Our first house was in Richland Hills and the whole neighborhood had one entrance and all the streets were like a rabbit warren. I had to naviagate people through 2 road splits. We lived on Richland Drive and the 2nd split - the road split into Richland Drive and Richland Drive.

No matter how clear I was on the directions, people always got lost.

I see you are in Phoenix. I used to live there. That city is a perfect grid as far as streets go, eggcept for Grand Ave. I used to live in Glendale too. You CAN NOT get lost in Phoenix

I was stuck in Phoenix for a weekend once - in July! OMG it was ridiculous! Dry heat my butt!

The first time I visited my parents in Phoenix - we went in July when I was 6 months pregnant.

I have never been so hot in my life!

*boohoo*

No sympathy from this corner.

The last time I was preggers, I was 8 months along during monsoon season. A big storm came through, knocked over the power lines, set the backyard on fire, and killed huge blocks of the city's power grid. My work lost power so I couldn't even go there for relief. The malls too! Nowhere to go. I think it was 117 with the humidity at 65%? Bleh.

I went 4 days without power while SOOOOO FAT. There was jigglies sticking to other jigglies and cankles the size of elephant feet. It was awful.

I was delivering to a grocery warehouse there and had to sit and wait to be unloaded. The air, running full blast, in the truck and the dog and I were still dying. I got out of the truck and felt like I had been in a food dehydrator! The dry heat thing is a scam. Yeah, it's dry cause you look like beef jerky after 10 minutes of being out in it!

The dry heat thing is a scam.

Only people from outside the valley say this. Or non-natives. It is so they can feel "tougher" while they are melting in a pile sticky Louisiana swamp-patootie.

I have no idea how people function in humidity. I give mad props to those folks. Or *shudder* those who live where it snows.​

I'm pregnant again and I'll be sure to stay FAR from Phoenix for the remainder of the pregnancy.

No need for apologies, Darlin! It's all in good fun and I certainly wasn't offended in the least.

I forgot about nursing babies in the summer! That is pretty miserable. My husband grew up in PA, so he can't stand the heat in VA (much less AZ), so he usually keeps the house just above "meat locker" in the summer, so I don't usually have much to complain about here.

No..
After about 6 hours of heat and almost blacking out in one line I went to the little theater and watched black and white cartoons for a couple hours while everyone else did their thing. My SO sat with me though..

snow bites! I was up in PA and we had 41" of snow in February. It was ridiculous. Give me the humidity any time.
