Friday Five: Temperature/Climate (11.13.09)

Standard

1) Which one is more irritating- being too hot or being too cold?
Being too hot, definitely.   With cold you can always put on more clothes.   With hot you can only take off so much.  And since I’ve always hated shorts, caps, and I’m not one to have my shirt off, I hate when it’s too hot.  It’s hard to breathe, it makes you spend money (ice cream, juices, etc), the town is crowded with everyone being out.  It’s just horrible.  Not saying that cold is good (and I live in Michigan) but it’s a lot better than too hot.

2) Were you born in the winter or the summer?
I was born in the middle of summer JULY.  Growing up I think there was only 1 or 2 birthday party days that had cloudy weather (but by no means bad).  I I had b-day parties until 24 (for as long as I can remember I never wanted one at least since junior high years)

3) What are your favourite foods to eat when you need to warm up and cool down?
To cool down: COLD water, juice (please no soda, I don’t like soda).  But in hot weather I have no desire to eat food, just to have something light and cold.

To warm up: that’s a little bit harder.  Since it takes more to heat up but a good light (and I mean light, I’m not a fan of soups) soup.  Hot chocolate is really not my thing (My wife likes it and tea – I haven’t drank tea in ages) unless I’m at a camp-out with others.  but a good veggie-mail should do the trick.

4) Which one are you more likely to suffer from- hayfever or flu- and does it run in your family?
Had to look up online what Hay-fever is.  But From the those two, I’m more likely hay-fever (from the symptoms chart as least).  Because usually my thing is with nasal dripping when I get sick.  (I saw that is says due to allergies and pollen)  If that’s true I got allergies my last year at Southern.  I  lived in basement with no windows and it was a magnet for dust.

5) You are granted a day of perfect weather whenever you like. What day do you place it on and why?
70-75 degree temperature.  I place it on Monday, generally my day off.  Fewer people at places, unfortunately your friends etc are at work.
