    Antarctica?   New Zealand? Australia is your geographical location not your intellectual capability/potential. Thank you for your reply Sbf and Happy Tuesday! :) Today's high in Hemet, California will be 109. Is it YOUR winter? What's your weather gonna be like today?

    Too dam* cold! 
    Some people find a minimum of 5C/41F quite balmy. I think they're barmy, a max of 19C/66F is chilly. 43C/109F is a little warmer than comfortable but too hot is better than too cold imo.

    Wanna trade my friend? Seriously! Tomorrow is the first day of summer in our part of the hemisphere and 109 is gonna be the high? Who is the joker here? What happens when we hit July/August? I don't wanna know!  I'm skeered! :(

    If it's someone I feel is going to get really upset or angry if the conversation continues, I just indicate that we should agree to disagree.

    Right and MOVE ON to something else. If the person refuses to budge I clam up/leave/withdraw/tune out! Thank you for your reply Spunky and Happy Tuesday. Today's high here in Hemet, California will be 109. I hope you're gonna be cooler!

    Once you've exhausted all your points, if they can't see it from your point of view (not necessarily agreeing with you), then you just go around in circles.  We had two major thunderstorms yesterday, so we're in the mid-80s today with lower humidity.  Better than yesterday, but I like ti around 75 tops. :)

    The moron who insists the Sandyhook tragedy was staged so that gun legislation could be enacted. What garbage! There are lots of Alex Jones' sadly Ele. We need to rid the species of them. They keep having kids who are stupid like them and so on and so on and so on. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)

    I'm guessing this is where your patience kicks in. You can remain unemotional and just enjoy the spectacle! Would that I could! I just get annoyed which turns to frustration which turns to aggravation. I gotta get out before Bad Rosie shows up. She gets REALLY ANGRY and ya never know what she'll come up with! Thank you for your reply tom!  :)

    So you are able to stay on an even keel then and not get ticked off/pi**ed off majorly? Good for you cp. That's not me. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thee! :)
