letter to Wondertime Magazine:


I'm reading your article based on pre-school philosophies, and I'd like to point out a couple things - #1, the red shame panties? not a montessori tenet -that's your child's particular school. the reggio emilio peace place? that's actually a montessori thing. Just saying.

things to keep in mind - not all home water filters filter out fluoride; i consider that a good thing.

Tap Water and Water Filtration Systems - an overly hippie viewpoint, I think

Brita FAQ - Does BRITA reduce / remove fluoride ? The BRITA Water Filter System does not remove fluoride from tap water. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion and does not react with the components of the BRITA Filter Cartridge. - Well, that's pretty definitive.

Q. How do the units affect fluoride?
A. The PUR Self-Monitoring Water Filters do not signifigantly reduce the level of fluoride in the water source. - Pur. Well, that's less definitive.

I know a lot of people consider it a scary stalker song, but I really like "Every Breath You Take." I've liked it since I was little.

I was saying to clio214 and ladygwyn the other day that 2006 was a really big year for me, musically. It pretty much started with discovering She Wants Revenge, and going to NiN in February.
