Yes I know that there are concerns about plastic - but like the song goes our Mom's drank, smoked, our cribs had lead paint - and most of us are still around - Heck just breathing the air, eating food (BBQ meats, overdone bacon)is all going to do us in.

I just was pointing out that that email wasn't true - that's all - but you are most likely right - plastic will be the new tobacco issues - omw can you imagine all the law suits.

We all gotta go some way...

Phly my Dasani water bottle is a b9 - where do I go look that number up at???

I'm not sure it's an issue with the pliable water bottles, Indiogirl.

I just think that plastic bottles left in the car give water a nasty taste. lol

Snopes.com is always a great check for things, I think.

Yeah, I'm not going to quit using my new water bottle. I'm just rotating the "poison" one
with the non-poison one!!

If you turn your plastic items over
and look on the bottom for the recycle icon....
little triangle...
the number inside the triangle is the indicator.
#7 is BAD, any other number is okay, I guess.

Cool

We are all trying to get healthier, and maybe live a little longer with the help of the band wright? So think about it and maybe just switch to glass. "if it matters to you" I don't use plastic, I use to work in a plastic factory and it might be good for some things, but I wouldn't drink out of it. I liked the point about the lead paint. Very True!!!
The only ones that are complaining about that in Detroit. Were the ones that let their children teeth on the painted woodwork. Those people sued. Don't no what they got, but i'm sure something.
End of subject.
Shirley...

I bought mine at a sport shop. I also have a stainless steel cup for work. You have to fill your own water into a bottle.

I bought a Siggs water bottle online from Amazon.com. They have different sizes, colors, etc. I fill it from my filtered water from the frig. It's cold, fits in my purse and car cupholder. You can add flavored, tea, juice, milk, etc. The designs are nice and I liked it so well I bought one for each of my 3 grandsons. Milk for the baby,choc milk for the 4 yr old and apple juice for the 7 yr old.
I believe I'm off to bed...I'd had to do more corrections than actual typing to this litte ditty. The sleeping pill is working its fine magic and making me seem totally illiterate. ENOUGH for tonight Off to her bed. More coherent days are coming.

Everyone have a nice evening.

banded yesterday

Hi everyone, got my band yesterday. The gas is really the toughest part, trying to walk every hour to see if it helps. Did anyone also have a hard time taking a deep breath? It hurts a lot right under my breast bone when I try to breath normally. Gralda
