The annoying part of the Virus. I have to remind many places (including hospital!) that if you ask for water it is free! (Most of the USA.) I bring my own container and everything! I get growled at!
1) Why do We “pay” each year for land and property that We already own, in the form of taxes?
2) Or if you hold a mortgage on a house or buying a car, boat, or plane on time, that YOU have to pay the taxes on items that technically, you don’t even legally OWN yet. and not the lenders, the REAL owners?
3) How come if the You owe the Government money they charge You interest? But if the Government owes YOU money, it’s paid interest free?
About once a year I get a dozen bottles of FIJI water. After they’re empty, I keep them filled from the tap and in the fridge door. Nice, cold water anytime. But then, our tap water is pretty good…
I still believe that a little elderly couple in Schenectady NY sit in a bathtub and fill those plastic bottles with tap water and supply the big companies that sell it as pure spring water! ;o}
I remember when bottled water came out – I said “What? Who’s going to pay for a bottle of WATER?? That won’t ever catch on.” HeeHee I said the same thing about CDs replacing record albums.
At the end of May I buy several cases of bottle water for hurricane season as part of my emergency kit. When hurricane season ends in December, I start drinking the bottled water. Repeat the process May the next year.

The water is free.
The purchase price is for the futuristic container they call “bottle” made out of this transparent space-age stuff they call “plastic”.

Just like the people who complain about gas prices then go and blow $8.00 or so on 6 ounces of coffee.

Only time we buy bottled water is when we are on a road trip, and then we try to find a McDonald’s to get Ice Tea.
