to be exactly correct regarding poker sport betting and a&a I am NOT saying they are no different what I’m saying is they are similar from the standpoint that both have an element of luck with you cannot control.
H20, IL demands it!!

Evian spelled backwards is Naive. Think about that for a minute.
Uh…you have enough time on your hands to point out witty coincidences?.
No. It was pointed out to me once. My point is, why would you by bottled water at such a high price, when you can buy filtered water or even filter your own water for pennys a gallon.

or you can buy filtered water from your local village for pennies on 10,000 gallons.

I’d heard it before as well…was just teasing. :wink:

Now my monthly water bill is around $30…so…
What’s interesting about that is that the city has been trying to condemn the water company so that we can buy it instead of it being bought out by foreign investors. What are your thoughts on that?

Village of Hoffman Estates, IL
Current Meter Reading (in 1000’s of gallons) 1882
Previous Meter Reading (in 1000’s of gallons) 1878
Usage (in 1000’s of gallons) 4Current Charges:
Line Fee: $4.75
Water Service: $13.60
Sewer Service: #3.32Total: $21.67
$21.67/4000 gallons is: $0.0054175/gallon
Versus:
(128 Ounces (US) = 1 Gallon (US))
Now here in my town bottled water is going for roughly $0.06/ounce (actually you can find it from $0.04 to $0.08 per ounce) so the pice per gallon is 128 * 0.06 which is: $7.68/gallon. or roughly 141,763% the cost of village water!
And that’s not including the time it takes to go to the store and buy it, taxes on the sale of the water at the store (but taxes of the sale to your house), gas used to get to and from the store and wear and tear on your car getting to and from the store!!!

BTW the best tasting tap water is from reno area… i am not sure why its so ( i guess Tahoe ice runs into the aqueduct?)
It tastes sweet.
-
Colorado has some pretty good tap water as well.
-
I actually heard that Lake Michigan water was the best tasting water in the world….but as I said, I just HEARD it. It is pretty good tasting water, and you know what? Hard water’s actually better for you then soft water! Good source of Calcium!!
-
Yeah but it’s gross.
-
Nah…
Gross is water laden with Sulfur and Iron, like I had growing up in south central PA mountains. If you can’t SEE the water, and you can’t SMELL the water, is it REALLY water?
BTW: Jen…
Did not know you were from Hoffman Estates. I’ll try not to hold it against you :-P
(I have had a few problems with a resident of HE… went so far as to swear out arrest warrants for them in NC several years ago) -
Yup, been stuck here for a while. Housing costs are too high to move out and the appreciation on my property is insane.
