Made me wish we had a better red handle rule around these parts. Too many members not realizing how they're impacting other members here.

Consciously or subconsciously, more and more take on the anger, talk, and style of the thing they hate the most. And attack without realizing how much people on their own side it impacts.

Just a cocktail of chemicals. When I see people drinking that shit they’re usually unhealthy and overweight

Is not the point. It’s poison. As I said wh3n I see people drinking I, they’re usually overweight. The “diet” part is a joke.

For some people, it’s not about the calories, but the sugar.

And even if they are ingesting a lot of calories from the burger and fries, at least not from the drink? Ease off on the sanctimony.

Drink that many in a day. Just not that into it.

For leg cramps, Doctor advice,water,water,water. Keep those kidneys functioning. That does not mean coffee or tea!

7UP does settle an upset stomach.

a week, hate coffee, drink 1 cup of tea a day, never smoked, drink alcohol rarely nowadays and have lost 120 pounds over the last 4 years, while regularly drinking Diet drinks. I don't drink sugarific sodas.

I was referring specifically to Pepsi Max as regards cramps, otherwise I don't get cramps.

such as they are, will realize that shipping all the jobs overseas was NOT such a good idea after all? Maybe when they lose enough money, they will start to re-think their greed? Ivanka's sweatshops must all be closed by now. How will she afford Botox, plastic surgery, and lousy "fashions"?
