Or the source of your tap water is contaminated.

Yeah, by ancient pipes. The pipes going to the house are easily over 40 years old, and the mains are probably close to 70.

I would be dubious about drinking tap water in big cities as a regular part of my life:

One source of unwanted oestrogen is tap water in big cities where the water is recycled. With millions of women on the pill and HRT relieving themselves into a city´s water supplies, and little attention paid to filtration of the hormone, recycled tap water has become a little risky.

Plastic bottled water doesn´t help. Indeed, plastic packaging on all drinks and food stuffs leaches phthalates, which are ´oestrogen mimics´ into the food and drink in varying quantities. Plastics can also leach BisPhenol A, a chemical now banned in certain countries - it comes in bottles, dummies, babies´ feeding bottles and even plastic toys.

I often have some bottled water, for if I am going out or something, but usally use reusable bottles with tap water.

But after my town's water was contaminated in 2000, I was forced onto bottled water for a year while they tried to clean it up, then it was so heavily chlorinated that it was nearly undrinkable.

NYC has the best Tap water.

Is there a way for a third party to get some sort of restraining order to keep two people from meeting? It involves a friend in the U.S. I'm worried about. Both people live in different states. Long story made short: One told me she's a pedophile. The other one is a minor. They are both going to meet. I told the minor what the older one said, but the minor refuses to listen to me.

(If anybody had seen my similar post from months back: YES, this is the same people. However, when I reported her, nothing came of it. )

Is it possible for a woman to be a pedophile? Assuming I read your post correctly, you said she.

Yes the question sounds ignorant, but think about it. Aside from a few stories of high school and middle school teachers (the boys were hardly kids), how many women pedophiles are there? And they don't seem to kill their victims afterwords like men do.

This woman told me she was a pedophile. Later, she claimed she was joking, but I still don't trust her. (Especially since she once tried to extract my address so she could "send me a present.")

 

[Virote_Considon]

She tried to send you a present? Scoundrel!

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

She tried to send you a present? Scoundrel!

Well, she later said that she wasn't going to send it because I was annoying her, when I had done nothing out of the ordinary. So I suspect there was no present in the first place and she just wanted my address.

Question: There are rumors around my school that I'm pregnant with Tom Petty's lovechild. I'm serious. What's a good, witty response to this if somebody asks me if it's true?

Options:
1)
Them: Aimee, you're pregnant with TP's lovechild!
Aimee: No, I'm just fat.
2)
Them: Aimee, you're pregnant with TP's lovechild!
Aimee: Love's got nothing to do with it.
3)
Them: Aimee, you're pregnant with TP's lovechild!
Aimee: No I'm not.


Hmmm... I'm not as witty as I thought I was. Sorry.

 

[Disgustipated]

yes you are pregnant and are going to name your daugther Mary Jane (from Mary Jane's last dance)

I don't remember what year the Walkerton contamination happened; is this the one, or related to it?

Aimee, what she did is called "luring" and it's a crime that should be reported to the police. Even now, it's not too late.

Option #1: Just stare at the person blankly and ask, "Now why would you ask such an ignorant question?" Then walk away.

Option #2: Just walk away. Don't say anything.

I suppose somehow the rumor got started because within the last few months I had to change my medications and the change makes my stomach bloat out quite a bit.

What Love said.

We have AWESOME tap water. I have no need for bottled water. Even if Im downtown, I just go to a toilet at some random restaurant and drink the tap water in their restrooms

 

[say1988]

Bingo. After there was paranoia and for quite a while you could smell the chlorine whenever anyone in the house turned a tap on. It got better, but it is still just nasty.
I know a lot of people, largely those who got sick that completely refuse to drink tapwater anywhere. Basically just paranoia.

Seriously doubt this. I think it's trolling, teasing, playing. No real pedophile goes around saying they are a pedophile. That's just silly. Anyways that's just my opinion. It may be be safe rather than sorry, so it's your call.

Has anyone here used Royal Mail for purchases?

I'm contemplating buying some tickets from someone via this site. It looks legit, but that doesn't always mean anything...

I'm leaning towards not doing this because the tickets are listed so cheap; it just doesn't quite feel right.

edit: after a little more looking around, and a "you have to buy now" email, I'm going to pass on this.

 

[Tekee]

Where should I shave? Over a sink? over a bathtub? Where is the best place to shave for my plumbing?

Also, why should I use shaving cream? Should I go without shaving cream?

Also, How often should I replace my one-time use razors?

 

[Takhisis]

I do it over a sink, usually.

 

[cardgame]

Your plumbing? lol

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Me too. And i just use warm or hot water, no shaving cream.
