@PaganMother Your profile header looks like my Discover Card with better color saturation and lower brightness levels in the shadows. I like your version better, but at least when people see my Discover Card I get the occasional, "Ooh, pretty," or "I love your card design!" --similarly surprising responses to when I where the PRIDE mask Mom bought me to show me she was cool with who and what I am.

And, now, I'm going to go try to get some sleep before my brother-in-law gets up to cook us breakfast. :)

This is Southcentral Michigan's current temp. Note the time. Hasn't changed, even though it is now 0406.

Please remember, that if you spend anytime outside and it is over 96º F, you need to drink more water than you think. If you feel thirsty, go inside cool down and drink water. Heat stress happens long before you get thirsty. Heat stress can quickly turn into heat stroke, which can kill you. In heat stress, it takes 20 minutes for hydration to make any difference in your body, and in that time you could go into heat shock.

Best advice. Sip water continually.
Pedialyte is your friend.

If you go out in heat & feel exhausted when you get inside:

1. Drink 8-oz water in small sips to gently cool body.
2. Drink 4 oz fruit juice, fruit smoothie, or--better yet--Gatorade/Powerade. You need to replenish electrolytes because they left in sweat.
3. Dampen a washcloth or small towel with cool water. Sit where you can lay head comfortably on arms. Put the cloth on back of neck until refreshed.
4. Drink more water gradually, not exceeding 80 oz.
5. ALCOHOL WORSENS DEHYDRATION. AVOID IT.

New folks

I appreciate you being here and sharing.
Just a tip.
Many of us here will not click on a stand alone link. For security reasons.
I do trust you, this is just a good security habit.
May I suggest you add a bit of context. Perhaps a headline, and the name of the source. To go alone with the link. This will greatly increase the number of people who read said link.

Thanks.

@AutismMom Yep, and 3 of them were from Michigan. They were blocking the street, which is an offense punishable by law in DC. I would protest that they were arrested without being given a warning first.

@Jezibaba Somebody better get to work on a secure digital voter system, then, so the need for paper votes is much less!

Just had to get on and say hi before saying goodnight. Sorry it wasn't with more cheerful stuff. Got an appointment tomorrow over the phone, and Mom has three she has to drive to. My brother-in-law is strongly urging her to let him drive her, but they're all medical appointments save one, and it's going to be waaay too hot for him to sit and wait in the vehicle. She doesn't want him to drive her, but she sucks at self advocation. Gonna have to remind her in the morning, methinks. Nite all!

My brother-in-law has, I must say, been mostly inobtrusive and very helpful. I still find myself looking forward to the days when it's once more just Mom and me, so we don't have to shut the doors for privacy and don't have to wait until he's busy to take our showers because we know how he feels about people with obesity issues. We know he loves Mom, but he was still telling "funny" stories about "fat people" in his first days here before Dad's service.

I'm gonna go do some photo editing--something I find very therapeutic and have been missing terribly while away from my computer.

@ContentWarningVirusB42 Probably an age gap and/or difference in multimedia appreciation. Glee, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), Lord of the Rings, Resident Alien, and Lucifer (Netflix).
