Water closet?

Chas, I grew up in Brown County Ohio. We're pretty hillbilly there too. I'm not quite sure I agree. But I have a suggestion and one that I can make from personal experience- move. There's a great world out there. One where threatening to shoot someone isn't a greeting.

I'm not so sure that threats of a committing a felony on someone are as endearing as you think. What do you say when you meet an attractive woman?

I suppose she's in the public eye by choice, and therefore has to take the good with the bad.

But I do tend to feel sorry for not only her, but for anyone who is hounded by the press and the paparazzi. Especially when they're just trying to take the day off.

And I do mean everyone, not just my little sweetheart.

By the way Noon, don't mistake my whisperings of sweet nothings as an indication of my blind devotion to my tender young lass from the Arctic. I haven't bought her book, nor do I intend to.

I just don't hate her guts like you do. And I can't resist pulling your string on occasion.

But enough of this, let's deal with an issue of consequence. Is it too early to pop a top?

Chas

Somehow, I don't see you ever feeling sorry for Prez Obama, although he catches more steaming shit than a porta-potty at a chili cook-off.

I am guesing, "what up sista" would not work?

[BlueStreak]

Well, if it's okay to greet someone by threatening to shoot them, I guess greeting an attractive woman would go sumpthin' like this;
"WooHoo! Look at that beehind! I'd like ta shove some hot beef up dat poop chute! What do ya say there, ya hot little palomino, wanna bend over my tailgate right quick?"

You must be a tough old bird, clearing 150' of driveway and then polishing off a Sam Adams.

I'm fortunate that I only have a 20x24 swath of drive to clear. And with three FWD's, I don't have to do a very good job. Besides, I've got a crew. I send them out in the old Dodge with shovels, take care of my mother, mother in law, next door neighbor who's on oxygen, and any other poor muck I can think of. That way they can make a little money on a day where they couldn't have worked anyway. My mom, bless her heart, will tip them.

Just call me Good Neighbor Sam,

Good on you Chas. BTW we had an acid neutralizer installed so I should not be losing any more shower goosnecks. I went to change the washing machine hoses to steel sheathed ones. Turned off both faucets but pulled the knob just to check - water was still flowing. After I replaced the faucets I saw that the seats in the old ones were eaten away. Acid indegestion, who me?

To Fast Eddie, Blue Streak, and Noon,

Don't expect me to defend the way I live, because it suits me just fine. Besides, we only offer to shoot our best of friends, and not that often. Most of the time we just offer to kick one another's ass.

Gawd, you jokers wouldn't last 15 minutes at Beer Camp!!!!!! Probably get pissed off if you lost five bucks in a nickle ante poker game.

And a couple of other points:

1. I said that I was beginning to feel sorry for Obama ONCE. No need for me to defend him here as you all seem to think the sun rises from his ass.

2. We treat the wimmen folk with respect. Even the one's who are tough enough to set through a game of seven card. Behaving any different would probably get your ass kicked BY your best of friends...and without an apology!!!!

3. We love our ignert hillbilly heritage around here. It's a tradition....sort of a way of showing respect for the truly ignert hillbillies who came before us.

And what's wrong with that?

And by the way, Merry Christmas to you mucks, always trying to pick a fight, disparage another's heritage, too busy attacking my provincialism to realize that you're viewing me through the lens of political correctness...or your own provincialism.

I wasn't put on this Earth to make everyone else happy!!!! And I ain't about to try.

It's hard for me to imagine the water out there being so acidic. As I mentioned, the local fellow from Maryland told me that the water would eat copper pipes, which I also found difficult to believe.

BTW, I've never heard of an acid neutralizer. The water here in Missouri is extremely hard, we run a softener, and it makes a big difference. The only fixture which is plumbed with hard water is the cold tap on the kitchen sink, and it builds up with calcium. Which I clean with white vineguar, which I'm sure that you're aware is extremely acidic. Also works great on cleaning up the water/ice port on a side by side fridge.

I'm also surprised that your water would eat a faucet/hose bib to the point that they wouldn't even shut off. They're brass, nothing too much to brag about as they're basically a shutoff valve, don't have chromed replaceable seats, but anything beyond a drip would surprise me.

Just out of curiousity, do you have a problem with calcium buildup? If your water is as acidic as I've been led to believe, I would think that calcium would be nonexistent in your environment. Since vineguar removes it.

I was around sulfur water in Texas, smelled like rotten eggs, slick as snot on a doorknob...could barely stand up in the shower, and I never had the guts to drink it. Like one old Texan told me, "they say it won't hurt you, but it will kill a plant, and I ain't drinkin' nothin' that will kill a plant. Think he lived on Lone Star. I suppose Lone Star DID smell a little better.

About the only thing that it wouldn't kill was a cockroach. Don't ask my opinion of Texas, it would shock Phil Sheridan.

Now the water in this part of Missouri smells good, and it tastes good. Hard as a rock but you can drink it. Get out around Warrensburg and it has sulfur...one of the reasons Missouri was known as the "Puke" state, along with the "Outlaw" state. Guess they'd never been to Texas.

But acidic water is new to me. I'd like to find out a little about it.

Take care,

Chas
