bottle water tastes gross anyways, you can taste the plastic! We have a well... but the well is so deep in bedrock we have arsenic so we have a reverse osmosis filter, so basically my water is a pure as it gets, and its delicious!

Drinking water was difficult for me when I was super addicted to Pepsi. I just couldn't drink it. :0/
I now drink coffee, water, and tea. The occasional sugar filled Starbucks or wine and that's it. Soda is just really awful stuff, as delicious as it is, it's a toxic dose of sugar in every serving. I used to rationalize my Pepsi drinking in every way possible but once I swore it off, that was that.

I love our RO water. It's got an extra filter thing that puts trace minerals back into the water so it doesn't taste weird. Good stuff.

Ours doesn't put anything back in... makes it a pain in the butt to keep fish... the PH specifically goes crazy since it takes out the stabilizing buffers. Hardest part is getting water for tortoise baths warm!
My friend used to make fun of me because people with normal water amused me... they can drink from the hose you know! ... well I mean so can I the arsenic is trace and fluctuates between safe and slightly not safe, sometimes I'm too lazy to go to the kitchen and fill up water that I just use the bathroom sink of arsenic water. My parents drank and cooked with it for 2 years before finding out and are fine, plus I shower in it, a bottle now and then wont kill me :rolleyes:

I wish I could give up soda, I'm just not determined enough for that. At least my soda stream is slightly better.

It's almost light out. Rain finally stopped, still chilly but I like sweaters and blankets. Ignore the windshield blue top

Depends on the water bottle's brand. I've found that some to taste a little like plastic, one I drank a a bottle that tastes like actual plastic. My favorite bottled water brand is Dolomia, tastes perfect in my opinion.

The nastiest bottled water brands I've tasted are dasani, nestle, and aquafina. Aquafina being the worst of those 3.

Shouldn't just locked it and let us read. Hahaha
I remember reading one forum member had saved it all. Who was that guy who started the thread? It might have been him.... Not quite sure.

I've tried it before and nothing was wrong with it... Tasted quite average. Maybe it's a problem with the factory that's producing them.

Sounds like you get to stay home for a little longer then the last time. :) :) How are the eggs looking?
Yes. Little more then a month this time. I checked those egg this morning. I think they may not fertilized. Let them seat in the incubator for couple more weeks and then check again. We are happy with any outcome.

Thanks Jacqui...
