Blah.
Blah.

It goes away after a while

I would think that her body was also able to 'put it to work' faster since it didnt have to filter the sugar etc out of it, thus triggering the thirst system. Along the same lines as eating real food...you get hungry again after a few hours since it processes faster in your body.

). But I think that's usually due to calcium deposits in the pipes. Probably more attributable to your old building than the city. Even so, you would know better than me. I've only visited NYC (manny isle) never lived there.
