It’s a busy day, lets get down to business:
- I didn’t pick up my tri packet yesterday and NO PACKET PICK UP ON RACE DAY means NO PACKET PICK UP ON RACE DAY.
- However, I ran a very comfortable 6.27 miles this morning. My plan was for 5 but it felt good to run in the cooler temps so I kept going.
- Yesterday my friend, Zoe, came over and we played with my water. Of course, it foamed like a rabid dog, but for the first time it had some awful stinky “melting barbie” vapors coming off of it. It’s been stinking up the place for a while now, but this is the first time I could actually see the vapors. Nice.
- Today, I tried to light it on fire. No fire, but plastic. My water turned into plastic. I guess this explains stinky “melting barbie” vapors. See for yourselves. I can’t wait to see what the tests say about this batch. And yes, I know, I should have used a stick – I was just caught in the moment and wanted to feel the plastic.

Hey Susan, I need some “baggies.” Could you whip some up for me? All joking aside, what a nightmare! If the drillers, or the person you purchased the land from had any character or integrity, they would whatever it takes to correct the problem.
I love Target, I wanna go,
I’m real sorry about your “No race day Packet P/U” We can do a tri this week if you want.
P.S.
I wish you would stop watering your yard with that stuff. Can you switch to city water?
I posted on Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/9/6/899634/-When-your-water-makes-plastic,-its-been-fracked
I sent to the EPA.
I tweeted.
I Facebooked.
I’m not done yet.
I sick of this bullshit!
How many other people out there have foamy well water and are watering their lawns with it without a second thought? Or filling their swimming pools? Or filling their stock tanks and watering their goats, horses and cattle with it?
At least you can use the blow torch to roast marshmallows once you’re done making Barbies. You need to sell up and move Susan!
I’m with Peggy – why isn’t everyone’s lawns turning brown yet and livestock keeling over yet? Sounds like it’s just a matter of time. Where’s that class-action lawsuit?!
There have been some significant health problems with animals in our area. People, too. But how do you prove a connection, for example, between a brain tumor and a swimming pool?
As far as the soil goes, that takes time. The earth does a lot to heal itself, but once you change the salinity enough, it becomes a moonscape.
I, for one, spent my Labor Day shampooing my rugs. Susan really should quit playing with plastic.
I’m happy to give anybody a tour of our bubbly culverts.
This is not an isolated situation, it’s just the isolated instance where someone had the gun-ho to be proactive and check the water.
Our bubbly culverts are spreading. It was isolated and now is in front of 4 different lots.
now that a san fran neighbourhood blew up, are people listening or are you taking to wearing flame retardant jammies 24/7?
