Is there nothing we can do today, that we used to do as kids growing

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.

If you look closely into that garden hose, there is a teeny tiny lawyer
inside.

do not, repeat DO NOT ever look into the end of a garden hose. It is just
asking for trouble, and these days immortality on YouTube.

Yep, lawyers. Just like McDonald's has to explain hot coffee is hot. 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

"Somebody" is one of the biggest complainers I've ever known. It
never ends. 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.

What behaviors do "complainers" exhibit? I can't keep up with your
classification system.

basically, anyone that is "not him" is a complainer, whiner, ne'er do
well... Though sometimes he gets pantheistic and sometimes Buddha
inspires him to say something not completely retarded-- it does get
confusing. If I were ***, I'd marry him. But unfortunately, I'm
not... I mean fortunately.

They bitch about everything just about, it's no more complex than
that. 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

So you complained about the wrong thing. You should have focused your
whining on that specific quality of his complaint rather than bitching
that he is "a big complainer".

You now need to complain about yourself. Go ahead, we're all ears.

I don't care if someone wants to marry their pet - let it be. 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?"

Today was wonderful. 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!

The damn annoying car noise is back. What the guy did lasted 2 1/2

You ****ing lying piece of capitalist shit. How come the Bush Cartel
can kidnap and torture me and be elected to office? Because maggots
like you deserve to be beaten to death. Dupont and Shell passed laws
allowing fossil fuels to be added to the hose. Nuke Congress.

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.

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. (laugh) You know I never said that last line, no one wants
that wooden spoon punishment for talking back.

Everyone knows that to drink water from a garden hose, you've got to
let the water run for a while first! Otherwise it tastes like the

Wrong on both counts Hoses for potable water are made of a
bacteriostat material and of non corrosive metal... potable water hose
is identifiable by being white.

Water standing in a hose for an extended period is the reason that I
don't like those kitchen spray thingies that are separate from the
faucet. The ones with a hose attached to the facet head are fine and
handy and get purged several times a day. The other designs are pretty
much algae farms.

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.

We're talking plain old garden hoses connected to common household
water, Sheldon. This isn't a specialized application where potable, gray
and black water have to be kept separate and plainly marked, or where
secondary water is being run through outdoor hose bibs.

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.

<links snipped>


I'm being less thick, dense and obtuse than you, evidently. 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. This
is going to be a long holiday weekend, Sheldon. I hope you have
something better to do than spoil for a fight all through it.

Anybody who drank out of hoses usually can smell and taste vinyl type
smells, especially if it's just turned on.

That's only true of relatively new garden hoses, that plastic smell
and taste disapates within a relatively short time, especially as
bacterial slime builds up inside those hoses. The hoses made for
potable water are made of different materials, especially the interior
ply that's of a special material that doesn't readily harbor
bacteria... also the couplings are made of a nonreactive metal. There
is nothing new about garden hose packaging being marked with warnings
about not to use them for drinking, those warnings have been displayed
for some fifty years. I know very well not to drink from the typical
garden hose but when outside on a hot day and watering plants I will
occasionally drink from the hose rather than walk all the way back
indoors for clean water. Most people who work with garden hoses will
drink from the hose but it's really not a good practice... especially
those garden hoses that live in the sun where the water inside
practically cooks, the plastic becomes brittle and develops many
microscopic cracks, increasing surface area many fold for harboring
bacteria and dissolves much more of the plastic. Common sense should
enable those with a brain to realize that hose manufacturers would not
be making special hoses for potable water consumption unless there wre
good reason. And there are directions for proper use of potable water
hoses, for one they are not supposed to be stored in the in direct
sunlight or allowed to over heat or freeze. Pennaline is not very
literate and loves to argue about that which she knows nothing...
those who don't possess good reading comprehension are those who argue
most about that which they know nothing... just a logical chain of
events; lack of comprehension produces stupidity. I like Pennyaline,
otherwise I wouldn't be expending my efforts on her... but I know that
she is your typical Norwegian, THICK! LOL

I do, and you are 100% correct. Imagine using the wrong hose for clean
water!

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.
