Introducing the PEEPOOPLE – when you absolutely have no where else to go

Russell, you may recall, had a bit of an issue in trying to use his Wilderness Explorer skills in using a latrine:

“Definitely before.” Wiser words have seldom ever been spoken.

If only Russell had read Web Watch, he would have known about this product for his trip with Carl: It may seem amusing to some people, but the PEEPOOPLE serves an equally very specific and serious purpose.

Proper sanitation and facilities don’t always exist in third-world countries.  Water, whether clean or not, is often scarce and seldom used to facilitate waste management as is done in European-style bathrooms.  Women have even been attacked while on their way to use whatever restroom options are available.

Gilpin Family Whiskey – it’s whiskey, made from pee!

Whiskey Companion
The Whiskey Companion

“Whiskey,” to paraphrase Homer Simpson. “…is there nothing you can’t do?”

Apparently not, if you take James Gilpin as an example.

James Gilpin knows a bit of science behind the making and distilling of whiskey, and he knows that all he needs is some good sugar water to make the stuff.  So, being a type-1 diabetic, Gilpin turned to one resource that he had readily available to him.

Introducing GILPIN FAMILY WHISKEY. It’s WHISKEY MADE FROM PEE.  More specifically, the whiskey is made from the pee from diabetics, whose urine often contains high levels of sugar.

One family’s quest to go one year without Disney


Mousetrapped: a Year and a Bit in Orlando
Mousetrapped: A Year and a Bit in Orlando

Web Watch has to admire people like Lisa Ray.

Lisa has strong convictions and a big stick-to-it attitude that isn’t often seen elsewhere.  She really does mean what she says, and says what she means.  Good for her.

Lisa, the founder of PARENTS FOR ETHICAL MARKETING, was upset at how the Disney corporation handled a refund request for the Baby Einstein line of early-learning DVDs.  Her reaction to those events (already documented elsewhere) led her to comment to her family, “I wish we could boycott Disney. But I don’t think we can. They’re too big.”

This got her 12-year-old daughter thinking, and she suggested that maybe they could go a year without Disney.

Lisa liked this idea so much, she decided that was exactly what she and her family were going to do: go A YEAR WITHOUT DISNEY.

Buying a car off Craigslist? Here are some things to look out for

How to Buy a Car
How to Buy a Car

Buying a used car can be a scary experience, as can selling one.

A few years ago, Web Watch had reason to sell our 14-year-old truck, after 200,000 miles.  The vehicle still ran perfectly fine.  We kept up-to-date with oil changes and other maintenance, but it was starting to get some quirks that were becoming more annoying than not. 

The sunroof would leak on occasion.  The radio was flaky.  The dashboard illumination lights were starting to burn out.  And we think – but can’t prove – that there was an oil leak that would have been rather costly to repair.  The rear passenger door wouldn’t close unless you knew how to shut the door the right way.  There were a few other things, but the truck ran great and could get you where you were going.  Still, it was time to ditch the truck for something newer and sportier.

How to determine the shelf life of foods in your pantry, freezer, or refrigerator

Mountain House canned food - 25 year long shelf life
Mountain House canned food – 25 year long shelf life

One common food joke is that Hostess Twinkies can survive through almost anything, with an infinite shelf life.  Truth be told, the common Twinkie’s shelf life is a more realistic 25-days.  Seriously – who even keeps Twinkies in the house that long?

Every once in a while, you should take the time to clean out your pantry.  It’s not just a good idea from a re-organizational viewpoint, but also as a way to rotate the older foods you have stacked in the back of the cupboard towards the front so that they can be used in a more timely manner.

Yes, everything in your pantry has a shelf life – except for honey, which can pretty much be stored indefinitely.  Sometimes things will merely go stale, such as crackers or cereals.  Other pantry items will turn rancid and become inedible and should be tossed to prevent anyone from getting sick from eating it.
