Okay, here's something that's really dumb silly. We are being told to boil our water for 1 minute, for 3 minutes, for 5 minutes, for 6 minutes, for 10 minutes; it's like pluck a number out of the air and that's the answer. Even the Chief Medical Officer for the city said 5 minutes. So hubs decides to go on line to see what he could find :rolleyes:

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU BOIL WATER TO MAKE IT SAFE?

The fact is, with a water temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F (74 C) it takes just half an hour for all disease causing organisms to be inactivated. At 185 degrees this is cut to just a few minutes. By the time water hits its boiling point of 212 F (100 C) - plus or minus depending upon pressure or altitude - the water is safe. Even at high altitudes the time it takes for the water to reach a rolling boil and then cool means you can safely drink it.

So we are saving energy and just bringing it to a boil, even though "they" tell us that just bringing it to a rolling boil in a jug with an automatic switch-off is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

By the way, thanks for the Portaloos yous guys are sending our way :D and for your urban search and rescue teams :) :)

This sent me waaaay back. I have a memory of this song playing in December of 1966 while I was visiting my uncle and his family in in California. I just get this image of a yellow VW beetle, uncle Pete (after whom I am named), and this song playing. Now I can't get it out of my mind. :unsure:

Dunno what the Canucks are doing for youse guys.. . .. ....we got some Mounties over there, then?

I'm telling ya, if a disaster-struck country should ever, EVER need milk in a bag, with pouring containers, we are here to serve.

In fact, I am not certain why our Prime Minister has never bestowed an assembled bag of milk in its infamous plastic container to the presidents of various countries that he is visiting. Hell, Inuit sculptures.. . . ..Group of Seven paintings, polar bear diamond pendants... .. . .C'mon, give official dignitaries something truly wonderful...!

POeter! I think you were, at this time, living about six blocks from me. I was a year old. How come my mom never called you to come over and babysit? :P:lol:

Hi Psilles,

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTI!!!!!

I've been popping in and out because I'm keeping the medical profession in business on a daily basis. Still alive to talk about it laugh.gif

I hope you're all doing well. Heading out soon to pick up Tony and a friend from the train to see a cover group of the Beatles for his birthday. He's downtrodden because something happened and hi BF is no longer. Won't talk to us about it. It's hard to see them hurting and not be able to fix it any more.

Miss you all!!!

P.S. Clark makes his presentation and meets with several top people at the new company Thursday. Keep everything crossed!

Well, I've made a new discovery. If you go off to Spain and forget to renew your truck tabs, the local constabulary are kind enough to remind you of it. And politely expect you to pay them for the time they spent assisting you.

Those guys must get a lot more per hour than I do..... <_<

Off to buy my tabs.

Motto of the week: "If it's brown, flush it down; if it's yellow, let it mellow" Of as we used to say in CA: "In this land of sun and fun, we don't flush for number one." :lol:

Ok, but what if you're really dehydrated (I dunno, been drinking copious amounts of Wodka the night before) and yer wee is like auburn...almost brown??? unsure.gif (& yer have a stinkin' headache)

NOT the sort of dilemma yer need wiv a heinous hangover rolleyes.gif

That was like one o' 'The Ripper's' conundrums laugh.gif

I believe some discretion is allowed for the in-between shades :rolleyes::P Besides, we have several terlets for different purposes - a yellow one, a brown one (closest to the spa) and a hangover one (as yet unused because there's not enuff drinking water to allow for getting dehydrated - only enuff for mellow :D

OMG.... . . . . ..DH would let a mellow yellow terlet sit and continue receiving contriutions for about a week before he would figger that it's time to flush... .. . .quite revolting.

It's my one extravagance - - I flush after I pee, regardless of hue . .. . . . .. . ..

Ah yes, a new biznus opportunity there, Nik, no doubt. Need to create some employment down here or everyone will move out :o There'll only be us retirees left :P And then who will buy our houses when we go into the old folks home? :blink:

Water may be running in a week - or in two months.... since it has to come from Lyttelton (the epicentre) through the pipes on the harbour floor :unsure: They are filling the Lyttelton reservoir now.

Awww, shucks, the U.S. Consulate just kindly sent me an email inquiring as to my safety!! Uncle Sam cares :wub::lol: They didn't ask about hubs, for some reason..... Mebbe because he's travelling below the radar. Desperado on the run. (I turned him in)

And just so you don't think we are lolling about relaxing, we have had 15 aftershocks today, with three of them being, respectively, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 :( Miss Em barely bothers to raise en eyelid now :D

AAaaand, the HMNZS Canterbury is steaming up the harbour right this minute bringing much needed supplies from Wellington, like portaloos, and Army 4-wheel drive vehicles and who knows what else??? :D

A container (small, coastal) ship came in yesterday and they were hoping to get a fuel tanker berthed today, but there is only one operational wharf :unsure:

Got on here to find some giggles. I found some, but they quickly turned to sobs. I swear, if I hear 1 more person say, "At least it wasn't a cat or a dog, that would have been worse..." I shall SCREAM!!! I passed a mirror an hour ago and it looks like I've been in a major fight. I guess I have though. I'm going back and forth between fighting with God and repeating the Serenity prayer to myself. Mocha was so very loved in his short time with us. I'm just having a hard time holding my daughter while she sobs, clutching her chest crying that, "It just hurts so bad mama, my heart hurts so bad"

RIP Mocha bunny -_-

This happened to Jesse recently, except his excuse was, "My wife forgot to renew my tabs" <_<

Me too! My son, however, doesn't care what color it is. He cannae be bothered by flushing :rolleyes:

Ah! ...market for 'adut wipes' out there....

Oh, we have them at the hospital. I think they're actually called 'adult wipes' I'll see if I can snap a pic of them tomorrow :P

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
