Happy Thanksgiving from Fontis Water

by

We all hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. As you enjoy time with family and friends, we hope you reflect on the all the things you are grateful for this year. We are more than thankful for all of our customers. And just like you, we too will be enjoying time with our families this week. Our offices will be closed Thursday and Friday (November 22 and 23, 2018). Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Fontis Water! But before we go, here are some fun facts to impress family and friends.

Turkey Day Trivia

First. did you know our national holiday actually stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621?

It is true, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. That feast is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. However, for more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. In 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln.

More fun facts to impress your family and friends, because isn’t that what we do at the holidays?

100,000+ is the number of questions experts will typically answer between November and December on Butterball’s Turkey Talk-Line. More importantly, if you need the number here it is 1-800-288-8372. You are welcome!

Did you know 244 million turkeys were raised in the United States in 2016. And roughly 44.5 million of them came from Minnesota.

Perhaps one of the most staggering numbers is $2.983 billion. This is the amount spent on Thanksgiving dinner in the U.S. Now that is a lot of turkey and dressing, however there are no regrets!

Sweet potatoes anyone? 3.1 billion pounds of sweet potatoes were produced by major sweet potato producing states in 2015.

Fun places to live and eat turkey? How about Turkey Creek, Arizona; Turkey, Texas; Turkey Creek village, Louisiana; and Turkey, North Carolina.

Lastly, turkey was not at the top of the list at the first Thanksgiving. Most likely, the first feast probably had deer or venison, ducks, geese, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish. While these all sound amazing, aren’t we grateful for turkey and dressing?

Again, Happy Thanksgiving to you all. May it be a time of joy for all.

Labor Day Weekend Fun in Atlanta

by

It is Labor Day weekend in Atlanta and honestly, you could not ask for more to do in our great city. From parades to football, there is something for everyone this last official weekend of summer.

Dragon Con

The 2018 Dragon Con has arrived in Atlanta this weekend. Yes, the city might look a bit different as thousands descend upon the streets of our town dressed as super heroes, Star Wars characters, wizards, warlocks, and the list goes on!

In case you don’t know how Dragon Con started, here are the basic facts. Pat Henry, David Cody, John Bunnell and Robert Dennis all chipped in $300, rounded out with a few of their friends planned the first Dragon Con for the fall of 1987.

The idea was to combine fandoms and genres into a single convention for fans who, like them, were interested in different things. In the early going, that meant bringing a science fiction convention and gaming convention together in the same hotel. Some 1,200 fans turned out to meet science fiction luminaries Michael Moorcock and Robert Asprin and gaming royalty Richard Garriott and Gary Gygax. Moorcock and his longtime friend Eric Bloom, lead singer for Blue Oyster Cult, jammed on stage. The Atlanta Radio Theater broadcast a live performance of H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu from the con. In almost every respect, the show was a smash and the attendance grows every year.

Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game

Labor Day may be the end of summer, but it’s also the beginning of college football season. This weekend at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Auburn Tigers will take on the Washington Huskies. The game begins at 3:30 ET, but fans can enjoy all kinds of events before the game, including Fan Fare!

Not into fighting the crowds or the traffic? A weekend on the couch sounds great to us too! What could be better than watching your favorite team in your comfy clothes. We like that idea too, and remember there is also the US Open and the Braves! No matter where your plans take you, stay safe and stay hydrated with Fontis Water! Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Are Your Drinking Enough Water to Stay Healthy

by

There are all types of statistics out there that tell us how much water to drink. 8 glasses? 60 ounces? Half your body weight? Does anyone know the real answer?

The good news is that some of your required fluid intake comes from the foods we eat, but it is important that we drink enough H2O each day, especially in the summer.

According to CNN.com, water is known as the “elixir of life, with good reason, and every system in your body needs it to survive.

“Water regulates our body temperature, keeps our joints lubricated, helps prevent infections and delivers nutrients to our cells,” said registered US dietitian and CNN contributor Lisa Drayer. “Additionally, our kidneys and liver work hard to get rid of toxins in our bodies, and they depend on water to do their job.”

Hydration and your Health

“You could quickly become constipated as your colon steals water from your stool to keep your digestive system moving. Urine will become darker; prolonged dehydration can also crystallize salts and minerals in urine, possibly leading to the formation of painful kidney stones.”

How much should you drink to stay hydrated during exercise?

“Because dehydration can often be mistaken for hunger, you might gain weight as you try to satisfy your body’s needs. Fortunately, the opposite is also true if you’re hydrated. ‘If you are looking to lose weight, water can help you shed pounds,’ Drayer said. ‘Drinking a glass of water before a meal can fill you up a bit and help you eat fewer calories at a meal.’
If you suffer from migraines, studies show that a lack of fluids might easily trigger an episode. Headaches are also likely to last longer if you’re low on fluids. In addition, dehydration can leave you unable to concentrate, cause short-term memory problems and leave you feeling moody and anxious.”

Signs of Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated. Signs of dehydration in adults include:

  • Extreme thirst
  • Less frequent urination
  • Dark-colored urine
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion

Fontis Water

To help you stay hydrated, Fontis Water can deliver to your home or office. For more information call us at 678-494-1981.

Hands Free Georgia

by

In case you have not heard, Georgia is now a hands free state. This means hands free when it comes to your mobile device, but you can still hold that bottle of Fontis Water!

What’s It All About

What does Hands Free mean to you?

“The biggest misconception is that Georgia drivers will not be able to use their phones,” Rep. John Carson explained to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “What the law says is that you physically cannot hold it or support it.”

Drivers can no longer cradle or hold a phone or other electronic wireless device behind the wheel, unless making an emergency call. Georgians cannot use more than one button to answer or use a mobile phone. The also cannot reach for one, if doing so means undoing a seat belt or standing up.

“Drivers are allowed to use GPS, voice-to-text features, and can make and receive phone calls hands-free. Single-ear headphones and Bluetooth pieces are acceptable aids for this. If a driver doesn’t have a Bluetooth-capable car or device, using an earbud with a mic on it (like the ones that come with most phones) is a good workaround. The bill also still allows for use of in-car navigation, communication and entertainment systems.”

Although there have been rumors out there, drivers can stream music through their phone while driving. However, remember you cannot touch your phone to change songs. Also, the new law prohibits drivers from watching videos, so music streaming apps that have video are not allowed. Remember also that headsets and earpieces can only be worn for communication purposes – not for listening to music.

So remember to keep those hands off that phone and we really were not kidding about the Fontis Water. It’s completely okay to drink our water and drive. Don’t have our water delivered to your home or office? We can take care of that, just give us a call at 678-494-1981.
