Howdy, neighbors! It's time to scroll on down and see what I came up with for
TODAY'S QUESTIONS
A couple of hours ago, my city notified residents via phone call that we are under a "boil water advisory" because of a large broken water main. For at least the next 48 hours, we must boil for at least 5 minutes all water which will be used for cooking or drinking. I'm fortunate because at least I have fairly normal water pressure. A large area of the city is completely without water or is getting just a trickle.
Has your home ever been without water service for any period of time?
If you've been without water service, what was the cause of the disruption?
Have you ever been under a boil water advisory?
Have you ever had a broken water pipe inside your home?
If your home has a basement, has water ever leaked in or accumulated on the floor by any means?
Has the area where you live ever had water rationing or restrictions because of a drought?
BONUS QUESTIONS
Do you like to swim?
Can you swim underwater?
Have you ever snorkeled?
Have you ever SCUBA dived?
Have you ever swum nekkid?
Does your home/property have a swimming pool?
When you were a kid, was there a community pool near your home?
That's all I've got, kiddos. It's time for me to get ready for bed and brush my teeth with bottled water. Have a marvelous Tuesday, and don't forget to commit an act of kindness.

PJSaturn, the question about swimming nekkid reminds me of a good one I heard a long time ago.
"Naked" means you don't have any clothes on.
"Nekkid" means you don't have any clothes on and you're up to something.
