Guest ellie2 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi there. Just wondering how you all cope with the humidity in Qld, been here 10 months now and thought I was on the way to being acclimatised, but how wrong was I, Its been so humid and I feel I am not coping at all with it, been sitting here tonight with air con on for 4 hours and its lovely but as soon as its switched off its to bloody hot again :arghh: is it just me or does it effect you all.

Guest brooksey Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Theres no way i could live without aircon. I'd rather have it than a pool or any other creature comfort. Its another way for kid and wife to waste money by having aircon on and door open:arghh:. Cut grass for a couple of hours this morning and lost about two stone of sweat. Somethings would be murder without it:Randy-git: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PommyPaul Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 My approach has been to not have the air con on in the car however hot it is, even when stuck in traffic. Leave the air con off at home untill the moment you goto bed, no matter how much you sweat. Basically don't fight it and your body will eventually get used too it, it might take awhile though! Also helps to be a manual labourer, i work 5 days a week in it from 7am - between 330-530pm, its not uncommon for me to drink 6 litres of water during the day and still feel thristy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do try to only put the aircon on at night, during the day just sweat and have no energy to do anything, just hope that I eventually get used to it, but for the moment roll on winter!!!!

Guest earlswood Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Humidity is horrible and unhealthy for the body if no fluids are taken on....just make sure you drink loads of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PommyPaul Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 its nice at given moments, no its not nice when you're fighting with the kids in the supermarket carpark. Yes its nice when you're kicking back in the lounger near the beach. The thing is this is where we live and if you're just hunting for negatives it'l drag you down and make you into a negative posting quiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olly Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 And my daughters expect me to cook a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings:nah: I dont think so!!!!!!!!! Christine My mum never got over this dilemna for 50 years, she insisted on the whole deal every xmas. One day the family suggested we have a cold seafood buffet for xmas - her reaction was so bad that we never ever mentioned it again!!!!!!! We still have the full deal on xmas day, even though she's not here anymore. Old habits die hard. Ceiling fans are the best, especially in bed at night, they are surprisingly cool on low with a sheet just over you. We even have them here down south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brooksey Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'll give Earlswood 6 months till he's back:yes: As for Christmas dinner we've ordered a tukey buff(crown) and a piece of silverside. Karens going to cook it early morning then we're off to beach then eat it warmed up later in evening. Did i mention it's my 40th on Christmas day:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
