What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Arsenic occurs naturally in the ground. We have places near me with very high levels. I think they mined in the civil war, if I remember correctly. There are probably more than one reason it wound up in your drinking water. Fracking the well may or may not be one of those reasons. The good thing is that you have basically public water that is monitored. Imagine having a private well and not doing frequent testing.

 

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, if it was never showing before then you'd think the fracking opened up water from other areas with high concentrations. Definitely something you want to keep an eye on.

Have a shallow well at my project house, but not hooked up or useable right now. I'll have to fill up a big bottle or 2 at mom's today. Those big blue ones for the lunchroom water machines. Should do for a while

 

I use to be pretty good with Excel. I forgot most of it at this point.

 

I hope, I hope.....

 

Don't those filter like even a Brita, or a Culligan tap filter, let alone an inline water filter remove arsenic?

 

Found this publication. It's cited at several credible looking sites.

Effectiveness of table top water pitcher filters to remove arsenic from drinking water - ScienceDirect

The filter referenced "Zero Water" looks very similar to Brita types. It can be bought as a fridge container with a tap off amazon for $25 it looks like. It showed the best results.

Edit: it's linked and posted here on a .gov site so it's a credible real study.Effectiveness of table top water pitcher filters to remove arsenic from drinking water. - PubMed - NCBI

 

That's kinda strange though...naturally occurring arsenic in the aquifers is not a common problem on this continent...some areas of the SW USA and a bit in Mexico, that's it. I wonder if this is a contamination issue?

 

Ok wildwest .. I was ms office certified a while ago.. Pm me what's going on.. I am significantly cheaper to FHC members in good standing

 

Possible. Does seem strange...

 

Well that's good to know. Hopefully it's just temporary contamination....

 

Growin’ Up we had arsenic in our water. Never hurt us.

wildwest what are you trying to do in Excel? I use it daily.

YouTube is always an excellent source for tutorials if you know what you are searching for.

 

Dang you lost me. I had no idea that was possible. Of course a lot is with Excel and access. I can barely use my Outlook email list thing and I don't really cause I couldn't figure it out when I started. I just remember the names and as I type it does frequent names. That or I look at business cards or in my phone under a contact.

 

So.... Is your end goal is a *csv file to import to Google calendar?

Or do you want to make Excel look like a calendar, with each month in a new sheet within the *xls file?

Pretty sure I can help. PM me so we don't bore the masses

 

Getting ready to go for a walk this morning. campinspecter went for two loads of wood yesterday to finish off the last of the three logs he was after. I think he is going to be a bit stiff this morning. Over cast with the possibility of showers today.
