Sally, I agree with Andy Fox when he said you need to chill out! I'm WELL past 20 & MAYBE I don't do cannonballs or swing on a rope swing much any more (but then again maybe I do), but I still love swimming in a nice clean river or creek. It's not only relaxing & cooling but also takes me back to a much different time when both I & the world were younger. My own personal experience has also taught me that living in a huge city isn't very conducive to creek/river swimming & not everyone is as fortunate as I am to live in a rural state with clean water for swimming or boating. Also, even though I own an A/C unit, I rarely use it unless the temps get into the 90s & then it's to help remove the humidity more than anything else. And, lastly, my husband was a Texan & they are definitely "meat & potatoes" type of guys there! He at first questioned the switch to "salad night" atleast once or twice a week during Summer heat but he adjusted & it didn't kill either of us. In fact, it's actually part of a healthy lifestyle & helps start the process of shedding extra unnecessary pounds. You should atleast try some of the article's suggestions...after all, what have you got to lose except having to suffer less & perhaps feeling more energized like you perhaps used to when younger & thinner. Otherwise, all I can say is Heaven help you & yours if the power grid ever does go down in your neighborhood! I for one practice most of the steps outlined in the article simply because I HATE handing my hard earned money over to the greedy, overpriced utility company!!
