Okay, yea got me there. The point I was trying to make was that if I am

going to drink the stuff, I certainly think I am worth the extra money

not to have the sugary stuff. Geez. You guys really do catch everything

don't ya.

Lori,

I had to kinda chuckle at this one. Any of those " quality " drinks you

mention aren't really " quality. " The only ones of those are water and

natural fruit and/or vegetable juices that you squeeze yourself.

Nah, I'm with you, hon. I couldn't drink natural juice if someone held a knife

to me -- makes me dump too hard (natural sugars hit me every bit as hard as good

old white stuff.) Haven't had a glass of anything other than the occasional V-8

in 3 years, and I go easy on that as it's so acidic. If I'm going to drink

something other than water, it will be Crystal Light or SF Tang, or I will be

totally bad and drink diet soda (I have become seriously addicted to Diet

Vanilla Coke, and always did love Diet Dr. Pepper.)

Not to worry! We're not all perfect!

I'm with yea on not keeping the sodas at home. I still do Diet Coke

every so often. Someone told me once at church that the reason I was

retaining so much water was because of all the soda I was drinking. I

asked her if she knew how many I drank in a week or for that matter since

surgery. She said no. I told her that the ones she had seen me drink at

church was all I ever had. She politely shut up. It averaged about once

every 2 weeks.
