Complete digression: Is anyone else tired of hearing children being routinely referred to as "kids"?

OK I’ll have to do some research on this, kid.

I’ve heard of this alkalized water before. In fact there was a store next to one of my favorite Chinese restaurants that sold all kinds of products that were supposed to “raise your body pH level” under the theory that a higher pH would kill off cancer cells or something like that.

I don’t know if it is true or not, but I suspect that drinking alkalized water isn’t going to do much of anything at all except maybe make you sick in the stomach... or liver.

Is anyone else tired of hearing children being routinely referred to as "kids"?

Nope. I've done it all my life, and so do my kids.

Yes, kids are baby goats, and children are less-than adult humans.

I think we are just showing our age.

Seems normal to me.

Is this like the idiots who made themselves sick by consuming huge amounts of anti-oxidants? They thought that would help them live forever.

Oh dear, I’ve got several bottles of that water. I’ve never had a problem with it. Now I have to decide if I want to toss them out or finish them.

[BobL]

Oh please, there’s nothing wrong with REAL water...I drink half a gallon every day (sometimes more) and have all my life.

[PLMerite]

Always with the negative ions..

[PghBaldy]

Lots of folks, I am sure.

Let me guess. They drank a lot of it, maybe no regular water or other drinks.

I don’t go to finish reading most articles. Important information like how much of the water they drank should be at the start.

Too much of anything isn’t usually good. How many people got sick or even died from drinking several 5 Hours or Red Bulls.
There was the guy that only drank sweet tea and it killed him by destroying his kidneys.

I drink a lot of bottled water (our tap water is horrible). But I know I need to drink other things at least part of the day. Currently gathering switchel and other recipes to replace Powerade when it gets hot.

No. The word “kid” flows an Old Norse “kið” (“young goat”), and some of the (healthy kids) in this city are frisky like them. The more siblings the better (usually), unlike the (usually) single children or liberals who seem fearful. To call children "kids" should denote appreciation of their likeness to kids goats:

f God made anything cuter than the first baby goats, he must have kept it for Himself. Baby goats, called kids, are sweet, cuddly, cute and addictive to any farmer who keeps livestock. They’re also smart and mischievous, so if there’s trouble, they’ll find it. If you’re new to keeping baby goats, be forewarned: They’ll steal your heart and sometimes drive you crazy. Here are seven things to do to prepare yourself for kidding season. - https://www.hobbyfarms.com/7-ways-to-get-your-farm-ready-for-baby-goats-3/Y
