scrapbookbuzz Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Happy Friday and Welcome to the Lounge!!! Okay, so I really tried to come up with a better, more fun name for today's Lounge. Really. But this title would.not.leave.me.alone. So here we are. Maybe it partially stems from another thread on the chat board, but I think mostly it comes from the fact that my dog woke me up so she could go outside to do her thing this morning. Might not sound like a biggy but usually this dog waits for me to get up before she does. Today she couldn't wait. But better she woke me up than to have an accident in the house! :001_cool: Anyway . . . Who here drinks so much water the bathroom calls often? Here: if I drink lots of water (which is hard for me to do), then yes. Or coffee, or tea, or .. . Anyone work at a job that just by the nature of the job makes you drink more water than usual? Here: yes, when I work at my security guard job at the NFL games. More often than not, I'm outside, and it gets HOT here. Thankfully, the company I work for supplies us with plenty of bottled water! So, the first bottle of water gets downed, and usually absorbed by the body for hydration. After about 2 1/2 to 3 bottles of water, nature calls! :cool: Still on topic of water but in a different direction: will anyone be participating in any water sports or activities thsi weekend? Here: me, probably not. DD, definitely not, unless she ventures into our pool. DH and ds are going camping. They talked about fishing but I think they nixed the idea. (FYI: I do plan on opening the Lounge on Monday, Memorial Day) Talk to me! :bigear: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastica Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Happy Friday to you. I drink a ton of water, but have a really strong bladder. I'm not sure how after 4 babies! I can hold it a really long time. In fact, the first day of co-op was so busy that when I got home at 2:00 p.m. I realized that the last time I had gone was before my shower at 6:00 a.m. and I drink water and tea all morning because I'm teaching. The only time my job has required high water consumption was when I was nursing! ;) All my jobs post-college/pre-kids were desk jobs. No water sports for us. Still a little chilly and we have house projects to work on all weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Good morning! I'm a total wash out on the water topic (pun intended) as no water sports in my near future and I never drink enough water. Today's plan includes doing too much laundry (is that a water sport?) and getting the kids moving on vacuuming and floor sweeping going into the weekend. The dogs are shedding fiercely so something needs to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Scholastica, I think your bladder may be made of whatever white water rafts are made of - you're TOUGH. :D AK_Mom, you're punny! :p Hmm, laundry as a water sport . . . :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Our poor dog today was trying to tell us she needed to go out, again, and we thought she just wanted a puzzle! Eventually, she'll get us thick-skulled humans trained! She really did need to go out - looks like she ate something that didn't agree with her over the past day or so. It's just been her regular old dog food over the past week and a half. So I cooked up some rice for her just now. She wouldn't even eat that! I now know something is bothering her tummy. But she has been drinking plenty of water. Thus, she fits within the theme of the Lounge today. :D Poor girl. I just let her rest and see how she does the rest of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I don't drink a ton of water but always feel like I need to per constantly. Not so bad when we are home but Stu is when we are out. We are camping now and walking to the bathrooms at 3am sucks. We usually keep a portable potty in our tent but we have an extra kid so no room. We will be swimming, rafting, and going down a rock water slide. We are at Davidson River North Carolina. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I don't drink a lot of water when working, even though I try to keep water by my desk. The exception is when I'm driving, which I have to do on most Wednesdays to get to court 1.5-2.5 hours from my office. Tomorrow we are driving to visit family about 12 hours away. I will probaby drink plenty of water. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I do drink lots of water. I never did growing up, but then had a roommate in college who did and I got used to it. Now I feel sick or get a headache if I don't drink enough. We take water bottles everywhere in the warm months. Water sports - not me, but kids will be in the pool sometime this weekend for sure. The water will be freezing! Does car washing count? The old-fashioned kind, with a hose and bucket in the front yard. Or watering flowers/garden? Or playing in the creek? That is Ds' favorite - water and frogs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Splashing in the creek definitely counts! I miss those days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Too cold for water sports here. And the thing that keeps me running to the bathroom is coffee and the sheer volume of it I consume. This is caused by my job - homeschooling, 4H insane volunteer, rocket team mentor, food planner for three ravenous Jurassic era reptiles whom I have been told are my son's but the way they descended on the French toast today really did not look very human! Even the dog was scared! :D 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 FaithManor, read that description to my own teen and almost-teen and they both got a kick out of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Drink a lot: Yes. And I have a tiny bladder. Job: I don't work. I just always like to have water next to me. Water activities: Not me. Fritz was supposed to have a swim meet and I'd've timed at it, but he's had the flu this week and isn't well enough for the meet. Cameron has an end of seminary (religion class he goes to at 6am every day) pool party tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
