Removing chemicals and minerals from water...solutions??

Thanks WaterDragpn. Is this at the kitchen sink? Do you have another at the shower head? The link revealer provided reminded me of that. Then I think of the laundry area, so it makes sense to have a system that you can attach at the water source for the entire house if that's possible, though I know this isn't directly related to my original post, I know.

Removing chemicals and minerals from water...solutions??

I just had a look at the above website. A long list of harsh chemicals that are removed. Gee, I need to get something for home asap. I just emailed someone in admin at that regional hospital for the name of the system they use.

I'm sure you've helped put Lookin's mind at rest!

Removing chemicals and minerals from water...solutions??

Thanks revealer. It's so hard for people like myself to know the veracity of such scientific soundiong claims. I will look at the acquasana('holy water' in Italian..so we get blessed in the process??lol)site shortly.

It would be good to find something that does prevent all the mineral build up too, though as there was so much calcium build up in clumping formation, that I had to have removed. Much is still there, though I fear that short of ripping out some of the pipes and starting again, the challenge will remain.

I must find out what brand of underbench water filter is used in the regional hospital where I often go for work. I might call them as I won't be back there for weeks. I will let you know as they just built a brand new facility and would have researched the latest and best on the market.

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

Well, I can tell you that the opposite is no fun either...

I once started seeing a man who within the week had told me he loved me, sent non-stop text messages, numerous 'phone calls daily, to the point I felt almost suffocated. I had given him the benefit of the doubt with g/f's telling me how great it was that he was so keen...But I decided pretty quickly that he was a nutter and within 10 days, I chose never to see him or speak to him again despite his sending further text messages that finally died out. He truly was a basket case in the things he did and said.... I think I would have rather had him call only once in three weeks, ta muchly!!

So you see, never use frequency of 'phone call as the key litmus test!

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

Is that why you wear a helmet these days??

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

I do know what you mean. Really I do.

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

That shows effort though, surely?...He may have wanted to take things slowly at first, quite understandable, don't you think?

Anyhoo...I had better go.. should have gone to bed a half hour ago

p.s. you said he was local, but had to cross the sea...was that from another nearby island? I don't know my geography of Malta, sorry,lol

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

Putting aside any red flags you might have already picked up by then, he obviously had indicated in some way, of his desire to develop a relationship with you. So I am baffled as to why you set about being prescriptive such as about frequency of 'phone calls you would expect. That might worry any man. Not so much about the daily demand for 'phone calls, but it could make him conjure up 100 other demands you might make. Hence he would genuinely want to think about the implications of that.

I would personally allow the relationship to progress. Then if he had not called you over the coming days/weeks, you would have had clear evidence rather than mere projections. You both cut it short before it got off the ground. Perhaps you were each a bit hesitant and concerned, so the slightest reason to halt proceedings, you both grabbed it. As I aside, this is aside from any other possible red flags...JMO.

RE: Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls?

He is local? And he does not call you other than the one time?
he is clearly not interested enough. Emails seem to help some men pass the time and that is all. If a man is serious about wanting to get to know you, he will want to be in touch with you using different media.

I bet if you mention skype and how it would be completely free to talk via the internet, he would have a reason not to use that either. Try it and see.

Removing chemicals and minerals from water...solutions??

I wonder if anyone here has heard of, or better still, used this system of removing harsh minerals and chemicals from your water supply.

What are your thoughts and if you have used it, would you recommend it or maybe another brand/type?

I am considering installing it o/s to address the high calcium content in the water used. It creates havoc in the pipes.



Much appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Buying a car ?

You are projecting your own emotional colour to what you read. I honestly do not give a hoot personally as to what you decide to do. It is only the situation I am commenting on for the sake of discussion. After all, I expect you do want comments...hopefully, all comments, not just ones that you want to hear.

Good luck in what car you choose

RE: Money can buy happiness

It can do, depending on what you are going to do with that money....Unless yer a miserable soul, in which case the word happiness would not be in that person's vocabulary..

RE: "At Home with Julia" - too harsh or a serious hoot?

Hi daisy,

I watched it, though quite by accident rather than design as I was away for work and in my hotel room with the tele on, something I would not have been doing at home. It was a surprise to me as I didn't know it had even been made.

Like you, I thought it was a hoot, too. The only thing harsh I thought was Julia's Aussie drawl!!...Gee, the actress did such a good job. Dear Tim was the true house 'husband', wasn't he? I loved the scene when he was rummaging through the recycling bin and fished out the packet of sausages, next thing they're in the blender...and what about the 'home brew'??lol...The Julia walk was to a tee!!

RE: Buying a car ?

See what you've done? It's all your fault, jimbob.

Just kidding..

RE: Buying a car ?

Why do you feel people here are trying to control you, jimbob? We are all only making comment. It's what happens when you start a thread.

I don't think anyone gives a hoot what you end up doing. Well, I could be wrong. There might be peeps here who invest emtional energy on these forums. I sure don't. Remember, it is only a CS forum.

RE: Buying a car ?

Sorry Merriweather. I thought I had stated what you don't have, not what you do have. It was actually yourself who stated that you bought a new car outright, revealing to all that you could afford one. I thought that was pretty personal

Funny, init...just recently I asked you to please not reveal my personal information to others you speak to and you told me not to be so paranoid

RE: Mining Jobs

I understand BHP Billaton is huge. it really depends on which State you want to go on. Lots of mining both in WA and SA.

Sounds great. You will make a bucketload. And think of all the men you will be exposed to!!!

RE: Lazy Sundays ....

thanks Prowler, you're all heart!

RE: Lookin for Mr Lookin

See what I mean, P?...I just got this one from Australia.

Hello

Good Evening,How are you doing there? Your picture has really caught my attention and i do indulge you in many ways,Would you like to get acquainted and from there figure out the chemistry?. here is my contact deatils xxxxxxx@yahoo.com email me and i will reply you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I care

they all seem to care.

RE: Lazy Sundays ....

My Sunday has been anything but lazy. I woke up this morning and could hardly move from nealry 2 hours of heavy going whipper snipper of badly overgrown backyard. I haven't stopped since, including shovelling dirt and shirfting stones right up to an hour ago. I'm knackered!!!

Your Sunday sounds nice.

RE: Buying a car ?

I think you were in a very different position. Not having a mortgage puts a different light on things. You then have disposable income regardless of your earnings.

In the end, it's all personal preference, I know. Even when I had lots of spare money when I was single and living with my parents, I chose to have a modest vehicle and invest in my first property instead. It's not to say I don't like new cars. Of-course I do.

With my son, thank goodness I was able to instill some good money sense. While all his young and not so young friends drive around in recent model cars, he doesn't even have his license yet, but he has bought himself his first property. Next, he will think about a car.

There is a great argument for a new car when you 'buy' one on some payment plan where most of the monthly repayments are tax deductible for your business, hence reducing your taxable income. Every few years you upgrade and continue monthly payments. I know some who do this.

Each to their own.

RE: Have you ever .........?

Could be..

RE: still single? Did you ever wonder.....

ermmmm...no....leave me out of this, Lookin...they were Merriweather's own words to you about prodding her with your jackhammer.

RE: still single? Did you ever wonder.....

oops, re above, I forgot to include the quote marks. It was a section of Merriweather's post I was highlighting.

RE: still single? Did you ever wonder.....

Ummm,,,, I dont want to be coming back to Adelaide covered in holes...from you prodding me with your jack hammer... Jeez...

RE: Lookin for Mr Lookin

Only if I can have Jessie, my border, to cuddle up to in the back











(you will have to tie us both up. It's law.)

RE: "" LAST CHANCE ""

You wouldn't want me anywhere near you, Lookin! I would cut off your beard the moment you're not lookin'...then I would hide your beer bottles to get rid of your tum and save your liver...then force you to
chase me around the block so you get lots of exercise.

I'm sure there is someone out there for you, Lookin. Be patient and think positively. Worrying and fretting over it will only work against getting what you want...

RE: "" LAST CHANCE ""

Why don't you email Miss bluejay herself and find out?

RE: Buying a car ?

I never have 'a fit' over anything you or anyone else writes here on the forums, jimbob....at times I might appear animated, but I certainly don't use any emotional energy over any posts.

As for this one of yours, I have no opinion. You seem to be someone who makes up his mind and would not budge even if confronted by a herd of elephants.
