What from your childhood would be UNTHINKABLE today?

How's this, then.  You "Lead Hose Conspiracists" take your cigars and brandy and adjourn to the smoking room and discuss like gentlemen.

This is how we talk in the smoking room too.

How about you go back in the kitchen where you belong and fix everybody a sandwich?

Peanut butter or Nutella?

It's too bad that your bitchiness has become like white noise.

And yet I'm not the one whining about Berkut's parenting.

[Berkut]

You are as bad as Berkut.  Only you are closer in temperament to being a mom.

How so?

Like I said, I don't see a problem if Berkut has the hose run before letting his kids drink from it. You've said yourself that your kids would likely/in fact do that.

According to the warning he posted earlier "flushing" is different then simply letting the hose run, which it also says you should do.  Which is why I am bugging him about that.  But thanks for joining the thread.

No, flushing is exactly wht the word means - letting the water in the hose run out before using it to drink from.

Which is why I found it odd that you would claim that this was some kind of hysterical over-protection while stating that your kids are smart enough to do the exact same thing.

Well, he's saying that the kids do it to get to the cold water while you're saying that you do it because of lead contamination.  But, yeah, you're right--while the motives may be different, the action is the same.

[Berkut]

But, yeah, you're right

Lets just focus on the important part.

So, CC, this is about where you can kneel down and suck it.

Flusing it first of course.   

Anyway, you guys always make me chuckle (when I'm not being one of you  )

While enemas are useful, I think that's beyond the scope of this exercise.

You need to jump in at some point with another topic.  I think I have baited Berkut about as much as humanly possible on the present line.

Just about the weakest possible "I got my ass kicked" response there is.

"Haha, I was just trolling all along!" is only slightly more lame than "ZOMG! You guys cannot take joke!"

[Ed Anger]

I want my goddamn sandwich. Damned lazy women.

Go flush your hose.  Your kids might be sucking out the water as we speak.

I feel bad for Berkut's kids.
