How to react to bad diver etiquette (coral poaching/destruction etc)

Re the mouthpiece quote-- Was wondering after I wrote that if it would garner any innuendo comments! Really a bit of a stretch though. We have mouthpieces on our second stages. Athletes wear tooth guard mouthpieces. But I guess it can be whatever one wants it to be. All in fun.

Yes, but we don't lick and suck on our mouthpiece before we put it in our mouth. Well, at least I don't.

Neither do I when I play clarinet. But I do do other stuff that may gross people out.....

you don't wet your reed? how do you do that?

That's an easy one. Goes into my mouth separately before onto the mouthpiece. That's also when I take the warps out of it.

Are your children reading this?

That's an easy one. Go

Exactly, wet it first, then attach it to the mouthpiece. Been playing mine for almost 60 years now.

johnhall-- What is the down side to a long shower? Too much soap?, water shortage?

Sorry, didn't see this - you don't want to get too clean!! Yes, conserve water!! More important if you're in an area suffering from a drought.

I was wondering. Of course there is no concern up here about conserving water. But curious, how does conserving water actually help the environment? I was thinking longer showers may (or may not) mean using more soap, which may be harmful (though I think soap today is made a little more environment freindly than years ago---don't quote me, that's just what I think someone once told me).
I try to take as brief showers as possible. But since we moved 2+ years ago, this is the first place since I moved to Canada (1977) that I had to pay for water (I lived in apts., had a well, and in a town where the mining co. provided free water to all residents). So my brief showers are to save money now.

No, but they have to live with me.

They could opt for the hobo life............ridin' the rails, playing the banjo, livin' off the land, etc.
