the heat of summer

i hate it.

rain doesn't help, just makes things humid.

fed up with blogthings

for nearly as long as i've had this blog i've been doing blogthing quizzes. last month they didn't have the title of the result of the one i did for my birthday. this month they didn't have what the result means for the one i did for my brother's birthday! i've tried other quizzes, i even tried doing them on chrome.
bbcode doesn't work here the code for live journal & word press is the same (without what the result means) basically it's usellee!

i'm quitting them after this round of birthday stuff (unless something changes) because i can use the html template from mine to fill in stuff.

"You Are a Philosopher"

You're incredibly introverted and introspective. You live inside your head. You spend a lot of alone time meditating and thinking. People see you as withdrawn, and at times they are right. You are caring and deep, but it may be difficult for you to show this side of yourself. Your strength: Your original approach to thinking Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others Your power color: Pale blue Your power symbol: Wavy line Your power month: July

You Can Be Deeply Passionate Sometimes

You tend to be a very social person. You live for your friends and family. You can get social burnout occasionally though. You aren't a total extrovert. You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over. You are deeply passionate about several things in your life. You're not passionate about much... and the few passions you have are truly obsessions. Your sense of humor is sarcastic, snarky, and realistic. You're not exactly happy-go-lucky.

The Beach Test

the last part sounds like me. (a note: the HTML don't have the title, but the BB code does. if you do HTML you have to put the title of the result in yourself)

PSA: heat exaustion vs. heat stroke

(originally posted on 7-21-16)

since it will get hotter before it gets cooler, especially in the south & southwest, this is info people need.

HEAT EXHAUSTION 
feeling faint or dizzy
excessive sweating
cool, pale, clammy skin
nausea or vomiting
rapid, weak pulse
muscle cramps
treatment: get to a cool, air conditioned place. drink water if fully conscious. take a cool shower or use cool compresses. (i suggest using them around your neck or on the inside of your wrists, where the blood vessels or arteries are close to the surface.)

HEAT STROKE 
throbbing headache
no sweating
body temperature above 103 F (39.4 C)
red, hot, dry skin
nausea or vomiting
rapid, strong pulse
may lose consciousness
treatment: CALL 911 (or whatever equivalent is in your country) take immediate action to cool the person until help arrives. (i suggest providing shade, maybe getting them inside if they're on hot cement & use cool compresses on them)

summer heat

is upon us once again.

and there will be rain from the latest hurricane this weekend.
