This is in regard to my water bill that just arrived for $500 as opposed to $275-300. Expected this to go up because we finally finished our landscaping and new plants need lots of water.
One thing led to another, however, and I went on a rampage about the EPA. Examples:
If I want a hot shower, I need to plan ahead – turn on the faucets and go ahead with other errands around the house. By the time the temp has reached a bearable level, the water has been running for 15 minutes. Conservationism here?
Back to the shower… the water pressure is so low it takes me 20 minutes to rinse shampoo from my hair. How is this conserving? There seems to be some ill-conceived notion that people like cold showers and left-over shampoo in their hair. Um… NOT!
The same thing goes on in the kitchen washing dishes or bathrooms washing hands (as we are constantly advised to do). On a more delicate note, I have to flush toilets twice because there isn’t enough water to take care of the simplest needs.
It seems to me that we have regressed in modern improvements only to make life more difficult for the avg citizen AND waste more water! There is plenty of the wet stuff particularly in the more tropical states and even in Fresno Valley, CA where pols are diverting water to urban areas instead.
Stay clean and good luck to the farmers who produce my irreplaceable bibb lettuce. Carly Fiorina was on your side yrs ago running for Senate but couldn’t get the votes.

It makes me feel lucky that I live in a very old house? I dont know much about this, but get the feeling these stupid regulations apply to new construction?

People around here use wells but because we’re so close to “Georgia clay,” my hairdresser tells me she spends a good 25% of her time stripping her clients’ hair of this strange red color.
Mon Dieu! This would kill me. 🙂

American whites are all racists which meant E Pluribus Unum was a lie from the get-go so that motto was eventually replaced with “In God We Trust” which turned out to be an even bigger lie.
My proposal for the correct and final motto for our increasingly ridiculous and obviously suicidal country: “Fix It ‘Till It’s Broke”
It (my proposed motto) may not be perfect English because I felt the need to add a bit of Ebonics to shore up my wokeness bona fides.

It’s also a scam. In the state of Florida, there are hurricanes, flooding and beaucoup tropical storms. We have to take out expensive flood insurance policies to live here but are instructed when and how long we can use our lawn sprinkling systems. ???
Scarcity my a**. This is defined as unnecessary tax revenue.

I only bring up such a seemingly trivial topic because it’s all part of “the plan” to make the American dream- home ownership – unaffordable.

Nothing trivial about this post and besides, all topics are welcome here. ST Unleashed! does not have to be about only neurosurgery and rocket science all of the time. Maybe we could even talk about girls sometimes?

I noticed a “like” from an interesting Miss Misbha. I’m curious to hear more from you based on your exotic name alone. 🙂
