Being hot in the shade or inside might be helped by taking off clothes but not outside in the sun. I can tell you from experience, when it's 115C in the shade and over 50% humidity you don't go out without your shirt on - particularly in the sun. Were you ON the sun? 115C?

says... There is a lot of home building going on near me. Many of the workers are Mexican, as are many of the landscape people. I don't recall ever seeing one shirtless. Most working outside have wide brim hats too, no backwards ball caps. Only shirtless person I see is my scrawny gringo next door neighbor. Most people in the know that work outside in the sun will have cloths on that cover all the skin but the face and a hat with a large brim. That isnt the way we do it here and we have the skin cancer stats to prove it. It doesn't appear to be true of Cindy's landscapers either. Except for the Arabs that still cover all the skin as much as possiable. Why the except ? Is there a typo somewhere ? Even the old farmers will be dressed the same way. A mate of mine did say he was amazed that some of the ag labourers here used to wear full heavy jumpers in the middle of our summer when working in the fields, mostly harvesting wheat and rice and stuff like that. Never saw that myself. It may be hot, but beats getting sun burned You don't get sunburned if you do it all the time and start doing it when its warm enough. and possiable skin cancer at later years. Not just possible, certain. I don't have any on my upper body or arms or legs, only on my head and ears. I always hated hats and never wore them. |

Sociopath tries to come across not as a sociopath ...but FAILS! Sorry, Rodent, but your kind NEVER can hide what you are!

Words out of order, slight mispelling or two words that are pronounced the same but spelled different, commas in the wrong place, and many other things can cause confusion. And it isnt always obvious how others can interpret what you have said. Just recently I said in another group that apple sells discounted obsolete iphones. I never said that apple does that thru their apple store or physical stores but some insist that I did say that. In fact they actually do that thru our equivalent of your USPS amongst others and MVNOs in your country. |
