Last night I was feeling rather strange, and so I told Other Half.
‘I’m feeling a bit strange’, I said.
OH asked me in what way I felt strange.
‘I feel so hot!’ I said.
He reached over to put an arm reassuringly around my shoulders and jumped back.
‘Wow, you ARE hot!’ he said, not at all reassuringly. ‘You’re hot to the touch!!’ And he looked at me, awed.
I was not reassurred.
‘I feel as if I’m about to spontaneously combust!’ I moaned.
OH looked at me.
I looked at him.
‘Shame I won’t be able to burst into flames and leave just my shoes behind,’ I offered.
‘Why is that?’ he enquired.
‘I’m not wearing any!’
‘You’d better go and put some on at once!’ he said sternly.
I thought for a while.
‘But isn’t it supposed to rain herrings first?’
He thought for a while.
‘I don’t believe that was forecast,’ he said, ‘so it looks like you’ll have to wait’.
Call me picky, but I’d hoped for a little more sympathy … and today I find this, on his blog!
You just wait, Mr Yellow Swordfish! Come the winter when your hands turn white and the Headsokz come out of hiding, I’ll remember this.
Ha!
“‘I feel so hot!’ I said.”
Jay, this was your first mistake. You give a guy this kind of line, even if it is your hubby, and his John Thomas is going to salute the flagpole and think something different altogether.
Now, if he buys you a fire extinguisher as a birthday gift, I shall be looking for his obituary in the Sun, Daily Mail, or other such fine publication under “News Of The Weird.”
Oh, and I do hope you’re feeling better.
Mr. Nighttimes last blog post..Giving a good friend a boost!
Just make him walk up the shops when it is raining and windy, he used to hate having to walk to Asda in Corby in the winter, he moaned all the way there and back.
Jay, you really threw me for a minute. I read your title and thought, “Wait, she’s had five husbands? And she refers to them by number?” Then reality set in and I realized this is the fifth in a series of conversations with your husband.
So did you figure out why you were so hot (aside from your overall sexiness, of course)? Are you coming down with something or just going through the mid-life thing (as I am)?
Whichever, I offer my sympathy.

Drew: Moan? Moi?
Yellow Swordfishs last blog post..Perfect!
Mr N – Thank you, I’m fine this morning! I didn’t combust after all! Yay! I’ll let you know if the fire extinguisher turns up. LOL!
Hi Drew – Tell me about it! Our winter dog walks are one long moan!
Ruth HC – You’re not the first to think that! Also it’s been pointed out to me that this isn’t, in fact, No. 6, but No. 7. I’ve amended the title accordingly. As to why I was so hot, yeah, I think it’s probably hormones. *Sigh*
Yellow Swordfish – You, moan? Ahahaha! Never!!!
But I love you anyway!
When I first began this read, I thought it was spontaneous combustion again ha today merely 75 in July in Florida how strange
sandys last blog post..Blogger has stopped uploading photos so it ‘s a speech from me
Sandy – Really? Wow, yes, that’s strange, isn’t it?
If this is hormonal, he’s better get used to sympathizing – if he knows what’s good for him ;O)
I agree with Babs. I have actually spontaneously combusted several times already due to hormones.
I love that he “sternly” told you to go put your shoes on!

The ‘cat’ is still working…it must have been a youtube ‘blip’

Never, ever tell your hubby you feel hot. I speak from deep felt experience here, believe me. Do as I do, open every window in the place – it not only cools you down, it leaves the room blissfully empty and wise-crack free for hours..
How perfectly delightful to hear your hubby is also a fellow blogger (sadly, I could not get the links to load, but I will try again at some later point, honest Guv’)I so wish my nearest and dearest had an interest on-line, would certainly make mine a lot easier to induldge. Grin.
Babs – Yes, I have warned him that my moodiness is likely to increase as time goes on, and yes, he does know what’s good for him. He’s seen my collection of knives. LOL!
JD – I hope you had your shoes on! ROFL!
Gemma – I got it! Must’ve been YouTube!
Shrinky – He’d leave home if I started opening windows! Yes, he actually had a blog long before I did! I told him in no uncertain terms when he retired, that he needed a hobby. No, he really did. He NEEDED one. If he wanted to live …
ha ha ha ha
But you really did kind of set yourself up for that scenario.
meleah rebeccahs last blog post..Why Sometimes I Love My Prescriptions
LOL … I thought you meant hubby #7 too, LOL … I was thinking, damn, she’s like Elizabeth Taylor or something … and she numbers them. LOL
I hope you finally cooled off! I hate hot, humid weather, yuk. It’s like that here too.
So, your hubby has a blog? I’ll have to check that out.
DrowseyMonkeys last blog post..The First Meeting … and Doodle Garden
Good morning. I’ve given you a blog award. It’s the second post down over at my place.
Ruth Hull Chatliens last blog post..Shedding the Dragon Skin
My wife’s temp is rising higher all the time. This of course means that our bedroom is always too hot, our blankets are too hot, the fan isn’t fast enough and the air conditioner isn’t cold enough. We’ve had to build a little blanket wall in our bed so I don’t freeze my ass off while she sleeps in just a sheet. Good times.
Jeffs last blog post..Wanted: Your witty reponses
Meleah – I guess I did set myself up, but he’s a lot of fun to spar with! LOL!
DM – That’s funny! I’ve changed it now, so people won’t think of me as some kind of female Bluebeard. It’s cooler today, which is rather nice, but OH is complaining! Typical!
Ruth HC – Oh, how kind of you! I’m touched and honoured. I’ll follow that up and spread the love later today! Thank you!
Jeff – So you have a hot wife too? Ain’t you the lucky one? Tee hee. Seriously – OH is always complaining of the same thing; we’re never hot or cold at the same time these days. Luckily we’ve invested in two 4 foot beds which are pushed together, but have separate mattresses (of course) and separate duvets. It’s BLISS. And we get a total of eight feet of space to play with.
Alright Jay, just had a word with that young man of yours! Hope it does so good…in the mean time, go take your temp, wrap up til you sweat and drink some nice hot sweet tea! It may not work. But it couldn’t hurt
Sandi
LOL – Sandi! I’m OK. Still coughing a little bit from that bug, but I’m not going down with anything else. I think it’s just hormones. Still, as you say, drinking tea can’t hurt, can it?
Err.. I thought Hubby Number 7. This was hilarious. It’s boiling here as well. Drink loads of chilled water or rather ask hubby to serve you some. I mean he should make you feel like a Queen, you deserve it. Don’t you?
Scratch Bagss last blog post..This can’t get more evil
Of course I do, Scratch! I mean, my dog is a Princess, does that not make me a queen?
Of course, my other dog is the Pirate, so I think we’ll just gloss over that one… I hate to think what that makes me. LOL!
