Today [14.2¾]

[Arc]

Today I heard from my good friend Lee (marsmimar) who has been away for too long. Hopefully we'll be seeing more of him. A Guy

Hope lee is feeling better now. We are missing him a lot.

As if I hadn't enough obstacles in this thing they call a Real Life. This in mailbox today:

​

"Extremely high contamination (over 10,000 CFU/100 milliliter)", they have found legionella bacteria in water coming in to this apartment block. "Duschverbot" = shower ban, I am now supposed to be without shower and bath at least this week.

From Wikipedia:

​

We have over 10,000 in one tenth of a liter (100 milliliter = 0,1 liter)

Wow thats bad?

Can you drink?

 

[Kari]

Funny thing is that drinking the same water is not so dangerous; the bacteria spreads via the sprays and fumes caused by water when inhaled. Second page of that warning letter tells me I can drink but as long as this lasts, I should open all water tabs in apartment letting hottest possible water run for 10 minutes, then the same with cold water and this every second day.

The thing is, I have had quite serious issues past weeks with my Ménière's disease. It has caused a severe ear infection which in its turn causes low resistance, I was seeing a doctor and had MRI on Friday and I was especially warned about it. I should keep myself warm and clean, take extra good care of the personal hygiene and so on because at the moment I can catch anything much easier than normally.

In addition I am again going to see the doc tomorrow and on Monday and I am old school: I need to know I am clean and have clean underpants when seeing a doctor .

Since October last year I have been a living example of Murphy's Law. This follows the suit. If shit must happen it will happen to me.

If the Doctor is checking your ears by removing you underpants you may try getting another specialist.

Just joking with you Kari!

 

[HarriePateman]

Your not having good luck then mate, things will get better

Oh dear I think I'm losing it. Just spent a quarter of an hour trying to reconnect to my phone via bluetooth. Then I realised I didn't have the adapter plugged in. Ho Hum.

Angry, smelly, old man? Hang in there my friend. What doesn't kill you, only really pisses you off. I think that's the saying.

I believe Bill is allot closer to the actual saying when it comes to funky water
But as the saying is What doesn't kill you will make you stronger

I don't believe anyone in the u.s. drinks water out of the tap without one hell of a good filter on it
But bathing :/ yep no cheap choice there I'm afraid besides boiling it,
Cheers.

 

[HarriePateman]

We don't have filters in England

 

[kado897]

We do. It's just that they are in the water works.

[ThrashZone]

I believe every country uses water treatment facilities but no one I know trusts them completely

 

[Layback Bear]

I drink water out of the tap without a filter. To the best of my knowledge I'm not dead yet. What do you think people drank before some clown came up with bottled water. Then people lined up to drink tap water out of a bottle that was called sparkling on the bottle.

 

[ThrashZone]

But your a Bear Jack
I didn't say much about bottled water mostly filtered water is very common practice
Sometimes your most fears don't originate from the water it's self but the pipes it's supplied with
