The present itself won't necessarily be whats funny, but believe me, it'll get the most laughs.

I was thinking about a gift card to our local Priscillas "naughty" store and wrapping it like that to the point where you could almost fit in it! We will see...


Is well water better?
I love well water. I lived in the country for 18 years before I packed up and went to the city for college. The Richmond water was HORRIBLE. I had one of those 5 gallon water things in my apartment! It was much better and came in handy for those hangovers!
The well water at my folks' house had iron issues. Tshirts eventually turned a rust tint and the toilets all stained. We got a water treatment system and now the water is so soft its hard to get the soap off ya when you shower it lathers so well!

The day that happens is the day I will probably go to jail...If the county wants to PAY for the well's initial cost its a different story...but until then...ha

Speaking of well water, the last two places ive had, had well water. In british columbia, the well water was the best water i have ever had. Pure spring water, clear, and tasted great!

The water we have at our farm here, isnt that bad either. It has some iron in it, and is a little hard, but we got a smoking deal on a culligan water softener, and all of our water issues were solved. (well except drinking)

We have a water cooler for drinking water, and buy water in tow, but just for now till we build our new place. When we build, we are going to have a filter system for the drinking water, just to have high quality well water, and then we dont have to carry those jugs in and out of the house!

Im also pretty proud to say that when we got this place, we trenched in all our own water lines, hooked up everything to the home, and hooked up everything to the softener. We used pex and it was a breeze.


Also installed our own septic system, and pump out
