  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IJWTS- The heat is really getting to me. It was so bad that I could not function for the meetings today. I had to drink a lot of water just to get through it, and now I felt really faint. Its so bad. I feel like there is no air to breath.
Ethie, I'm so sorry you're in the hottest place in Cali right now. I prayed for your safety today. I hope it cools off.

Thank you Keri, I hope so too. I still my breathing is not normal. So, I'm in my bed. I can handle heat but this is so bad. I feel like I'm in a box without any air. :(

It's a shock when you're not used to it, but as long as you aren't out running marathons without water in that heat, it'll likely be fine.

I would also like to say y'all should pray for the entire Phoenix metropolitan area all summer. It gets over 110 degrees twenty days a year in Phoenix. ;) :p

A few tips:
*Do try to avoid going out as much as you can during the hottest part of the day.
*Put some gloves in your car so you don't get second or third degree burns from the seat belt. Your steering wheel may also be too hot to touch.
*Park somewhere shaded if possible. Shade trumps distance from a/c.
*Don't turn the a/c in your car on high until you've gone a mile or two, otherwise your a/c will blast out 150 degree air.
*Breathing does get labored when you're in a car that has been sitting in 110+ temps in the direct sun for hours. It'll cool down and you'll be able to breathe soon.
*Don't leave anything remotely sticky or meltable in your car, including but not limited to lotion, chapstick, chocolate, and DVDs.

Anyone else for tips for surviving 113 degrees? :holy:

Thank you for the tips Scraparcs, I know LA is not as hot as Phoenix, but I live in the valley, which means summers are just horrible, but these few days, its unbearable. I am really used to heat. I can handle it very well, but this is not normal.

Yesterday at 113 it was even worse then ever.

Thanks for the tips. I know it got 109 in SLO yesterday. The temps are normally in the 70's here in the summer and the occasional hot days never get above te 90's. So, there are a lot of people here without a/c in their houses because it's simply not needed. So for those of us without a/c it really is too hot to even be inside. My mother and I had to go shopping and to a movie in order to stay cool on Sunday and I was thankfully indoors all day at class yesterday. Most coastal Californians simply aren't used to or prepared for this kind of freakish weather.
