So freaking hot! What do u do 2 cool down?
I feel asleep for a short while after eating an amazing indian curry! Now, normally at this time, especially after a flight, I'd be out for the whole evening!
Unfortunately, I woke up just now as it's too freaking hot!
I have the air con on full blast in my bedroom, the hall and the lounge, but it's still too hot!
Someone told me today it gets to an addition 10 degrees more!
Please, please, please share your secrets on how you guys cool yourselves down when you feel like this!
Thanks
An ice bath and lying in the freezer come to mind, but please don't do it for too long, because things shrivel.
DG the problem is he eat all alone without inviting his friends

TCOM, you beat me to it. QT, are you mad??? Eating spicy curry and wondering why you can't cool down lol.
BTW, laban is like buttermilk. You can get it full-fat, lo-fat or skimmed varities. A popular brand is Al Marai. Found in refridgerated section next to the milk. Delicious and good for the digestion.

QT, are you sure ur A/C is cooling properly?
Maybe it needs service?
About cool shower- turn off the water heater in ur bathroom. it will cool down in the container-also, put the fan on in the bathroom.
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
...whatever that is in fahreinheit
actually it shows 75 degree.. not sure how it's cold for you... but for me...i just opened the window behind me to let in some warm stream..lol..
RP- hmm walking naked in Antartica for one week ya say??uhuh and before ya know it watever ya got would've shrivelled and fallen off...........ouch! (jk)
ok i am off to bed now 'night night all'(only slept 1.35 hrs last night>yawns
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
:-)
and I AM BLOODY FREEZING!! I have 3 (THREE!) layers on my, and still feel uncomfortable...
lol
QT, someone stole my camels! Help.... it's blooming hot here too!
To Beer or not To Beer thats the question ;)
Beeerrrrrr thats the answer
Wear your shorts, drink lots of water in a tall glass full of fresh ice, then blast the fan at high, sitting right above the Air condition. Then you will be chilled.
Since you like to travel take a flight to Antarctica and walk naked there for one week. That will cool you down.
Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.

Its best to keep you cool down
salt to prevent from dehydration
al-marayee is a food brand like Nadec
Thanks Novi
laban is plain yoghurt drink (i think).
:-)
Dont drink cold drinks.
the better thing to do is buy laban al-marayee or any one you like, drink it , best is to mix it with water/milk and a pinch of salt ; put some ice. drink it and you feel much more cooler.
plus you wont gain weight.
and drink 2-3 glass of it every day. you will get cool down.
Camels? Nope it didn't work. Indian curry... Nope, it didn't work either. OK, I'll think of something else then. :)
Corne, what morals and principles? If I tell people what you did to poor little me growing up, you'll be sorry!
Even you must remember how it is to be nice to people! ...think back 18 years!
How can an EVIL person be NICE ?? It would go against all my morals and principles!

After reading your thread again, I think I've found the solution for you: Since you said you fell asleep after eating an amazing Indian curry, why don't you have another go at it. In this way, you'd probably fall asleep again and won't realise how warm it actually is. Just a thot..... :)
:-P
Spicemom, I hear you load and clear! ...and agree! lol

Thats the problem with houses in Qatar... all the rooms are carpeted... Well in India once when it got really hot we just started throwing water at each other in the house... my dad was furious coz ther was water everywhere but then again it was too hot, i know its crazy and theres furniture but its just water and its very hot it'll dry up:)

I've taking a shower, but the water is still warm.
I've even tried ice cubes but they melt straight away, plus I have to save some for the vodka! LOL

its too freaking hot man,my kids freak out they cant handle it, Its nice suggestion to wait until it gets cold but ive got kids, i cant afford to leave a bath in the water, and our locks on the bathroom dont work, amongst many other things in this place..
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
Take a bath.
During this summertime when the water is also almost boiling hot, I put lots of ice cubes in a big pail of water.
Try it, it will refresh you.
