hahahaha! Too funny!
Well, seems we missed all the late night action....all 11 pages of it!
Whiteflare.... the droughts have been terrible havn't they? I remember being back there in 08 (Qld) soooo dry and severe water restrictions.
When I got back here, I was on the lookout for rainwater tanks..none to be found! It's only this year I have found some..mostly rain barrells to collect water for the garden..but sheesh! People don't do enough to conserve water. One place..um Cape Coral I think it was, it is illegal to collect rainwater!
They want you to pay for it (ie city water) I collect rainwater for my fishtanks mostly and potted plants. The city water has 5 times more chlorine in it than a swimming pool! it was burning my tomato plants. Let alone drinking it!
I get bottled water all the time.
And don't even talk to me about the recycling! Not many people here do it..even though a bin is provided. I even heard that even though they collect it it is all burned anyhow...I just don't get it.
I hope the weather has evened out for you guys over there and no more floods.
Yeah, I had a little giggle in math.
Yeah, I'm glad I found some crazy all-nighters, or I'd get too lonely on here by myself
I know, water conservation is absolutely terrible! hardly anything's really being done about it - we've managed to get our water use down to the average for a one-person household with no garden (our garden is huge) by using buckets to collect rainwater, our tank, and saving vegetable-washing water to do things like mop the floor and flush the toilet. Toilets use a lot of water.
Yup, it's gotten a lot better recently, back to the usual 'overcast with a chance of rain'.
I'll reply to your PM in a minute, I'm really busy right now. *rushes around frantically*
