Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
A water gun would and should get a kid SM
disciplined, IMO. It's a toy and should stay home and not come to school.
At my grandson's daycare they get kicked out for making guns out of Legos! No guns in school anywhere, any time, any shape, form or fashion.
Lord, we made bazookas out of big sticks, rifles out of smaller ones, and handguns out of little bent ones. Then we proceeded to kill each other all over the place - the difference is that we didn't do it when we grew up.
Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

Yes, and that same jug of water costs how much after it's
been paid for with tax dollars, hauled in on trucks, and handed out by National Guardsmen and FEMA workers who are being paid and are away from their own families? That little jug of water costs more to the taxpayers than Perrier.
yes, and running water too.

Don't put in dishwasher, water gets too hot, but you
can wash in the tub or shower. I've washed mine 3 times in the shower. I don't use anything, just hot water and run over it a few times, let it sit for a bit and then run water again to get anything really sticky off. I then shake it upside down really good and then place it upside down on a towel near a vent to dry. It takes me 3 days to get it dried out good. I've used it in 2 days and kept getting errors, so let it dry a third day and no problems.
You can take a warm damp cloth and wipe over the keyboard. I would suggest unplugging it from the computer so you don't reprogram something. I also take an index card and run it down between the keys. You'd be surprised how much dust/animal hair you get out. I also turn my keyboard over and thumb it a couple of times on my tray and that gets out a lot of crumbs.
lots of water before eating
I haven't tried this myself, but I recently read an article about two very overweight men who lost tons of weight (not quickly, but gradually). Both exercised every day, starting off with very little and gradually working it up, and one of them said he also drank something like a liter of water before each meal, which filled up his stomach so he got full fast and it really helped him cut back on how much he was eating. I thought it sounded logical.
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
Freezing water in bottles
It's great that you drink ice water, but I read that freezing water in plastic bottles leaches chemicals from the plastic into your water (potential cancer cause). Better to use those new ice cube trays that make finger-shaped ice cubes!
chug a glass of water

Your argument does not hold water.
A hurricane in those areas of Texas may indeed have never been so far inland, but that's the nature of natural disasters. For 4 years now Homeland Security has been trying to drill it into the minds of the American people that you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Maybe next time it will be a terrorist hit. Maybe an earthquake along New Madrid. Don't you believe your survival should be dependent on yourself? Or do you expect the govt to swoop in and take care of it for you? The sheeple need to wake up. Get prepared and stay prepared!
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

Have you ever made those water candles?
When I was a young teenager, we would make the water candles in a bucket of water. Got burned more than I care to think about. Made some pretty awesome-looking candles though!
Holy cow, wonder what is in that poor cat's water??

How is THAT warm water? hmmm? LOL..nm

sorry but reaons don't hold water...
"Leasing also allows you to get more car for the money " nooooo...leasing allows you to drive more car than you can actually afford. It's a version of living beyond your means.
"Lease payments are much lower than buying" talk about needing instant gratification! Leasing per mile is always more expensive than ownership. You forget, at the end of the lease, you give the car back. At the end of the same $$ spent in car payments, you could sell the car and get MONEY back.
"You will always have a car payment (which we would anyway)." And you will always live paycheck to paycheck, but then maybe you would anyway!
"Always be within warranty and only pay for gas and basic maintenance." There's other ways to do this. You can buy a car and trade it in every five years and only pay for gas, maintenance and be within warranty.
"Then again, you will always have a new car" - yea, that someone else owns, not you.
Not flaming, but the rationale behind some of these comments just burns me up. Buying a new car from a dealer is the worse way to do it - except leasing a new car from a dealer. For Pete's sake, think about it! Obviously they are making a ton of money off of you-- otherwise they wouldn't do it!!!
Save your money, watch for a cream puff in the classifieds, buy something with 30,000 miles or less, with cash. Then you can laugh all the way to your garage.
Just to mention why I think I'm in a position to give this advice? We own our home free and clear (7 years old, worth $500,000), own 2 cars and a truck that's paid for. Our latest vehicle is a 2002 Toyota Tacoma pick up. $33,000, paid $14,500 cash for it. Have over 200,000 in our IRA's. And guess what. I'm an MT and he's a machinist. No corporate paychecks here. There's a way to manage your money, or your money will manage you.
What kind of water damage is what I would like to know sm..
Was it leaking from basement walls into basement or did someone leave water running and cause a flood, or was it sewer backup, or what is a natural flood? Any kind of water damage really stinks!! We had the unfortunate situation happen to us years ago when their was flooding all around us, but we did fine, that is, until the sewer system backed up into our basement about 4 feet high! This was so gross, I don't think I'll ever get over it, however, we had it professionally cleaned and disinfected and threw EVERYTHING out, so hopefully that solved any health issues, so we are told. Anyway, we invested $600 into a backup valve so that it will never happen again. I have wanted to move ever since just because it was so gross and I can't get the image out of my head, but 4 years later, we are still here, kids and all. So, the moral of the story I am trying to get at is this....they were supposed to be upfront and honest about the water damage problem and they were not, which leads me to believe that they have something to hide. Therefore, you should potentially be able to get any money back because of this if you can prove that it was withheld information on the contract. If you just love the house that much, go ahead with the inspection and find out what kind of water damage it was. If it checks out with inspector, I would strongly suggest you have it professionally cleaned/disinfected to be safe, and expect it to maybe happen again and consider that thoroughly. Personally, if we ever go to sell this house, I will be up front about it because even though we seemed to have fixed the problem, it is very possible it can happen again. Hope this all makes sense. Good luck.
oh, that just made my eyes water!!! (sm)
I can't imagine with all of the toys that are available that someone would need to turn to fruits and veggies for thrills. OMG, you know, potatoes are the worst smelling ick when they start rotting. I wonder if the poor doc who removed it puked. and it was sprouting??? blech!
Spilled water on my Dictaphone...sm
C-phone. Not a large amount, but now none of the buttons work. Dial tone sounded shrill when I picked up the handset, but that has stopped now and the sound is normal. Anyone out there expeienced this? The one time I put a glass of water near it, and I bumped it with my elbow.
ditto. too much water boils the meat.
read recipes for crock pots.
I take mine apart before it gets the soap and water bath. nm

Your logic loses water in several ways. SM
Wal-Mart, years ago, was famous for only selling American-made products. THAT promoted capitalism on many levels, and RIGHT HERE IN THE US, not China, which is where they buy most of their goods. So who is getting rich here? It certainly isn't companies in the US who provide goods to Wal-Mart because very few of their goods come from the U.S. Also, they pay their employees very low and treat them badly. They have at least one class action discrimination suit against them. And let's not forget the numerous suits for hiring illegal aliens to clean their stores and LOCKING THEM IN!!! Also, did you even read the article Rad Guy posted? If you did, and you still defend them, even as a devil's advocate, that says a lot about you. By the way, I don't shop there and haven't for a long time.
Try a slice of fresh lemon in water.
It changes the taste completely.
You also can't enjoy the water parks in December. nm

Yep, thanks. They bought cases of water before they left.
They are staying at a nice hotel and he is going with kids that he went to high school with and now they are all in college together. They remind of me of 50s kids, their idea of fun a lot of times is to go out for sodas and hamburgers or go to the game.
I use a bit of water and honey to make a paste.
:)
It just tastes like the Poland Spring water sm
that I drink all day. That is why I never bought the fruit water, I don't like sweet drinks. This is perfect for me.
Insect bites, center water blister.
For an entire month maybe once or twice a week, I have been bitten by some unknown sneaky bug that leaves a center water blister and a huge red swollen area around the blister, maybe the size of a half dollar coin. I have been putting neosporin on it but would love to know what is biting me. I woke up this morning with 3 extra bites. I knew about the one on my wrist which has already started to blister. I am thinking of going to the doctor but don't want to look like a wacko going in for nothing. However, I absolutely hate insects and they seem to love me with the bites.
The itching seems to happen when I am in the backyard (lots of trees and bushes). So, might be getting bit there first then the bites get worse as time goes by. They leave scabby cicular scars. The skin looks healed but very dark.
Anyone else with this experience or should I just head to the doctor. Can't really afford it but tired of the bites and the scars they are leaving. Thanks.
Watching CNN - New Orleans. See people walking through water (sm)
A thought comes to mind. I would be afraid to just walk around in the water. Isn't there a chance that either sharks or gators could have come inland with the water?
Hoax about plastics/cancer and freezing water.........

You can proof the yeast by putting it in some warm water...
with a teaspoon of sugar. If it starts to bubble within 10-15 minutes it's still alive. Otherwise, it has died and will not breathe it's bubbles into whatever you are making and you'll get no rising.
Next time you buy yeast, stick it in the freezer. That puts it to sleep, and it will last years. 
my grandmother used vinegar diluted with water on my hair
whenever there was a problem with lice.
I used filtered water with frozen fruit dropped in it

Get a cloth damp with warm water and wipe
it, if that doesn't do it, spray a citrus-based cleaner on a cloth and wipe it with that.
The water bottle is a very good training tool
for cats (squart guns too). Get a good scratching post and rub it with catnip. I use double-sided tape that I get from the Foster&Smith website and the cats leave my furniture alone. (I have 4 cats). The log is a nice idea too...messy but nice in addition to scratching posts and such.
Not all combs/brushes are created equal and I have found that the curry-comb type work best. They are sometimes called a shedding comb. It is in the shape of a loop with a handle. I put a towel on the floor and go to town! In the spring I can get a cat-sized ball of fur off of them using this comb. Regular combing will really help keep your house cleaner. You still need to use a roller or duct tape placed around your hand to remove it from your furniture on a regular basis. Good luck.
Water seeks its own level. Controlling men (and women)
seem to end up with a spineless jellyfish of a person. The wimpier person likes being told what to do because he/she has no confidence to make a decision, and the bossy one loves ruling with an iron fist.
Been there, done that.
Got rid of the bossy one too.
Baking Soda-make a paste with a little water. That's all I use. (nm)

Lake Champlain "cabin" 5 feet from the water, across
The water was so clear, you could canoe out from the shore 30-40 feet and still see bottom. When storms came up, the whole lake turned GREEN. Gorgeous, cold water, GREAT canoeing and hiking and tennis. Great forests.
