water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink...

I agree, I thank God for every little object I have. I know that in places like Haiti, or rural India, that it is a miracle to have a drop of clean water. It's always sad when you think about it :(. I might start a charity to donate food and water to various countries and provinces that have the misfortune of having no money or food.

But what water we do get is contaminated with sodium fluoride.So, I am not very grateful for the water which comes out of our taps. They say the sodium fluoride is a good thing, preventing cavities and such, but they are lies, all lies. Guess where sodium fluoride comes from? It is a byproduct of potash production! That is right, they are putting manufactured byproducts into our water, also know as toxic waste! But nobody seems to mind, they just go on in there little world like everything is okay and that everything the schools, media, and governments tell them is okay. Funny that most European countries ban the use of this, as does Japan and many other places, but we just keep on using it.

I am so thankful for good clean drinking water as well. You know, it can be taken for granted when there are countries out there that don't have good drinking water, as it is either really dirty, or they don't have any at all. I am just so thankful I live in the US, where water is plentiful. I try to drink as muh water as I can so I can get the amount that I need to take everyday. I have a huge water bottle sitting by my computer on the table, and it holds 8 glasses of water, so just in one fill, I get the equivalent I need. Now, I don't drink it all that quickly, so it does last me all day long and then some. It is good drinking water, and I am so thankful for that. Take care, and happy mylotting.

I am very tahnkful fo water. I hate to see clean water being used in toilets, which is a waste of perfectly good water. I try to minimize every drop of water I use everyday. By minimizing the amount of water you use, you are also saving water for the world and money too!

It won't be like that for long. Most people don't realize that they don't have a god given right to water, even in more developed places such as the US. We are running out of resources for fresh water. Water isn't free. It belongs to big corporations and is more valuable than oil.

Well I also do not take water for granted but I wish this "god" fellow had the nerve to give fresh clean water to those who really need it. $-MrDollars-$

Hey tomi! I would have to agree with you tomi! I live in a place too where my tap water is safe to drink and I would never want to take it forgranted ever! One Summer when it was very hot we had a water main break and we didn't have water for a day or so and while they were fixing it they turned on the fire hydrants for a little while! Well, I would try to fill up as many pails of water as I could carry back and forth to my house! The water wasn't good to drink, but it was good to at least wash a little! And we have had problems like that every now and then and I can't imagine living without water coming from the tap and feel badly for those that have no water and realize how lucky that I am.

Water is the most valuable resource and the most passionately contested. Drought has become increasingly extreme problem in some parts of our country for almost 5 mos. Effects of EL NINO being felt across the country, water supply shortage was our major problem that leads to shortage of power supply at some regions. The dry spell has been causing losses in Agricultural & Tourism across the country, from farmlands up north to poultry farms & tourist destinations down south. Some waterfalls & dams reach to its critical level and most of these provide hydroelectric power in the region. Now, that the El nino is almost over and we are experiencing rainfalls, we feel relieved that somehow our agony is almost over. Aside of the importance of water as for body intake its major rule also is to provide power supply in the vast consumers. And the shortage is a terrible loss in our livelihood. I am grateful that somehow we are still abundant of safe drinking water in our place where we can lavishly drink. We are thankful to our local government officials for their serious actions on monitoring the safety & supply of water in our area. As we always keep in mind that public service people are aiming to protect their people. We gave them our trust and they pay us with their good service.

I agree 100% with what you just said because i have actually had the bad experience of having no water for a period of time in my life. I lived, day by day, trying to survive on water ever liquid i could muster up.
