We look at each other and usually one of us answer for the other -- "two waters." And since he can't stand lemons, I always get two. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sparkling apple cider is festive; that's my exception. Sparkling blueberry and (I assume) pomegranate juices are exquisite (and perhaps have some redeeming health benefits).<BR/><BR/>You should be careful about misplaced modifiers. While you're quite right, I imagine you did not want to describe <I>yourself</I> as "of organic matter that will rot." *grin*Lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430379219580088681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-38995404908596277712007-07-03T16:12:00.000-04:002007-07-03T16:12:00.000-04:00I commented on my last post, but I was afraid you ...I commented on my last post, but I was afraid you wouldn't see it. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't meaning to be offensive with the "dog" comment. I hope you'll forgive me. I know you are both adorable because I've seen your wedding pictures.

Though, it would help explain the obese look of so many American kids. I enjoy the taste now and again but mostly it's far to sweet for me, and whenever I drink it, I can imagine it rotting my teeth and bones away. <BR/><BR/>I think my children have tasted (watered down) soda maybe 3 times in their life.CappuccinosMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707709617552413520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-84258074252169828702007-07-02T19:05:00.000-04:002007-07-02T19:05:00.000-04:00Harmony's mom,We recycle whenever possible.

However, I'm not so gung-ho about recycling that I'll take soda cans out of the communal trashcan at work ;)<BR/><BR/>Ewokgirl,<BR/><BR/>A little cheating here and there (hopefully) won't hurt too bad :D We all have our weak spots. Harmony and I have fast food every once in a while (out of necessity more than desire), and less frequently we give in to the Chinese food urge (out of desire more than necessity).JunkMalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619673168896233941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-77467507236494361972007-07-02T17:52:00.000-04:002007-07-02T17:52:00.000-04:00You totally made me laugh with that Al Gore line! ...You totally made me laugh with that Al Gore line! :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm ashamed to admit that my no-soft drink stance has been violated. It's bad for my husband's kidneys, but they just brought Vanilla Coke back on the market. The man LOVES vanilla coke. So, being a very sweet wife (even though I'm slowly helping to further destroy his kidneys), I bought 5 12-packs for him. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, he has remarkable self control, and he's going through them very slowly. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, just another reason that sodas aren't good for us. Kidney patients should avoid them, so I suppose the rest of us really should, too!Anne Marie@Married to the Empirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600919522369171555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-36421535468419848592007-07-02T16:39:00.000-04:002007-07-02T16:39:00.000-04:00I am so very glad you and Harmony do not drink sod...I am so very glad you and Harmony do not drink sodas & I am glad I kicked the habit while in college (first done for economic reasons & later realized the health benefits of water were so much better than sugary substitutes). I will add a couple more exceptions, caffeine drinks to keep you awake on long trips, or to wake you up in the morning as my husband does. There is less caffeine in sodas than brewed coffee. <BR/><BR/>Also, consider keeping soda cans, glass, paper, banana peels, apple cores, anything that can be recycled, out of the trash cans. I do take home from my work anything that we don't recycle at work that I can recycle at home. I know, everyone sees me as overboard on this, but I know I have saved lots of things from being trashed over my last 40 some odd years of my recycling. It helps that my parents, being raised during the depression, did not automatically throw things away, they always tried to fix or re-use as much as possible.Harmony's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432818120979375064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37491865.post-88705489474293576022007-07-02T14:26:00.000-04:002007-07-02T14:26:00.000-04:00Ironically, my husband, Eaglewood, is one of the ...Ironically, my husband, Eaglewood, is one of the guys who installs, helps maintain and repairs the government-mandated CO2 monitors for soda factories! lol And, no, he isn't much of a soda drinker... anymore!Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435192830239831841noreply@blogger.com
