    Agreed. I don't want to die (or nearly so again) from bad water. <shudder>

    Then again, lots of third world countries do this all the time. Some die, but others must adapt to it and thrive.

    iirc you have "When Technology Fails," right? He brings up humanure in it, and I know there are composting toilets and such on the market, so the concept itself wouldn't bother me with enough research. Its just setting it up properly pre-event I'd think...

    Bad water still scares me though. That was too many hours in the hospital.

    Downwind while you're at it!!! Also on a septic system, and plan on continuing to be on one for the foreseeable future...
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    I've also been thinking( there she goes again, off in left field) of converting the toilets in the house to composting toilets and or burn toilets.I was reading an article about composting and burn toilets. It sounded fascinating.

    composting toilets will work more in your favor over burn toilets, just my .02 cents!
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
