Water issues

October 5th, 2006 at 08:35 pm

Okay, so my daughter hates when I do this. I take my own water with me when I go to a restaurant around here. It's like this...the water in this area is horrible. Tastes like you just scrubbed something with it. So they put lemons in it and it tastes like dishwater with lemons. In order not to pay l.50 to 2.00 for bottled water or a soft drink or tea, I take my own. We don't eat out as much, but I still hate to pay that much for a drink. I guess I'm spoiled. I grew up in an area where they made Jack Daniels and George Dickel whiskeys just a hop, skip and jump from us. We were on a well that came from the same water system. Tasted awesome and was so cold it hurt your teeth. Ours here is brown half the time, something to do with tannins. Don't get me wrong, I am glad to have my city send me water. Couldn't live without it, I just can't drink it. It does a number on my stomach. I have had water delivery for years. Is it wrong to take my own to a restaurant? I just don't want to pay so much for a drink that should cost so little. I don't take my own soft drink or something, just water. Maybe when my DD inherits all my wealth, she'll be happy I saved the money on my drinks.....

    I remember hating it when my grandmother would take her own dressing to restaurants. She's order like a plain baked potatoe and as soon as it got to the table she'd whip out her own little container of stuff. Granted, she was on a pretty strict diet and she couldn't have anythign they offered, but it was embarrassing to me. But water? I always have my water bottle with me, whether I'm going out to eat or not. Ok maybe not always but often enough. I don't see that as any big deal.

    I see nothing wrong with it! We take George Dickle and our own diet sprite out with us when we eat out.

    I might start doing that, as long as the restaurants don't mind!

    Taking your own water sounds good to me. Hey, the restaurant lowers its water bill right!Smile

    I remember when I was a teenager, everything my mom did embarrassed me. You might just as well save money and bring your own water!
