Gloria, if you knew how to read you would know that I never said I service
my RO filter. I don't, I pay the same water treatment specialist who
services my two wells, my two water softeners, and my two UV water treatment
systems... once a year he services everything all together, he bills me $40
for servicing my RO. I could do it myself, changing cartridges is as simple
as changing refills in a ball point pen, but why should I bother, I'd have
to go to the store to buy cartridges, and Walter charges me less for them
because buying them in bulk he pays less then half price. Again, anyone who
rents a UV filter is a moron. Had Ms Wilder said she bought the filter and
pays to have it serviced I might've believed her, but to me it's obvious
she's lying... she doesn't strike me as someone so free with her money who
would pay all that money to have filtered water if she could pay ten times
less by buying her own filter. I mean would you rent a Britta and then pay
someone like $45 to come change the filter every two months.

And you're dumber than a rock about car batteries... it's a one time
occurance in SIX YEARS... I actually paid less by having someone else do it.
Nowadays only cheap *******s who drive ancient clunkers spend all their
spare time playing grease monkey.

Some folks make no sense whatsoever... like the morons who brag about saving
$200 heating with wood... anyone with half an IQ and the brawn to split wood
can earn that much in one evening as a bouncer at the local titty bar.
