WRONG !

I live on top of a small mountain, in a somewhat rural area in New England, where it is not only normal to have to have a very deep well, but has been the case since it was settled. Have you never read nor seen "MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE" ? The descriptions of what it took to build the house and dig the well through every kind of rock, is not only funny, but completely accurate.

And just WHAT has the depth of my well to do with my son-in-law ? It was dug long before he was even in this country!

You want everyone to depopulate the cities, yearn to live in a rural place, but you have less than no idea what living such a life entails. So let me tell you about wells. Such a deep well, as I have, is not only necessary in many areas in this country, but it is a good thing! Even during long droughts, I don't run out of water; unlike people who have shallow wells. My water is also purer; though the natural deposits in it, means that I have to have a purifier.

I bet that you don't know anything at all about living in a rural area. Your stupid comment about my well proves that, beyond a shadow of a doubt! LOL

I lived for a time in a rural setting with no running water.

And I drank from a well into which I lowered a bucket (occassional floating bugs and all)--albeit our well was not as deep as yours.

We had an outhouse and no electricity.

(We did have toilet paper, however.)

And the time is soon coming, I hope, when I may be so happy again.
