Was just listening to the conversation about dry skin, and staying hydrated. I normally drink a gallon of water a day, and have a much harder time in the winter with the colder weather. Even in the summer with the air conditioning, I get cold. One thing I do is fill a pitcher and leave it to come to room temperature, which helps a lot. The other thing I’ve done more recently is invest in an electric kettle. I can set the temperature at whatever temperature I want, and set it to hold there if I choose for an hour. Room temperature is normally around 68-70, and the body runs at about 96-97, so with a difference of at least 26 degrees with each glass of water, even if you’re doing 32-64 ounces per day, you’re making yourself cold! Warming up your water to at least your own body temperature can help, but more like 150-18 is even better. an added benefit – I don’t have cold hands or feet either!
Now that’s interesting. I’m always cold in the winter but I always drink Diet Pepsi and other liquids on ice. Hmmmmm. Maybe my constant chill is my own fault. Wheels spinning. Thanks,
Gary
I love my Diet Pepsi too! But I never do it over ice, and in restaurants, I order my drinks without ice as well. At home I usually have a cup of coffee or hot water and a cold Diet Pepsi. The Diet Pepsi has to be in the car, as the cans get colder than the plastic bottles. I know all sorts of weird. But there’s not watering down of the beverage then. And I also have a mug warmer to keep my hot drinks at just the right temperature too. And then there are the multiple different types of blankets, including the heated throw blanket…
Hope you’re well Gary! We miss you at Fox.
Listening to the bit about needlepoint on slate frames – yes, at the RSN you do use the slate frame for canvaswork too! It’s hard on the fingers, attaching it, but it does give you great tension.
