"Stay out of the damn lakes" and don't use some plastic water bottles

[4orm]

Thanks OP - BPA and chemical plastic softeners are major hormone distrupters. Not only to children but adults as well. And probably snakes

I, for one, avoid buying the stuff and take with me a stainless steel bottle. Easy to clean, and I know it'll never crack no matter how many times my baby throws it.

To say that the water in the lakes is used in the drinking fountains is just spreading bad information.


Of course I have had the drinking fountain water. But I haven't drank out of the lakes lately.

I think the PP was joking! Chill!

Great info OP thanks

I doubt the poster was being serious! But heck, I think Dasani tastes like stinky lake water.

Thank heavens for Smartwater!

LOVE Smartwater - the extra tall bottles!

I had a very bad case of pneumonia this year.....barely got out of bed. You know how men can be frantic and helpless at the same time? That was my DH. He didn't know what to do and each time he would venture out to CVS, he would bring back bottles of Smartwater for me.

Each time I see a bottle, I think of how caring my DH was that week.

Thanks for the reminder...and the smile.


ps.......I gave up riverwater drinking fountains! More water for everyone else.

AS a chemist, I find the BPA research to be sketchy at best. All they have proven thus far is a statistical link NOT causality. In other words there is a link between those who use BPA products and negative results, but there ahs never benn any proff at all that BPA is the cause of those negative results.Stats are very easily manipulated through the demographics chosen for them and many other factors. I will belive that there is solid science to this when I see said solid science, not statistical manipluation to cause a media frenzy. This happens all the time, the media blows something up wth the whole "the thing that will kill your children.... after the break" bit, and it turns out there is NO solid science behind any of it. I think that is likely the case here, although the jury is still out.

I agree with this. It's sort of like saying that eating oranges causes cancer. If I ask 100 cancer patients if they have eaten oranges and the majority says yes, then there is my statistical evidence. Remember when they told us aluminum pots and pans caused alzheimers?

I'd rather air on the side of caution when it comes to things like this and ingest as few manmade chemical compounds as possible.

Can I fill my plastic bottle with lake water?

Yes, as long as you don't swim in it.

....
i do not like bisphenol...
I do not like it, not at all

You're not a snake!

How do you lure the snake into the bottle? I'm confused.

I dunno. Fill the bottle with Tequila? Don't you pay more for the Tequila bottle with the worm in it?

But the same thing can be said about anything.... ask 100% of heroin users if they've had milk. Give your kids milk and they'll be drug addicts. Causal links are hard to prove (hello tobacco industry).
Personally I like the tried and true. Good ol' glass and steel containers.

I totally agree with you. I want to bring my own Aqua Valley Spring water with me. Only problem is I am flying this time.

Be aware that the Washington Post is NOT the most reliable source for scientific data. They have their own agenda at work in what they choose to report or not report. Not exactly objective news.

Wait, I thought that the lake water was $2.50 a bottle?

$3.50 if you want a snake in it.

I just bring my refillable mug from my 2002 trip and fill it with the pool water while I'm pool hopping, that way I avoid the snakes.

This is the funniest thread I have read in a long time! I really needed a good laugh this morning.

Plus, the chlorine kills any germs that may be in the water.
A win/win!

Could you would you buy park hoppers?
Could you would you with snake bottle stoppers?

 

[AJKMOM]

$3.50 if you want a snake in it.

How much for a baby alligator in it?

 

[missnate]

I am loving the rhymes!!!

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Could you would you buy park hoppers?

more, more, more!!

 

[DCTooTall]

Oh What shall we Do?
Should we listen to you?

Do we avoid the Lake?
Or simply the snake?

Do I drink from the fountain?
Or drink from Splash Mountain?

Why's it so hard to get a drinky?
when all I want to do is see Mickey?

 

[d1gitman]

i hear there is an outbreak of snakes in peoples boots over in Frontierland...
