I was down in Bayou La Batre last weekend for some fun mission work… 🙏✝️🥰 Y’all have a different heat down there! 🥵🥵🥵

Yes- I've heard it referred to as hotter than 7 hells.

Thank you, Beckadee. The "hotter than 7 hells" part of your comment triggered a GOOD memory about my late daughter (it's a long story 😆) and me. I had a particularly hard day yesterday; my grief was pulling up memories of some of the unhappier, so to speak, times in her difficult life. I asked God why I couldn't get some of the happier memories for a change. Your comment triggered one of those memories, and I sat here and laughed and laughed (instead of crying and crying like yesterday). So, thank you for being God's agent today. He sure does work in mysterious ways! 😊❤️

Awww, that made me tear up a bit. I’m glad you received some good memories. God answered your prayer through Beckadee. May your day continue to bring you laughter.

Awe that makes me happy. I've never heard that phrase from any southerner. First heard it from a leftist leaning Vancouver dude.

LOL Coastal NC here, and we use it on the regular. It is particularly fitting here in August.

Three years ago was our first time down to Bayou La Batre… In June… Heat index was 108° while we were running around doing projects for our stateside missions. Some of our number got sick from the heat. It was definitely different… 😱🥵

But we absolutely love it down there! Such wonderful, resilient people live down there… Just finished our 19th trip down… 🎉🎉🎉

We connected last year when you said you go down to Bayou La Batre. I don't go there but have friends who do to get fresh seafood and oysters directly off the boats! I recently met one of the city council members who works for Roto Rooter and he was very nice.

I’ve heard some transplanted Michiganders say it gets hot and humid in Michigan as well, and then you have the winters to contend with.

Maybe they’re just trying to make themselves feel better about the move.

It gets really hot and horribly humid in the Eastern Midwest. Trees are beautiful, provide wonderful shade, and can help cool, but they're also part of the reason for the humidity.

I think if I were able to be any place I wanted now, it would be Montana for the summer, Key West for the winter.

I would never have guessed your summers would be that hot.
