Oh I don't look in chit chat for news as serious as this... sorry!

8/18/2006 6:02:27 PM

^ Yeah, that's why I like your thread better. I'm sure glad I'm not at home in Cary right now. Boiling all my water sounds like a pain in the ass.

8/18/2006 6:07:28 PM

its cary...they don't drink tap water. they buy bottled water

8/18/2006 6:09:14 PM

I just won't be washing dishes until they tell me all clear bc that really seems like the pain...

^I don't drink tap water either but I thought that displayed the urgency... I'll be using bottled water to brush my teeth though...

8/18/2006 6:09:54 PM

8/18/2006 6:10:56 PM

You can shower. Just don't gargle while you're in there.

[Edited on August 18, 2006 at 6:11 PM. Reason : ehhh slow]

8/18/2006 6:11:17 PM

what fun is a shower if you can't do that?

8/18/2006 6:13:55 PM

I drank the tap water nonstop when I lived in Cary. Thankfully I don't live there anymore.

8/18/2006 6:15:23 PM

Ecolicious

8/18/2006 6:26:37 PM

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN...IN CARY?!

Here's to that. Fuck boiling.

8/18/2006 7:15:26 PM

Unsafe quantities...which means there are usually safe quantities of e. coli in the water to begin with.

8/18/2006 7:57:36 PM

we need a DMB embed

hahaha

8/18/2006 9:17:00 PM

The evil empire of Cary is starting to fall.

8/18/2006 9:35:42 PM

why the hell is Cary evil?

Believe me, when you don't feel like living in shitholes inside the beltline anymore, Cary and N. Raleigh will start to look really nice.

8/18/2006 9:41:45 PM

Arg, I can't sell any soda tonight

Selling a shitload of bottled water and Snapple and beer, though.

8/18/2006 9:49:42 PM

it was a joke, Me and my friends like to refer to Cary as an Evil Empire, as a joke

8/18/2006 9:53:45 PM

I have to go to Raleigh to get something to eat now

8/18/2006 9:55:46 PM

Argh evil empire, whine there's no filthy apartment complexes jettisoning out from our front yard .

8/18/2006 10:10:49 PM

just boiled some up.

8/18/2006 10:11:38 PM

You know what's fun? Disposing of 90 cubic feet of ice.

8/18/2006 10:56:20 PM

i cleaned and refilled my cats water bowl tonight, then left town

hope they dont die, cuz I'm not gonna give cats bottled water

[Edited on August 18, 2006 at 10:59 PM. Reason : x]

8/18/2006 10:59:17 PM

i've been giving my bunnies bottled water. they love it!

8/19/2006 1:15:35 AM

So, this shit's going to last through the weekend, I heard.

8/19/2006 2:27:42 AM

Serves cary right.

8/19/2006 3:00:36 AM

^ What did Cary do to you? Throw honey bees on you?

yes.

My sister's birhday dinner was gonna be at macaroni grille today.

8/19/2006 10:14:35 AM

I'm really glad I didn't wake up vomiting today.

^ There's at least one or two other Macaroni Grills in Raleigh.

8/19/2006 10:34:27 AM

Yup. They know.

8/19/2006 10:48:35 AM

that blows

8/19/2006 12:00:02 PM

I don't understand this-- I went to Abbey Road last night, and they were definitely not closed-- was it just certain restaurants in Cary that were closed or something?

8/19/2006 12:09:57 PM

^ west side of cary ok .. i work at woodys all we can serve is beer and bottle water

8/19/2006 12:21:23 PM

^Well, AR isn't in the "ok" part and I had tea with ice in it... maybe they made the ice out of bottled water

I really don't care about this water thing, honestly, I just think it's weird that they were open.

I doubt anyone will get sick from this.

8/19/2006 12:28:58 PM

Damn, and I filled my nalgene bottle this morning and have been drinking it all day.

8/19/2006 12:45:28 PM

So are all the resturants at crossroads closed?

"Officials issued the alert after routine testing detected the dangerous bacteria at a residence in the Coronado Village subdivision in central Cary."

"Tests from nearly 40 other sampling points taken this week throughout Cary were normal, said officials."

I'm not a scientist. How probable is it for a single home in a sample of 40 would test positive for this? Next question: How many samples have taken in the past without any issues? Seems weird it is just the one home.

8/19/2006 12:54:11 PM

so the resturants are closed? or not closed?

8/19/2006 1:00:49 PM

http://www.townofcary.org/news/news2006/boilwaternotice1.htm

Basically, at 7:00 p.m. they decided that all restaurants were to be closed. I don't think every restaurant would know about it in time to close, but I don't know if they contacted people or what. At around midnight they lifted the notice from a large portion of Cary, but it is still in effect for the most part.

For what it's worth, I had some soda from Cary before I heard the announcement, and I'm fine.

im ... not feeling too good...

8/19/2006 2:07:08 PM

It's like you would actually go to the resturaunts and order a tap water based product on purpose.

Yah, they contacted a few of the resturaunt owners I know, some they didn't even bother with.

8/19/2006 2:08:47 PM

^Not sure if I understand your sentence but the main reason for closing the resturants is because they cannot wash dishes and people (read: cooks & employees) cannot wash their hands with the tap water....

If it were just a *drinking* tap water issue I'm sure most places would still be open.

and what do you think they made the tea from genius?

8/19/2006 5:32:29 PM

The Papa John's by my apt wasn't closed last night when I went to blockbuster nor the sub place.

8/19/2006 5:38:39 PM

Hey, Krista, employees use tap water to clean themselves. Good point!
