Following up on distilled water
I prefer to have distilled water because I read up on the negative effects of fluoride in our tap water. Even the filtered water does not live up to its hype. From what I read and been told none of the filters on the market remove any of the fluoride. This is my research and I encourage you to do your own. I'm trying improve my own health. I want to know what is going into my body. Let's all get healthy together. Here is a little joke to add some healthy laughter.....A jumper cable walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender says Okay! but don't START anything!!

Sharing more on the subject of distilled water
I'm currently researching and learning about its benefits. Stay tuned. By the way here is a little joke for you all. "Why did the pirate throw a barrel of rootbeer into the ocean? Because he heard it would make a great float. :D

JOBs CLUB...WE ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER TO GROW
Jobs Club is for everyone and I really love the spirit of the people that come each week. The flyer says "Whether you’re working, looking for work, or just wanting to support a working pal, all are welcome." Now that is the kind of spirit that makes awesome things happen.
