"Water that had been distilled, polluted or passed through consumption (my ital.) had lost its inner order. This leads to the realization that natural healthy water carries an 'inner order' defining its nature and properties."

I bought a gallon of distilled water about a year ago. It has an expiration date of Nov 2005. It only costs $1 for a new gallon. Should I worry about the water expiration date, or is that just some crazy warning label stuff that lawyers made them do?

In all seriousness, I hate being serious. The label is there b/c they think that by Nov 2005 there could be "bugs" growing in the water. The small amount of plastic that does leach from the container, or finds its way into the bottle from being opened is enough to feed them, believe it or not. Take a clean, clear glass -- shake up the bottle, pour into the glass and look for floaters; ie, white particulate matter, not to be confused with the bubbles. If you have floaters, you have water with either bacteria or fungus growing in it and need to get a new bottle. Now, I'm gonna skeedaddle out of here b4 anon-y-mouse saunters into this thread and finds out I've been picking on Dave and Sean! CIAO

If you have floaters I recommend decreasing dietary fiber.

Uses:

Humidor seasoning.

Humidification device recharging.

Refreshment for the truly paranoid.

Charging of commercial products that serve it’s same purpose.
.....

So in conclusion, distilled is the magical elixir of cigar storage. Buy it fresh, buy it old, just buy it.

So, you'd give this, what?, [Score: 99]?

Have you all lost you minds. There are many young (but still of smoking age in their respective localities) members here that may be unaware of the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide yet you talk about it with such a cavalier attitude it boggles the mind!

Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

• Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
• Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
• Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
• DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
• Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
• Contributes to soil erosion.
• Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
• Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
• Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
• Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
• Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
• Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

If you feel you may have accidentally subjected yourself to an overdose look for these symptoms:

• Excessive sweating
• Excessive urination
• Bloated feeling
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Hyponatremia (serum hypotonicity)
• Dangerously imbalanced levels of ECF and ICF in the blood
• Degeneration of sodium homeostasis

Miller, Miller, Miller. You are needlessly frightening the children (newbies). You should be ashamed of yourself. Such unfounded "perils".

And those symptoms. All I can say is HA! You get these same symptoms from an overdose of Whiskey, but I don't see you trying to scandalize Jack Daniels (or Woodford Reserve, or Makers Mark).

What did DHMO do to you as a child to give you this complex?

I think we need to get a Mod to close this thread before these un-tasting comments seep into the fabric of the general CS community.

Well thought out post.

Screw being 21 to buy alcohol, you should have to be 21 to buy distilled water.

Refreshment for the truley paranoid I am one of those people. Something about the tap always turned me off. Of course I do wrap aluminum foil around my head to keep the aliens from stealing my thoughts...so you might have a point.

Dave; How many bottles does this make for you this month? I fear you have an addiction problem. At least you admit to being a user, which is one of the first steps to beating the addiction, and getting your life back under control.
