The Bottled Water Conspiracy

Image result for garden hose

The next time you walk into a store, any store, take a look at the prices of all of these various brands of bottled waters. They are more expensive than the iced teas, sodas, gatorades and any other drinks on the market. What do they make these drinks out of? Where do they get the water from that these drinks are made out of? Is it sewer water, or what? Is it straight from the garden hose? The sodas and other drinks have to be more expensive to make than the regular bottled water. What about all of their ingredients and chemicals? That high fructose corn syrup can't be that cheap! How can plain water be more expensive? Now, you may say that the bottled water is specially filtered, they use reverse osmosis, the water comes from some special natural spring water, or fresh mountain streams. No way!

In our opinion, it's a conspiracy. These water corporations want us to believe that their water is special and pure and we should pay for it. But what about these cheap bottled waters on the market? The brands are endless. Every store in business has their own brand of bottled water. Are these waters straight from the tap? The answer is yes. The truth is, these companies are not required to put their sources on their labels. This year, some companies will begin to state that their water comes from public sources. More than 25% of these companies get their H2O from public water sources. Should you stop drinking these bottled waters because they get their water from a municipal supply? Maybe.
For the prices spent on these bottled waters, you can buy a quality filter and get the water straight from the tap. It will probably be better for you than drinking it from the bottle. The next time you reach for that $4 bottle of water, stop, go home and fill up a glass with your garden hose. You'll probably be drinking the same thing.

And the Oscar goes to?

This election season is the biggest joke yet. It's all a game. All a show. Hillary- no way. Trump- ha! This is just a scripted puppet show now, with the powers that be pulling the strings. They will put who they want in to take orders and we can't do anything about it, but pray. The presidents make 250k per year, or whatever it is, but when they get out of office, that's when they start their speaking engagements, tours and big business endorsements. Then, that's when they cash in on all of the favors and the kick backs and get paid millions for what they did in office, for these controllers.

I can't even turn of the conventions. These people at these conventions cheering and getting into fights.... for what? If they really believe anything these clowns are saying they need some serious help. We're all in trouble. We're gonna do this and we're gonna do that...sure they are. The people in the audience are like drones and just bow down like sheep to the slaughter. Meanwhile with the news media ...it's all you see. What happened to the Zika scare? Ebola? The hungry? The poor? Can't find it on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, nowhere.

Then there's the emails. Why is this a shock to anyone that the whole system is corrupt? Not to us. If we knew the truth, we would all be terrified. That's why I'm writing in Rich for President. So, when you go to the ballots this fall vote Rich for President!

Poke'mon NO!

As if people aren't on their cell phones enough, some ad wizard has to come up with the stupidest game, ok, stupidest nonsense of all time. People are actually going around on their phones looking for imaginary creatures and thinking they accomplished something when they find one. These people must have too much time on their hands. I was thinking of starting a new app called Cut JP's Grass, or better yet, Wash JP's Car. The app can give them a prize on their phone, or some sort of bogus score to make them feel good about themselves.

Some may say it is just a video game, the same as Tetris, or Super Mario Bros. with new technology. Those games didn't have people wandering around like fools, getting in car crashes, robbed, hurt and lost in the process. How about going outside and not being on your cellphone, going for a walk, or bike ride and interacting with someone and not an electronic device. This too is just another fad. Sure, it's probably summertime where you live, but soon the weather will get cold and wintertime will come, then you can kiss this Poke'mon game goodbye. How do I know this? Iv'e seen the people playing it. They won't be outside in the cold. By then, they'll be back indoors with a new Facebook app feeding their online fish. For me it's Poke'mon NO!

Adopt a Television Series

Imagine this for a moment if you will. It is Sunday night and you have your favorite snack in hand along with your favorite beverage of choice. You settle into your favorite chair, or sofa and reach for the remote to turn on the television. Oh, how you waited all week long for your favorite show. Finally a GREAT new REALITY TV SHOW that is worth watching. This show is about REAL people, no staged reality here, just pure true reality. No fake acting, no staged settings, no trained actors, nothing but REAL LIFE television. A television show about something that most, if not all people like and care about (NO, NOT THE KARDASHIANS). What I'm talking about here is a show about CUTE BABIES. You would think that everyone likes to see cute babies, right? Now not only is it about cute babies, it is about HAPPY ADULTS too. Who doesn't like to see happy adults? I know I do, and I'm betting after one episode you will be happy too.

So what is this show? This new series is called AMERICA ADOPTS. It is a television show about real adults adopting real babies, like I said NO FAKING IT HERE, just real people, real situations, real settings, real life. This is a show where TV helps disheartened adult couples who can't have children of their own and can't afford to adopt children have a child that they have always prayed for. What a beautiful show!

Do you know that the average cost in the United States to adopt a baby runs between $10,000 and $40,000 and up? Average cost to adopt from a foreign country can run anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 and up. Now I don't know about you, but I don't think those costs are very conducive for a young couple just starting out in married life, to try to have a child through adoption. Let's say this couple are both working to save for this child, and both have decent employment, he is employed by GM and works for that GREAT starting wage of $14.00/hour and change, she works for her local government and makes that new starting wage of a whopping $10.00 an hour. Quite a while to save to be able to afford a child, given all of life's other obligations. BUT WAIT! PRESTO! Here comes ADOPT AMERICA television, a series that picks up the tab for adoption with all the advertising money, network money, donations from the generous AMERICAN PEOPLE who can afford it (maybe a PBS series) and even the GOOD OL' U.S. GOVERNMENT. With the help of all involved, who knows, maybe we can eventually wipe out children lingering in foster care. Just the thought of it, wish I was a TV mogul. AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL taking care of AMERICA'S MOST BEAUTIFUL. Look at the dollars paid to some of the supposed reality (PLEASE READ PHONY HERE) shows, House Wives this or that, Naked this or that, Honey you know who, Dr. Whomever, Jerry ? and Judge Your on the HOT seat.

What a BEAUTIFUL SHOW!

Back to reality though. I suppose if you look at some of these shows, reality is really UGLY. So, if there is any TELEVISION MOGUL out there reading this, please take a chance and make a dream for me a reality for some couples. I was fortunate to have two children of my own thirty plus years ago, and blessed with three beautiful grandchildren, so I know what a blessing it would be for those wanting to have a baby, but can't afford to adopt. Let's make adoption as simple as turning on the television and watching REAL REALITY TV.

Please leave a comment. Let me know if I'm the only one who feels like this, or if I'm out of touch with REALITY.

Thanks.

Ask Your Doctor About Spiroperoxoactivia Today!

Doctor: Hello, Nancy. How are you doing?
Nancy: Just fine, Doc. And you?
Doctor: Busy! What can we do for you today?
Nancy: I was wondering if you could prescribe that new drug, Spiroperonxoactivia?
Doctor: Okay. Why?
Nancy: Because I want to swim. I want to climb cliffs. I want to para sail. I want to cycle, bowl, play tennis, golf, dance, bungee jump, barbecue outdoors. You know, Doc...all that fun stuff.
Doctor: Ooookay, Nancy. Where did you hear about this drug?
Nancy: On TV. And uhh, I saw it in a magazine. Those people look like they are having quite a good time, Doc.
Doctor: Ooookay.
Nancy: Well, they said to ask your doctor.
Doctor: Ooookay.
Nancy: They also said, I should tell you if I have any gastrointestinal problems, bleeding ulcers, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, cancer, TB, asthma, allergies, sore teeth, chronic pulmonary obstruction, or anal leakage.
Doctor: Ooookay.
Nancy: You know what else they said?
Doctor: Nooooo...

WE INTERRUPT THIS TALL TALE FOR AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Your local large chain drugstore is advertising wine and beer at state minimum pricing. No need to go to the drive thru or your local state liquor store anymore, they will not sell you any tobacco products because it's counterproductive to a healthy lifestyle. Saving you from the perils of lung cancer and all the dangers of smoking, but they have no problem helping you boil your liver. Thank you, giant drugstore chains, for looking out for us.

WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR LITERARY PROGRAMMING

Nancy: They said this drug might cause coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, dizziness, asthma, hypertension, nervousness, suicide, aching muscles, headaches, blindness, bleeding ulcers, Alzheimer's, it may cripple you, stroke, it might even kill you. But you know what, Doc?
Doctor: Noooo....
Nancy: It has to be worth it. Did you see what a great time those people are having?

WE INTERRUPT THIS TALL TALE FOR AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Do we really need a television commercial to tell us what we should ask our medical professional to prescribe for us? Isn't he the one who should suggest to us what we need? Isn't that why he went to medical school? Now we should maintain our right to say yes or no to a prescribed drug, but come on, tell the doctor if you have any preexisting ailments? Doesn't he already know your medical history? If not, FIND A NEW DOCTOR!

Remember tobacco ads? Now the government said those companies are not allowed to air them any longer. Man, they are saving lives by the minute. I know what you are thinking. And no, I do not smoke cigarettes. Do you know how many deaths there are from prescribed drugs, whether it be from the wrong prescription, or drug interaction with another drug, or drug overdose? The numbers might surprise you. Why should these drug companies be allowed to advertise? Do you feel inundated by the number of these ads they run on TV and in magazines? I mean, if anybody has the money to pay for these ads, Lord knows it is the drug companies. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Let us all get our government to put a stop to it.

WE INTERRUPT THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ANOTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGE

If you should happen to become one of those unfortunate consumers of the drug Spiroperoxoactivia, and have severe anal leakage, please contact the law offices of attorneys Lots & Luck by calling
1-888-888-SPIRO.

WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR LITERARY PROGRAMMING

God help us all!
