Friday Fun: It's National Heat Awareness Day!

Friday Fun:
It's National Heat Awareness Day!

Of course we are talking about the heat of the sun warming our body.

Or? Are we talking about the heat... the heat between me and you?

Oh, yes, child. It's summer and we have all sorts of deliciously nasty thoughts running through our heads every time we see a jogger in tiny shorts with no shirt on or a man slinging up what the good lord gave him in a speedo at the local swimming hole. 

That's the kind of heat we want to make ourselves aware of, in the most delectable means possible.

But! Safety first. When you approach that man of the moment, make sure your ship is ship-shape. And by that, I mean... when was the last time you got checked for STI's? 

Been awhile? Then make haste... and get ye to thy doc, my love. Have that frank conversation and get those tests done. It's the only way to keep your oars in the water!

End up with a bit of a problem? It's a snap to get it taken care of. Though you may want to take a look at the men in your life... and inform them, dear one. For they've been exposed and need to get checked, too. Doing the right thing may be a bit of an embarrassment in the moment, but it's your duty to your community!

In the clear? Well, then my dear... the line forms at the rear.

That's right. Have a good time. Your kind of good time. But keep the risks to a minimum (no PNP for me!) and remain true to your values. 

However you choose to do it, remain aware! And just remember...

The heat you conduct today may remain with you tomorrow in a way you'd rather it not.

Yes, that's right...

Get tested regularly!

Everything in life requires maintenance.
So, do your part...
And enjoy generating some heat!

Friday Fun: It's Don't Fry Day!

Friday Fun: 
It's Don't Fry Day!

Hey, hey, hey... It's Don't Fry Day!

And we are not talking food.

Don't Fry Day, also known as National Heat Awareness Safety Day, has been observed the Friday before Memorial Day since 2009.

Going out in the sun? Hitting the beach? The prairie? Pool-side? Your backyard or patio?

Play it smart. 

Not only should you be using plenty of sunblock. Not only should you be remaining well-hydrated (non-alcoholic beverages count). Not only should you be taking frequent breaks by sitting in the shade. 

But you should also remain well-aware of the temperature and your surroundings. And bring a cap or sun hat for your head.

That sun? It's our friend. It's great entertainment. And it feels wonderful on our skin. 

But don't let it fool you. 

Heat exhaustion can overtake you without you even being aware.

So play it smart and use common sense when enjoying yourself outdoors. 

A trip to the emergency room or a nasty sunburn are both great ways to ruin your fun in the sun.

So, be a wise guy - don't fry!

Safety first.
Carelessness is the #1 way...
To ruin a good time!
