Message #744 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date All BBlast Water 3/9/04, 6:05am The simplest of ingredients..water. It has been unusally warm here in southern California so this brings to mind...water. How much water do YOU drink in a day? Is it filtered? Bottled? Jugged? Tapped? Is the water in your area "good" tasting, or does it taste like the local public pool? If you buy your water, what do you pay? Are you concerned about the water availability in your area? Are you concerned about the water quality in your area? Do you keep plants? How often do you water them? What kind are they? Do you have a lawn? How often do you water your lawn? And what about your shower? Hard water stains or clean as a whistle? And what about that shower door/curtain? Have you ever looked at your water bill to see what you use in say, a day?? -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

Message #746 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date BBlast murphy brown   Re: Water 3/9/04, 8:41am Good questions Bill. First of all I have read of cases where people have actually overdosed on water so even with the simplest of ingredients you have to be careful I guess. Our water must not be hard since we have no problem with water stains...or maybe its all those chemicals from that Rocketdyne installation leaching through our water supply that eats any residue away. LOL! About 30 years ago we began making it a habit of installing a drinking water filter soon as we moved into a new house. Our ice is also on a filter. Cheaper than bottled which gawd knows where it comes from? I also stock big 32 oz glasses so when we do have a "glass of water" its plenty. Personally I make 3 quarts of decaf tea and make sure thats gone by the end of the day. How about the rest of you? -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

Must never leave the bathroom. Yep we use the Mutipure system also. Its terrific. Where do you get your filters? We water twice a week for about 10 minutes. Far as taste I guess those chemicas do a good job of flavoring it cause its not bad. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

I guess it depends on what I'm doing that day. >Is it filtered? Bottled? Jugged? Tapped? Filtered tap water. I bought one of those Pur filters that screws onto the faucet. I'm not all that happy with it, though. The water pressure I get through that thing is pretty poor. It takes too long to fill a glass or bottle. >Is the water in your area "good" tasting, or does it taste >like the local public pool? I've actually never had a complaint about the taste of the water here straight from the tap. >Do you keep plants? How often do you water them? What kind are >they? Do you have a lawn? How often do you water your lawn? One plant, a bonsai tree. It keep it in the bathroom window, which is inside my shower. When I take a shower, I run it under the spray for a few seconds. That seems to be all the watering it needs. No lawn here... >And what about your shower? Hard water stains or clean as a >whistle? And what about that shower door/curtain?

I tend to get blisters pretty easily, so I've tried quite a few brands and styles to find the ones that work best for me. My favorites are REI Monarchs. They have a few designs they call Monarchs. The ones I like are the Goretex design (http://tinyurl.com/3gynv). I also recently used my yearly dividend to get a pair of low-top Salomon hiking shoes/boots (http://tinyurl.com/36fpp). They seem pretty nice and comfortable, but so far I haven't taken them on any lengthy hikes, just my daily jaunts around Griffith Park. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #775 • Back to Topics

If they get bad, they can slow me down a bit. Fortunately I don't get bad blisters very often, since I've discovered the boots that work for me. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #779 • Back to Topics

You are literally addicted. Doesn't your body make some kind of hormone when you exercise? Its a feel good thing and some do more and more of it because of that.

Certainly couldn't keep up with you however. Anyway I found that if I took care of a blister soon as I felt the hot spot it really kept the discomfort to a minimum. Always had moleskin in my pocket. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

Hell, sometimes I have to force myself to keep going because I just feel like quitting so much. I do it because I love being in the mountains, not because I like the exercise. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #782 • Back to Topics

That's super Lonburger....We'd all be healthier if we did more of that. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

We use to walk this fire road that seemed like 100 miles. We'd start out going uphill full speed and just collapse when we got half way through the loop. Sit and gasp for a long time and then finish it. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!
