~~~~~Oh, I hear you. When I talk about how much water I drink a day, that's

EXACTLY what I mean - I don't count my tea in the morning (herbal - no

caffeine), or anything else. Only the water.

I also don't do a whole lot of sipping throughout the day - I drink the

glass down! I liken it to flushing a toilet - you wouldn't try to do that

by tossing in a teaspoonful of water, would you? So, at least 3 times a

day, I chug 18 oz. of water. The 24 oz. bottles go more in segments, but

still not really sipping. And I generally have two of those.

~~~~~Yeppers, that's a fact! And I never thought beer was much of a thirst

quencher, it just happens to taste really good after I've mowed the lawn in

the summer! (I still don't drink beer very often).

~~~~~~Yes - I know a few folks like that. I guess if that's how they want

to approach their health, it's okay, but I'm AWFUL glad they aren't planning

MY day!!

Sadly, I've known many people who might've made similar statements, and not

been joking. Seems a strange way to use your life experience, to me.

~~~~~I think the whole body can heal itself, if that effort/intention is

thoughtfully supported. Barring, of course, losing a limb. Seems we would

need to be tutored by the sea stars for a while to learn how to accomplish

that one!
