Living Large

I am a risk-taker. I flagrantly ignore the warnings about Dioxin poisoning from "Johns Hopkins". I refill my Aquafina bottle at the sink (at home) and at the water fountain (at work).

I don't drink directly from the water fountain - that would be gross, of course. But everyone knows that letting the water flow for a few moments before filling up a water bottle allows for all the germs to be washed away, and your water bottle is then filled with delicious, fresh, practically distilled water. You could iron with it.

But really. What could be grosser than having the water pressure from the fountain drop drastically, while I am filling up my oh-so-sterile water bottle, as someone in the nearby bathroom flushes the toilet?

Ooooohhhh! That would leave you with a gross feeling.

Sarahlynn, knowing you the way I do, I just couldn't help but laugh at this - it IS gross, but I can just hear you saying it and imagine you experiencing it and, well, it tickles me.

Lizzi is doing well, by the way. When it came time for bed, Dylan promptly called her the way he always does - he loves having her there.

This happened at my old gym all the time. Maybe my dog had the right idea after all...

But why is it gross? It is all the same water that has been working its way through human bodies for all of history. There is just something to the sound of a toilet, I guess.

Gosling, that is so gross. Edie, it may be the same water, but I don't drink from the toilet, or my own urine, either, so . . .
