    The heat is on. Unfortunately, I can't stand the heat. It's already 100 degrees in the sun on my sister's pool deck(9:30 am). I will probably spend a good part of the day either in the car, in an air conditioned Mall or in the pool. The other day I had a negative reaction to a new...

    How many females, as compared to males are there on this board? Another member asked a similar question in another post. Data from an older demographics survey were given, but I think that has changed, I think there are less. Here is a new poll.
