i remind myself
ladies don’t sweat
as i sit
and perspire

🙂 You are a lady, after all:)
LOL
You need a mint julep Miss Melanie – fiddle dee dee:)
😀 too funny! The line that has always stood out in my memory from that movie is “Miss Melly, Miss Melly, I don’t know nuthin’ bout birthin no babies!”
90 degrees? Seriously? That is all?? Here it has touched 46 degrees C, or 115 degrees in American measure! Sweat away !
LOL oh yeah the heat is just starting don’t worry June, July August will increase. I will feel and share your pain 🙂
How does it go? Horses sweat, men perspire and women glisten. Do you feel better now? You were only glistening, you still get a heat rash but you’re only glistening. 😉
LOL we are only getting started in the summer temps so i guess i have a lot of “glistening” ahead! LOL
Glisten like you’ve never glistened before Melanie. 😉
Then I’m no lady! 🙂
LOL!! Me neither 😉
We all glow, perspire and really SWEAT – and ladies don’t escape!! 😉 I hope you are coping ok in that heat Melanie, I’ll command a cool wind to slowly work it’s way towards you! 🙂
Thank you dear.
Here in Japan, deodorant is sparsely used. “Women don’t sweat” is a joke amongst the ladies here, always said with a sneer and sideways glance. That line really got my giggle. 😀
🙂 I’m glad!
