Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hi Caron! I understand your concern over broken glass. Have you considered stainless steel? Check out this website http://www.healthegoods.com/ . They offer a line of stainless steel water bottles for adults and children, called Klean Kanteen.

The house is set up on stilts, approx 6ft off the ground. >Oh, that was awful, I know, I know ... s'ok, I'll forgive you this time ;oP >Cup: Try a ceramic cup, demitasse size. Won't that smash too? I have a pretty hideous scar on my pinky where a ceramic door handle snapped and bit me... My brother made a bowl a while back (10+ years) from bamboo - a stalk of bamboo about 4in across, cut it off at the end of a segment, sanded and laquered it. Would that work, or would it poison him with any pesticides from the ground? I'm assuming it'd be better without the laquer? >Also, if you have a garden (indoors or out), check to see whether you have aphids -- undersides of the leaves. Ants LOVE aphids!!! I have grass, and fruit trees - the lychee tree is infested with green ants. Our neighbour has roses and other flowers in her garden, but has an unpleasant liking for poisons.
