    I just prefer plain water.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    The GF likes that flavored water, me, not so much.

    I can't stand Gatorade, Powerade, Vitaminwater, etc. The drops just add a little electrolytes and potassium if we're working out....I think I drink more water when I swim than when I bike or walk...
    Your GF would probably like the MiO....

    She probably would.
    Last time I went swimming, I drank a LOT of (river) water...I almost drowned!

    We used to dive off a bridge that was replaced, they said all the remains of the old bridge was removed...they weren't and I hit a piece of it knocking the wind out of me. I haven't been in the water since.

    You're so lucky...that would certainly be scary...
    There are definitely no diving/swimming "zones"...we used to ignore them, too...thinking back to quarries and some other spots we used to frequent with reckless abandon, we're all lucky to be alive...

    Lucky for sure. I just made it to a pier, I doubt I could have swam another 15-20 yards.

    Oh no! I can't drink beer for that reason. When I had my first two kids, it was back in the days of "natural" childbirth so there were no epidurals given. It hurt. A lot. Gout hurts just about as bad. Here's something about gout and certain beverages:

    Good morning one and all. Wonder of wonders we have more green than dirt in the front and back yards.

    Not so well. We tried putting a mobile greenhouse over him didn't help very much. But I think I have found a place to move him to that will shade him from direct sunlight except for about an hour a day. Problem is moving him. I am going to try to load him in my truck I just hope the truck will fit where I want to move him to. He weighs about 2 or 3 hundred pounds.

    I hope you have someone to help you with that. Sorry to hear that he's not flourishing. Just in case, have you thought of taking a cutting to root inside as a houseplant, to keep him going if he doesn't make it outdoors? I hope you can figure out something. Maybe one of those canopy things you can get for a picnic?
