Who Needs a Dog or a Baby?

I took a red eye flight last night from LA to NY. Personally, unless you are landing in a foreign country or are STARTING your trip, not ending it, I think one should avoid redeyes at all costs. It's just too depressing to show up at dawn and start a work day.

In spite of the woman who threw a hissy fit and had to be taken off the flight before we could take off (true story), I did, however, have quite a nice flight - partially due to the fact that people couldn't get enough of my water bottle. In a world where apparently you are supposed to have a toy dog or a baby in order to get picked up, I learned last night, that it's really the water bottle that does the trick.

Apparently, I am not the only one who has a mad love of my SIGG water bottle - nearly everyone who saw me sip out of it remarked on it and asked where they could get one. I was a one-woman marketing machine for SIGG.

It used to be practically a requirement for the eco-conscious urbanite to lug water everywhere in a colorful hard-plastic bottle. Studies now show these and other bottles can leach potentially toxic chemicals. Choose stainless steel or glass instead.

If you're a hiker and not interested in packing a heavy stainless steel or glass bottle with you on the trail, get a platypus watter bottle from REI or any good outdoor store. They are clear plastic and collapse as you drink so they take up less space. They also can be frozen or boiled and have a lifetime warranty. They are made by Cascade Designs, Inc. out of Seattle.

The best water bottles on the market for my money are the Nissan Stainless steel thermos sport water bottle. I have had mine for quite a few years. They are for cold water only and have a rubber casing on the outside of the bottle so if you leave it in the sun in the car they won't get hot and you won't burn your fingers. Unfortunately they have discontinued the sports style, which is so versatile.They fit on my bike,I can carry it in my purse etc. Maybe if alot of us wrote requesting these just maybe they would start manufacturing them again.

Does anybody know about the safety of homemade popsicle plastic molds, is there a danger of plastic leaching harmful chemicals into the frozen juice?

I have been searching for a company that sells glass water bottles and have found several but the all seem to have metal or plastic lids. How do I know which metal or plactic lid is safe to use. None of the manufacturers disclose the actual material of the lids. Does anyone know where I can get a glass water bottle with a safe lid??????????
