Thread: Muddy water, muddy water, muddy water

This is pissing me off.
70 days left

My advice is to get used to it. It comes and goes with no apparent connection to weather or anything. I remember the time I was taking a shower and had soaped myself up and had shampoo in my hair. All of a sudden, the water cut out. I had to go to ICM lab or something mandatory like that. I spent like a half an hour trying to figure out how to get the soap off me. Finally the water came back on and I got hit with water that was pure mud. Apparently a pipe had gotten clogged and they had to clean it out,and they blasted the lines clean. I think I got out dirtier than I went in. Man, I miss the island.

I've been drinking the water clear or brown (and eating at the shacks) everyday, no problems ya'll

Keep your fingers crossed about the no problems.....after having "Diarrhea Day" yesterday (8 hours about GI problems...mostly diarrhea), I'm surprised we don't get it more often than we do down here

While we are enjoying this tropical paradise, the world economy is collapsing.
Do Doctors get paid chickens if the economy goes into a recession?

Are we talking real chickens or the "chickens" they sell on the island?

I did the same thing last semester... I would always use tap water to mix with my protein shake after I worked out, I'd eat the shacks all day, etc...

then during mini 2 all hell broke loose in my GI tract and with that came 3 trips to the bathroom and lots of awkward noises of the my stomach during a pretty difficult mini. My new rule of thumb is to make my own food and only drink bottled water for the 2 days prior to the mini. Also, you might want to wash your plates off when you take them out of the cupboard... you never know what kind of drama was going on in there the night before.

Mini->stress->depressed immune system->?

i have a head cold; i forgot what it's like to have the cortisol revved up and ready to dessimate one's defenses, so i feel for you closter
man i once remember that when the water went out (as it does after a tropical mini-monsoon at aviesville) i went out with the conditioner still in my hair, took a cab to james store, bought a couple of those 1 litres and finished taking my bath. not the best of times but you know how living on the island you read the posts about how you'll miss it? I MISS IT. boo.
