Consider that a lot of this goofy posting is from a largely, if
not
totally, anonymous poster using a particularly old version of
Debian
Linux and associated news client.....

Google up the rec.boats proponents of Debian Linux and you will
have
most of the usual suspects.....

He seems fairly straight forward to me - I'm not sure where
you developed this idea about goofy posting.

Besides, as somebody who suffers from skin infections of
one sort or another, it seemed like a perfectly valid question
and one that deserved a appropriate answer.

I'm not sure.... some of his prior questions have had such obvious
answers.... it just looked suspect. Some of those questions I
offered
my advice. This latest one just seemed extremely obvious and, well,
odd..... and then I noticed that he was using the same posting
schema
as the old anon-posting smithers.... made me even more
suspicious....

In a cooking newsgroup, about six months ago:

"Can I make lasagna at home? How?"

Somewhere, these people are being stamped out like cookies.- Hide

Again, it's entirely possible that somebody doesn't know.

The OP got upset when numerous people said "Go buy a box of lasagna
noodles.
There's a recipe on every box, always, no exceptions".

I never thought I'd be like my parents, and saying "Young man, when I was
your age {fill in boring historical stuff here}...", but my roommate and
I
went and bought a cookbook. We learned to cook. We didn't die.- Hide

I am the OP of this thread. I have never posted a question on lasagna
in cooking newsgroup (I haven't done any "real" cooking for the last 5
years). I think you may have mistaken me with someone else.
Moreover, this is far easier to buy a whole tray of ready-made lasagna
from BJ instead of preparing it myself.

Having said that, if you have found someone pretending to be me
posting questions in cooking newsgroup. Please let me know the
newsgroup name. I need to know this. Thanks.

No! I was talking about a DIFFERENT person in another newsgroup. Not you.

I would like to know if there is a simple device for washing
hand
with
fresh water.

My boat is a 18-ft center console that is too small for adding
a
sink
and faucet in it; moreover, a sink and faucet is overkill for
my
need. I will wash my hand in sal****er, and then use
freshwater
as
the last step to wash away the sal****er from my hand.
Therefore,
I
only need a small amount of fresh water. I have a feeling that
one-
gallon of freshwater should be more than enough for several
persons
use in a fishing trip. I would like to know a neat way to
accomplish
this.

What I am looking for is something works like a garden
hand-pump
spray
bottle. Then I can put the water tank under the floor, run a
short
lengh of water hose to the back of the boat and connecting to a
small
water faucet, somehow having a small hand pump next to the
faucet.
When I need to use it, all I need to do is pump it several
times,
turn
on the faucet to let out a stream of water spray to wash the
sal****er
away from my hand (or wash the eyeglasses), let the water to
run
down
to the floor and get air dried or drained to the scuppers.
When I
am
done, I simply turn off the faucet. The next guy who wants to
use
it
probably doesn't need to pump because there should still be
enough
water pressure in the system.

Is there such a thing available in the market?

Currently, I use a one-gal water bottle and pour over my hands.
But
this is not neat and is not elegant. Moreover, this tends to
use
more
water than I really need.

I have thought of using a store-bought large spring water tank
that
has a small faucet at the bottom and use gravity to dispense
the
water. But this requires me to put the water tank a couple
feet
above
the floor. I would like to put the water tank under the floor
to
lower the center of gravity as much as possible (afterall it is
a
small boat).

Thanks for any pointer in advance.

Why is it a joke? I always carry a water bottle for washing the
salt
from my hands after I have washed my hand in sea water. This
minimizes the irritation on my skin and helps keeping the skin
problem
down. Of course, I also use hand cream; this is a given. I guess
not
everyone has this skin problem; therefore, most people probably
don't
understand how this feels. Let's just say that this problem is
physical, not mental.

That water bottle works. But it is a bit too ad-hoc and tends to
use
more water than needed. That's the reason why I want to find
something more convenient.

I can understand his concern - I have a similar problem on
board but related to infection as a result of my arthritis
treatment. I'm more prone to infection as a result of that
treatment and fresh water is much better to rinse with than
salt - in particular in a harbor that has a sewer treatment
near it. Or the CT River after rain which is full of...well
this is a family group.

What I do is carry a gallon of fresh water and use a hand
sprayer - hence my advice to jay. Stick the gallon under
the console and use it if I need to.- Hide quoted text -

Sorry to hear that you have a similar problem. I started having that
problem when I got out from the college and started cooking and
cleaning dishes for myself. The detergent seems to have something to
do with the problem.

Have your pharmacy order you a bottle of U-Lactin. CVS can get it. $10
for
16 oz. My doctor and the pharmacist were at a loss to explain why it's
not
stocked along with all the other skin creams. It's great stuff.

That lotion seems like something that I should try, and I will pass by
CVS after work anyway. Worst comes to worst, I still have a bottle of
lotion that I can use, and I use a lot of lotion everyday. Thanks for
the suggestion.

Currently, I am using high strength prescription cream whenever the
skin problem raises its ugly head. Hopefully, frequent use of hand
cream can keep the problem to the minimum.

Thanks for the update on the lotion. You are right to point out that
the lotion doesn't contan steroid. I used to come across a mail order
lotion that worked like magic on my skin problem. And then later on
FDA banded it because its secret ingredient was steroid, and could
cause side effect after prolong use. Therefore, I am glad that the
lotion that you have suggested doesn't contain steroid.

Even over the counter stuff contains steroids, like hydrocortisone.

My hands take abuse pretty well. When they were calloused I often

My sister's problem did in fact manifest itself from washing dishes.
She tried different dish detergents to no avail. She now uses an

Anyway, I have found several hand-powered marine water pump fixtures
in one of the marine supply store. Somehow, they are not as
inexpensive as what I thought. In fact, they cost more or less the
same as a simple electric water pump fixture. I guess I may have to
go for the simple electric water pump instead of the hand powered
version that I originally looked for. Oh well; but at least I have a
choice :)
Well, if I wanted to do what you first asked about, I would take the
electric pump approach I first suggested. You can have a container
holding quite a few gallons of fresh water tucked out of the way, with
only a nozzle and switch to tangle your fishing line on. Of course
you've got to run the wires and rubber tubing out of the way.
Personally I would just use squeeze bottles, or a cooler jug with a
turn spigot to meter the water handlessly. With the spigot you can
rinse your hands normally, as you would do under a faucet. The jug
positioning/attachment would be the major issue.
But since I don't have your particular problem or boat it's hard to
judge what's best. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am leaning toward using the simplest
electric pump with a tiny faucet as what you have suggested.
Originally I thought of using a hand powered pump. But the available
models are not cheaper than the simplest electric pump and have more
"things" sticking out in comparison to the electric model.

Windshield washer reservoir and pump. Works off of 12 volts. Find the
size you want and afix it to your boat, install a switch and attach it
to the power buss.

Probably pick one up at a junk yard for almost nothing.

Hello Jay,
Check out my web site it might have the answer your looking for.

Did a 'foot pump' search on eBay and got item# 190080026837
(windshield washer pump). Sounds good to me. Put the jug where you
want, put the nozzle where you want, and stomp on the pump.
(Remembered the pump in a portajohn.)

Thanks for the great suggestion! That web site seems to have a lot of
low cost hand powered water pumps and faucets.

I have a feeling that they are selling their products for general
purpose use instead of for marine environment; this explains the
reason why they cost much less than what I find in marine supply
store. I guess this should be OK because I am supposed to use it to
pump freshwater from a freshwater tank, not sal****er, and I park my
boat in the driveway, not leaving it in the slip. Moreover, those
that I find in marine supply store are not stainless steel anyway
(chrome-plated may be brass or aluminum).
