, but I'm not bothered by the heat. It's been in the high 80's to 90's with high humidity. I have the air conditioner on for my dog, Rose.
All I have to do is think about winter and the heat doesn't feel bad at all. I hate winter.
But, I do emphasize with you all.
Have a wonderful day.
