It's specifically for stuff like this. Business owners around the state are getting phone calls weekly by people not even from this country and asked questions like.. "How many bottles of water does your business have?" Pulling hard working business owners away from their daily routine for this kind of nonsense is ridiculous. I spoke to a woman a week ago on this who was near impossible to understand. When I asked if she was even a US citizen she said... "No." "So you aren't an American?" "Well.. half." *sigh* Half? Today I get another call from what sounded like another outsourced pest, pulling me again away from my work. So are tax payers paying for these wasteful and annoying phone calls too?

It makes me gag to shower in it!) However, I was raised in New York City and they have amazingly good water, and it comes out SO cold. Heck even New Yorkers claim that they cannot duplicate the pizza and bagels you get there... because of the water! So, that's good to hear. We have really great well water in SC too, I use a filter pitcher in the fridge, but straight tap for everything else.

But at the bottom of the article, there is a Google Ad for Fiji bottled water delivery service for $29.95, claiming "Affordable luxury. Convenient water delivery." (They do offer FREE shipping to really drive the bargain home). Either you have an even better sense of humor than I originally thought, or your Google Ads are seriously undermining your posts and your purpose. I got this article in my inbox today- great news!
