This thread has talent!
Here at the bach pad my city water is barely drinkable. It's got rust in it and is very brown at first, most likely from the pipes in the apartment complex. It'll clear up if you let it run, but it never does taste quite right. Maybe the basic problem is that it ~has~ flavor... and shouldn't... :-)
I drink bottled water here, and I've got one of those 5-gal water bottles, and every couple of weeks I fill it up down at home. I use that for making coffee.
*snort*
Thanks for sharing...
Channel 2 Works for You has even aired a segment on it...and I haven't gotten a notice about the Chlorine byproduct thing in a long time. So they musta done something...
But it's so rusty sometimes it makes your whites look dingy! And my (foolishly white) shower curtain is stained brown at the bottom where the water hits it!
Ummm...kay. Lovely!
I'm rather glad my cats are shorthaired and only barf up grass once in awhile, for the most part.
I guess I associate bottled water with Seattle people for the wrong reasons... maybe it's not a Seattle thing, maybe it's a city thing.
ewwwww. I'd say to try that filter system, but I'd just keep buying it until you can move. I'd hate to know what all was in there. We love our well water!
Theboy has a wrestling tournament this Saturday. His first one. It'll be fun to watch little kids trying to pin another kid to the mat. :-)

I had thrown it in the garbage... I dug it out just for Rosie. :~D
I feel soooo special!
LOL - Well Cartman is long haired, and he also grooms the kittens.
UGH!
Indeed.
Something tells me he'll be good at that! ;-)
How are things? Seems like we don't see you guys around as much these days...
Yep, I considered getting a filter for that system you gave me, but can you imagine that black silt or carbon hitting it? It would ruin the filter immediately, I think. You could literally scrape the black gunk up off the bottom of the tub and it stuck to your fingers like charcoal. I was so glad I wasn't washing my hair...getting it off my face woulda been hard!
Sounds like OT knows what it is...carbon used for treatment.
Yikes! And Cartman lived through it?
He feels much better now :~D
Heh...the carbon gets a lot of stuff out of the water. It's supposed to be allowed to settle out or filtered out before it's released.
