Dusty, cool to hear from you, yeh I have a friend on the ALC board who had a little girl, then they decided to adopt a little girl from Chine, only to fall pregnant quickly after, she just had a little boy... so she has her hands full Smile

good luck with the process.

Well here is a small update on my diet coke adventures. I have been off of them for a while now. Yesterday was deadline day for me which means a long day at the office starting very early in the morning. Well I leave the office and head straight to class on Tuesdays. Class is four hours long much of it in the dark. So I decided I needed a pick me up to survive the never ending lecture so I broke down and bought a diet Dr. Pepper. It was the most foul tasting thing. Yeak, I poured it out and filled the bottle with water.

I don't want to give the impression that I am perfect on this front, I do enjoy a diet root beer from time to time. But It is not an all day everyday kind of thing.

I can't stand Dr. Pepper, diet or otherwise. It's vile.

This is stupid, but when I was a kid we would pour a glass put it in the microwave, heat it up and drink it. We called it hot pepper.

Oh, I've heard of that. Squeeze claims that he's known two other hardcore Dr. P addicts (aside from myself, I still get the shakes of desire when I see it), and that they both insisted on it being room temp and uncarbonated.

Now I'm craving diet pepsi.

Diet pepsi? *Shudders* If you're going to do the deed, at least drink the real thing. That would be a great post-workout carb-up. Can you get your hands on any mexican-bottled soda up there? That's what we always look for around here, because it's made with real sugar instead of hfcs. It has a much cleaner flavor, and usually comes in those beautiful glass bottles so that it feels like a real treat.

No, we don't have them here. I love the taste of soda whenever we're in the Carribbean, though - they almost always import the real-sugar Mexican stuff.

I actually hate 'real' (North American) pepsi and prefer the taste of diet.

Squeeze is always threatening to take a trip to the original Dr. P bottling plant in texas, where they still make it with real sugar, and bring back a truckload. I asked how he planned on keeping me out of it (I don't allow the stuff in our home because I can't control myself, even after all this time) , and he threatened to put it in underground storage with a big hairball and some toenail clippings on top!
