Boil water!

*sigh* For the next three days, my area of town is under a "boil water" advisory after coliform bacteria was found in samples of our drinking water. Makes me wish I had well water!

Uh-oh. Has this happened before?

I thought the baby was coming!!!


Ya, that's no fun. But it sure wouldn't be at all if you got a sip of that stuff!!

Well, just remember to let it cool before you drink it.

I'm sure she will Rob

Uh-oh... hopefully everything will turn out okay...

Unless you are making tea. Then it works out pretty well.
Any tea drinkers here? I love Lapsang Soushong. Its a dark woody smoky flavored tea. Dee-lish-ous!!

Never tried Lapsang Soushong, Joe. I like Earl Grey and Darjeeling.

I do the same thing, Savannah, on the rare occasion we've had to boil water. I don't want to take a chance with the tap water either under those circumstances and go with the bottled.

Echinacea tea is delicious, and I like to make a blend of several kinds of mint that grow around my yard, too, with a little bit of lemon balm mixed in.

It sounds therapetic. And you can't Gomer me for that... you know why.

I haven't had any tea for quite a while, but this thread is making me want some.

To quote a wise man I know, "I'll be the judge of that."

Yes, it's quite a therapetic tea.

It once happened in Argentina some 15 years ago. But happily nothing too dramatic occured and there were not any fatal victims to complain. Don't worry...

Sounds like a book I wanna read.

Thanks, Vanesa! I'm happy to hear that nothing dramatic happened in your instance. I could use a little less drama in my life. I used to lead such a boring life....

I know....I'm wondering how long the bacteria has been in the water undetected.

That's the first thing I thought Savannah. Scary stuff....I hope this gets resolved soon! Nice that they're giving out bottled water though---I can only imagine how much of that they'll be needing!!

We're hearing reports that the water may have been contaminated for up to a month. No official word yet, though.

Oh my!!

That's very reassuring.

I think the last time we had to boil water was during that huge power outage in the north eastern part of the country. However many years ago that was.
