My head is starting to hurt from all this "American Bashing". []

I just love being intellectually insulted in such a gentlemanly manner.  I do hope sir, that you did bow as doing so, but be careful as an arrow may shoot you in  your pompous behind.  Cheers! Just kidding...hehe  ;-)

Another target for your bow:-
"Los Angeles-based British actor Tim Curry didn't pause for a second when asked what he missed most about the UK.
 "Irony," he replied. "  []

No doubt...just stereotyping of course!

[moonfire]

Hmmmmm, interesting...I could say something to bash this little, wittle statement, but have decided that the diplomatic way to handle this is to RISE above this.  I do appreciate many cultures and know my roots are from Germany as my Father and Mother are both from different regions of that beautiful country.  I could mention many things about my heritage, but it does not matter as I am the first generation here in America.  I love all people and refuse to "stereotype" anyone based on one or two examples of stupidity or ignorance, whatever the case will be in that circumstance...I shall be the first to raise the American flag in an apologetic mode to all my wonderful English friends and those who choose to only stereotype and not get to know me any further than that!  So be it.

Kisses and Hugs to all of you!  LOL  (Not the death kiss either!)

Carolyn should bottle her orange rusty water and sell it as a tonic,
Oops someone has beaten you to it ...

 yet it is currently listed as a banned substance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."

Hopefully by Wednesday of this week, I will have a new water softner installed, which should take care of all of my water issues.  YAY!!!

I opine that Carolyn should investigate a home water treatment system, perhaps reverse osmosis.

[Heliotrope]

Also, since I'm a bit fanatical about clean hands and nails, I scrub them daily with bleach.  Is that going to kill me?

First off I'd stop scrubbing your hands with bleach.
Not a good thing to be doing.
Frankly I'm surprised that you have any nails or skin left.

I concur.  Had one installed yesterday.  Water is much better now.

Enjoy the new water Mam...glad it's all sorted !

Hi Carolyn,
just a few questions now that you seem to be safe with your 'new' water and softener-system working fine:
don't you have a sort of Water Surveillance Council or similar Federal or State institution who takes care of water (and people) safety?
Is your problem common in the area where you live?
Same stinky and colouring showers for your neighbours too?
You better check again for any sleeping volcano close to your home []
(joke) [] []
Arrivederci!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, water problems are quite the norm here.  There are alot of people here that have the same problems or even worse with their water.  I'm sure it's because we are on the Gulf Coast.
