Quote & Fact...

Quote:

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

"Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life."

~ Viktor E. Frankl


Facts: Potable Water

1.) Safe Drinking Water Act creates comprehensive federal regulation didn't occur until 1974. It was safer for children to drink soda than water. (Yes, it was still drank from the hose. Not like there wasn't a lot of dangerous stuff done before 1974.)


2.) Water intoxication is a thing. You don't want to drink too much because it dilutes the sodium levels in your blood and can cause symptoms like nausea, confusion, and in severe cases, seizures or death. (I always laughed at my mother when she said water made her drunk. Of course, she claimed it after 8 ounces of water.)
