Hi everyone. Don't usually post here, but the *water day* caught my attention.

OK, I'm surprised. Maybe it's the climate difference or something. Don't you all drink that much water every day??? It's like 90% humidity here, so I guess we're losing a lot of water in perspiration in this heat. If we didn't drink water all day we'd be dehydrated.

My daughter and I have been having a cabbage soup day every week lately. Well, sometimes we have two cabbage soup days a week. We notice that it seems to be a diuretic. Not sure what it's about, might be the cabbage or might be the onions lol.

the tendancy to drink soda's, sports drinks, energy drinks has become so common. but plain water...for most it has gotten to be a lost habit.

i'm usually really good about drinking water. i just wasn't so much when the cold weather set in. hot herbal teas ( weak..so i am really getting lots of water..but still not the same) seemed to be what i was drinking.


but boy in the summer...drinking a gallon a day is about my norm.

ps...good to see you here.

Thanks, curious.

Yeah, you're right. I was just thinking about how I don't like to drink much water in winter here, and heck it's not very cold in our winter. I tend to drink more teas in winter too and really find myself forcing water down. I always make sure I have water bottles ready cold in the fridge for when any of us leave the house. It's getting expensive buying decent water though. Some of the bottled water that's cheap tastes like plastic. *yuk

Could be worse. I went to an island up the coast years back and the only water they had there in this huge resort was water which was shipped across in a tanker every now and then. The water tasted like gasolene. *yuk again

good luck to you all with your water drinking... don't go overboard though. What goes in has to come out.

Heart Gaye~

Gaye, what do you usually drink? I wouldn't drink more than 8 glasses a day in your case. Try to stop after supper or you will be up all night. Sometimes I am. I like peach tea. Probably comes from GA. LOL Have you ever got the Walmart brand? I think I'll freeze some and see if I like it that way. I don't put as much water in as it calls for. It is to weak for me that way.

I must be nuts! I keep smelling smoke off a fire for two days now. I have checked everything I can think of. There is no smoke, it is just a "smell". I even changed those room air fresheners and I still smell it. I checked my neighbors place and nothing. It smells like trying to burn wet leaves. Now I am using spray. Bear looks at me like I a have went bonkers. Diet is going fine. It's my mind now!

I drink Arizona Diet Green Tea most of the day and fill a 42 oz bottle at least once a day. I only drink that until 5 or so. Then its only water for the rest of the night. I have a 32 oz bottle I just bought and I usually fill that once during the night. I like to have water next to my bed to take meds during the night.
Yes I pee like a racehorse daily! That is why I never got a kidney stone!

Now that is funny! It is funny to, how we women have to stand in line at a restroom and men don't. Ever notice that?
