No joke, I saw for sale the other day a cleavage cooler. Covered in cloth with a gel middle, you freeze it and slip it in on a hot day, supposed to cool you down instantly....I laughed. $25 bucks! I kept my $25 bucks!

Where did you see the cleavage cooler? I want one for my mom. She has no cleavage, though, but maybe it'll still work for her hot flashes.

the best any of my docs could come up with is that I run hot because of my super-speed metabolism. I got some sort of cloth snake looking thing that my dad says the forest fire fighters have used which has something inside it which when soaked in water stays cool tied around your neck or whatever all day! Haven't tried it yet but its getting hotter every day!!

Last summer... I began to sweat more than I ever have in my whole life!!! It was awful... I'd sweat.. dripping sweat.. just for taking the dogs out for a pee.

Meds can do that? I mean... we've already seen 100 degrees here and several 90's. I am thinking that THIS year I'll pay the $$ and set my cooler at 70. Geeeesh.

It could be meds????? (I'd so much rather blame it on meds than my weight!! LOL)
