Hi Daryl!

 BM>Likewise for me.  I have had calcium oxylate kidney stones sporadically
 BM>form since I was since I was about 25, so over four decades.  I will be
 BM>fine (clear) for two, three, five years and then one forms, might stay
 BM>the same size for year or two, and then grow again.  No change in diet,
 BM>so same amount of coffee, tea, chocolate, and all the other no-no's on
 BM>the list.  I do try to do all in moderation, though do do those
 BM>occasional splurges.
 DS>   I went 4 1/2 years between stones...and didn't start having
 DS> them until I was 50.

I'm not sure who's the winner here! <bseg>



 BM>And I definitely not saying to disregard the advice of your personal
 BM>physician/s.  It's possible a strict diet would keep me from forming
 BM>stones.
 DS>   I'm increasing my fluid intake...of course, you know what that
 DS> means for me several times a day. <G>

Umm, refilling the five gallon jug you're drinking from?!  I do have a 
concern for drinking too much water -- just like everything too much is
bad as is too little.

  Water intoxication - when you drink too much water

  Therefore, in order to avoid hyponatremia symptoms, you should not
  drink more than 27-33 ounces (0.8-1.0 liters) of water per hour, on
  average (14). Many reported cases of water intoxication result from
  drinking large amounts of water in a short period of time.

And:

  How do I know if I drank too much water?
  
  One sign of overhydration or water intoxication is a feeling of
  confusion or disorientation. This is linked to falling levels of
  electrolytes such as sodium in the body. If water intake continues to
  be excessive, symptoms can progress from mild confusion to delirium
  and seizures.

I don't think you're at a danger level but might be getting close; just
copied in the above as things to be aware of.  ...And you haven't 
mentioned it but water is in other items besides water: popsicles, 
fruits (watermelon!), etc.
