My brain is numb. I can’t think.

November 28th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Health and fitness

My husband grumbles about how wrong it is to have to pay for water.  “Water belongs to every creature on our planet, it shouldn’t be a commodity that people profit from, and it’s all just bottled tap water anyway” – is his usual spiel.  “No it isn’t! It comes from the glacier fed pristine mountain-top [...]
