My new 10$ garden hose from Family Dollar came with a warning
(garden hose is food-related, isn't it?)
Inside the package cover it says: WARNING! Do not drink water out of this hose. The hose could harbor hazardous chemicals, or bacteria from stagnant water inside the hose. Is there nothing we can do today, that we used to do as kids growing up? |

Not enough kids eat dirt today. I still drink out of the hose. |

You can do whatever you want within the law. Drink out of the hose if you want. Nobody is stopping you. They just have to put those warnings on, is all. |

Oh you can still drink out of the hose if you want. Don't you remember what the water tasted like back in those days when you drank out of a hose....it tasted like you were drinking out of a hose. I'm sure the hose that is manufactured today is no different than the one you drank out of as a kid. I bet the water tastes the same today when you drink it. The only difference is that today it is required by law for those warnings to be posted. Personally I never would drink out of a hose, I couldn't stand that taste. |

Just because people drink from garden hoses doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, if your dog drinks from the toilet will you? Most typical garden hoses are not designed to be used for potable water... hoses meant for drinking water are made of different materials and are identifiable by being white. http://www.swanhose.com/p-marinecamper_spec-hose.shtml |

AFAIK, hoses have always said that. Or at least I've always known not to drink out of one. My dad always said that a worm or a slug could be inside. |

They banned firecrackers in Canada. They used to be such fun for kids. Also, we used to make our own gunpowder and blow up little dinky toys. Actually it was more of a fast burn. You used to be able to purchase sulfur and saltpeter at the pharmacy. Those times are over. |

My mother would tell us kids to drink out of the hose (rather than letting dirty feet into the house). It tastes horrible! It's the SAME WATER! Then you come drink out of the hose if it's so good.

You may ride a bicycle without wearing a helmet. You may roller skate without wearing knee pads. You may splash in deep puddles in the rain. You may even drink out of the garden hose if you want to. When I was a kid we drank out of the hose only because we didn't want to go inside for a glass of water. Going inside carried the risk of being made to stay inside to do something like homework ;) Jill |

Are you normally thick, dense, and obtuse? I answered the question correctly. Most garden hose manufacturers produce hoses specifically for potable water (typically for RV, marine, and travel trailer use), the standard color for identification is white. There is no law regulating which hoses people drink from but it's wise to use those specfically manufactured for potable water. Considering there are so many self proclaimed know it alls at rfc I'm udderly amazed that no one else knows about potable water hoses. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/cata...pn=Garden_Hose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_hose |

I was talking about ordinary garden hoses, to which you responded that you understood yet you continued to prattle about white hoses for potable water and how you are the only one who knows anything about them.

I'd like to take that hose and shove it into his mouth and tape it closed, then turn it on full blast till the rubber cannon blows enough water into his system to balloon him up triple normal size and he explodes with such force that his body is essentially turned into a grenade causing the death and destruction of his neighbors and their property. Just to teach him a lesson, not to kill him or anything. This Somebody guy (believe me, I know), he never stops complaining. Tomorrow he'll complain that he drank out of the hose and it tasted bad. He's always got something to gripe about, but I'd like to give him something new and improved to up his complaint quotient. The guy should be thankful he's got a lawn. Not really, a wall is just a horizontal wall. But I enjoy listening to Somebody complain. In fact I like hearing it from everyone, even myself. TJ |

I got a great garden hose for only $10-- though a bit disappointed I can't drink out of it. And got a new pair of shorts. They are a bit tight, but incentive to keep losing weight me- hopes. Ex-wife was a bit abrupt on the phone this eve, but there's a reason she's the ex-wife. Should says reasons, plural... The world is a wonderful place today. Got the platform bed setup and brother comes to visit tomorrow. Supposed to play cards Sunday and get pizza with my 88 year old day and his wife, and brother and sister. He still usually wins when we play.. Maybe we'll get Domino's for dinner but probably not the gluten-free crust. I'd like to go to El Nopal, but apparently no one else does. Deciding on where/what to eat with my family is nutters. Especially my sister. She will agree to somewhere but then always tries to manipulate everyone into going where she wants to go. But that's okay. The world is a wonderful place. Nothing to complain about on this planet today. I think I will go watch an episode of Community, or maybe High Noon. I heard on NPR it's the most screened movie in the White House. During the Clinton years it was shown 20 times! |

Lead? Do they break easy? Ever since my SIL found out her Chinese tea set was radioactive, I've been suspicious of attractive bargains. |

I am a complainer too, but not on the level of Somebody. His complaints are not creative enough. Obviously he has not read my latest book, "The Art of Creative Complaining." Even if he did read it, he'd have some complaint about it, it's too long or too short or it cost too much or not enough. Ok, let's put it this way: Somebody is the kind of guy who complains from the back seat that there's too much air, can you please roll up the damned window - and says it in a whiny and demanding way. But you know when he makes the complaint - you just know it even if you can't prove it - that if the window had been already rolled up he would have complained that there wasn't enough air. Get it? He's a complainer. Maybe I could steal his crown if I had to deal with someone like you on a daily basis. Then I'd really complain, or put some distance between us awfully quick TJ |

The funny thing about *** marriage - the one thing that stands out right away with me is that once they get the legal marriage they're clamoring for, all it will mean in the end is they'll have to pay a lawyer to get divorced, just like straight people. Then they'll be saying, "What the hell was I thinking?" TJ |
