Random Thought of the Day

I can't help but think there's something very wrong when you regard waking up at 7 am as "sleeping-in."

^^^^^^^^^^
5 am is sleeping in :)

Don't forget the bottled water...... sold in plastic manufactured in China where conformance to product purity standards is a hoot.

Would you happen to have any links on that?

It is an interesting point. A close friend is trying to find out what an ailment they have may be originating from and exclusively drinks bottled water.
I read the labels and am really picky about what water is being consumed and even read the # on the bottles to determine the un re-useability of the bottles.

Never considered the source of the lousy plastic.

I went and purchased some re-usable plastic bottles, it is surprising how hard it is to find a #7 on the bottom of the container inside the recycle triangle. For anyones info I do believe it has to be a minimum of a 5 to be considered re-usable, each to their own.

As an aside. I have ph tested most of the things around here that I can to determine values. According to my testing, there is no "truth in labeling" on the ph value of the water we may be buying.

I had a case of hospital grade giardia once and it was memorable.

People who drink large quantities of distilled water can be leaching vitamins and minerals from their bodies.

The "grade" of the plastic is whatever grade you want stamped on it. China has shown little concern for truth in trade.

Water bottlers only measure contamination at the production line, they don't follow the truck or measure it at the consumer's level.

Triple Distilled Water for use in hospital surgeries has often been found to be contaminated.

When bacteria get stressed, ie, when we are winning the struggle, they often form "L-bodies". Most tests are for the bacteria, not the L-bodies.

Look at what was drunk during prohibition and you won't care about pure food and drugs anymore at all.

Reminds me. Quality control. To be fair, you can see this in any country.

I hope while people are enjoying they're cheap imported fruit and vegetables they are reading about "Nightsoil".

Growing produce for human consumption in human fecal matter is illegal in this country.

I wondered if you had seen this, I hate quoting anything from Yahoo but here it is. Good ole BPA

Hey, Budweiser don't jab me with a knife in the heart. Thanks. Okay, I get it.

I always wanted to make a torch, so ...

soaking,



Dr. Frankenstein is mad? Making monsters? Where is that little bitch?!!



Long story. Sort of a Frankenstein thing. Explain later.

Mwahhh haahaahaa....He vas.....my BOYfriend!

Yeah, 2 things about bottled water. The bad plastics can place complex molecules into the water that your body retains.

And the dilution of essential salts and electrolytes thru ingestion of large quantities can cause real problems as well.

Good ole' tap. Except mine has an atrocious aftertaste, so I have a tap filter for the drinking water. GE/Pur/etc. all good for that.
