Ah yes. Wasn't your love for pizza a meme here for a while?

Eh...I'm probably going to sound dumb for saying this but what did this meme look like?

[PluMGMK]

Just Ray making nightly posts like "< is going to heat up the oven", which we all understood to mean he was about to cook a pizza!

[The Jonster]

Great now I want pizza

But for now I'll wait til my parents are working since they don't like having pizza in the house due to my notorious nature of eating half the pizza, and then some.

So mashed potatoes, beans and chicken then

I am going to make a smoothie later with strawberries, bananas, peanut butter, spinach, and vanilla yogurt as part of my diet. To me it actually sounds delicious

[Steo]

Speaking of diet, I really have to do something about mine. All the caffeine and whatever else is wreaking havoc on my reflux. It doesn't make me feel very well

[The Jonster]

I really should strop drinking coffee so much, it's not something I should be drinking even though I love it. I used to hate drinking water, but now I don't mind it. I prefer bottled water, and more preferably sparkling water. Hmmm....this reminds me of a video I watched of people drinking RAW water, not sure if that's going to become a trend.

Same here. I drank a lot of the pink lemonade flavor of Kool-aid, and one day about 8 months ago I decided to stop drinking that and replace it with water. I didn't care for it at first, but then I started to like drinking water. Pizza and water is a much better combination than pizza and Kool-aid.

I think I'm honestly going to have to start drinking a lot of water and cut down on tea, maybe even decaf tea instead in moderation. Something is clearly making me feel ill and I think I may go visit my GP but that's another story.

I think I should start making sure to drink a lot of water, though at first it won't seem very exciting. I guess I could use diluted orange or blackcurrant too though.

I find if I drink lots of water without some kind of food going with it, it kind of hurts my throat. I think it might be because it's chlorinated to remove bacteria. I would much prefer if tap water were instead subjected to UV treatment, though I guess the economic factors are in favour of nasty chlorination.

[The Jonster]

I wonder if a water filter might help with that?

I just read an interesting article that is making me change my views on bottled water as a whole. Never knew exactly how many disadvantages there possibly could be when getting water bottles. Perhaps I should start using the stainless steel bottle in my kitchen, though I don't really like how tap water from the kitchen tastes either. I find it odd for me to say that I like the tap water from my bathroom the best, judge me if you will for being extremely weird for thinking that.

I don't know about USA but I certainly would not drink bathroom tap water from houses in Ireland. They're gravity fed from an attic tank and not mains fed like the cold kitchen tap. I wouldn't deem that as drinkable and it would make you sick.

I'm not sure. I'd say boiling out is the best way to get rid of chlorine gas dissolved in water (which is why my tea is fine I guess).

Yeah, doesn't bottled water expose you to risks of being poisoned with dioxins? And of course, I've already made my views on imported water known. As for the difference between the kitchen and bathroom, difference in uses could have led to different conditions in the pipes or the taps themselves. I'm not sure what exactly those would be though. Is it possible that one of them is softened and the other isn't?

In my house, the cold water in the downstairs toilet is mains fed, but every hot tap and every tap upstairs is attic fed, so yeah.

Oh yeah, I forgot that method I think can work too. And I recently made tea yesterday too...hm for some reason I want to test that old red kettle in my kitchen for the next cup of tea I'm making today.

All that's mains fed here is the kitchen cold tap, washing machine and dishwasher. Even the electric shower is gravity fed and pumped. The toilet is gravity fed too so we've actually had problems in the past from the water going off and all the dirt clogging up the stopcock making it fill really slow.

So yeah if your tank runs empty and you turn the tap on after it refills, just look at the amount of big lumps of dirt that come out if the taps and then realise why I don't drink it

I actually remember drinking the water as a kid from the bathroom one day because I didn't know and then spent the whole next day throwing up.

[The Jonster]

No it's the same here. And to be honest I haven't drank any of that tap water since high school, even though I liked it. I never did throw up from it though...
Boiling water seems like a good idea, but I like cold water. Hmmm...

[Fifo]

You guys are making me feel nauseated with all this dirty water talk

[The Jonster]

Ehehe, well I suppose I'm to blame for bringing up this whole conversation about water.

Since we're talking about different kinds of water, I'm now tempted to do some research on sea salt, since it comes from the ocean..

[Steo]

It's fine, just don't drink the poison (bathroom tap water)

[The Jonster]

Oh yes, don't remind me.

Hm, from what I resaerched in a few minutes, I have learned that sea salt has no more nutritional value than regular salt. Oh well, glad I never got any! Who were those lunatics who believed that sea salt was healthier anyway???
