fizzy water , tea , or other herbal infusions. are my favorites - plain water makes me thirstier sometimes. I need something slightly more acidic.Not much of a soda drinker-- and not crazy about artificial sweeteners.

We have had some of the new boxed wines. Way better than they used to be. and they really do keep. Not great wines, but tasty.

That did not do me right I tell you what.

If I had had alcohol that day, I probably would have ended up in the ER. My internal thermostat is very picky; apparently it prefers a narrow range of 70-80 degrees. And humidity? It doesn't like that shit AT ALL.

IIRC, Jess, didn't your DH get heat exhaustion that day, too?

I don't remember the exact year, but that sounds right. I was out of town for some reason (down in DC with my parents?) and he called me the next day to let me know he'd spent all night in the ER.

Seriously, it took me an hour to figure out that I need to order baked goods, coffee and juice for 12.

I am Steph wrt heat.

Also, longnecks are the safest thing to be drinking from when one is in a situation where one needs to be watching out for dosing.

Yikes! I don't think I've ever thought about that in a bar.

It's more prevalent at shows, though M did recently have to deal with a girl getting dosed at his bar. (A baseball bat got involved really quickly.) People really do suck, and often.

Eeep. The has risen high in the sky and is beating down on our cube farm. Everybody is hunched under their umbrella squintywise trying to read their screens.

I did try to drink some water through the day, which meant that I didn't die. But I did acquire an incredibly nasty UTI as a result.

It was too hot to stay sober! Jesus. I remember going to a party that my cousin/roommate's boyfriend was having with his 5 roommates and just being so hot it was like an out of body experience.

I definitely remember the summer of 2002 because that's when Tom and I first hooked up. That's why I'm so sure of the year. Tom was *not* at this sketch-ass twenty-something frat style party, because he's no fool!

Tea is not nast! It's not like it's coffee or something!

I am Tom. I love tea, but not hot, though I will drink it that way on a cold day. Favorite thing? Iced tea. I also am a huge fan of an Arnold Palmer.

Don't drink soda, except for Ginger Ale or an Italian Cream Soda. Don't drink coffee (blech). Love milk, but it's too high in calories, fat and carbs these days.

AP calls it: AP tally: Obama has enough delegates to clinch nomination

Rumor has it that Hillary is dropping out. Other rumors say she's staying in 'til the convention in August. Also, apparently Obama will claim the nomination in the next few days.

It's like Joe Vs. the Volcano without the flourecent lights!
