I don't have any vices any more either.I need to find one.I don't have any suggestions that are appropriate in mixed company though.
Did ya ever look in the bottom of a soda bottle that has set empty for a day?The crap in the bottom looks like tar.Thats probably what the bottom of my stomach looks like too.
Off to face another day of nuttiness.Don't think I'm ready yet....

Chief Mike and Ralph - as my mother would say "staying busy keeps you off the streets and out of jail - so good job staying busy" ;-)

I love all the conversation of POT this morning - I think John started it. More POT please (not equal to more pots). But I have a bunch of Medical Marijuana stock - so I am excited that POT is becoming legal... hee hee

Chris I just imagined haywagon / pumpkin / holiday season and your ass falling off the hay wagon as you reach for a soda - hee hee

And MY DEFAULT for soda is fruit juice - but now a days that has tons of sugar too. But my doctor said that artificial sweeteners (like diet soda or diet anything) actually much worse for my body than pure sugar, since your body can process pure sugar much more cleanly. And artificial everything gives me migraine headaches. So I would rather be fat and healthy, than skinny with migraines ;-) Finally more flavored waters are being sold near me which help since I get bored with straight water all the time. Thanks too for the inspiration, Jessica!

AND YES, for those of you that caught I DON'T DO ARTIFICIAL - it answers the question - MY GIRLS are REAL ;-)

And yes FW - I get the need for wet - we are hot in forest fire season.

Oldman - OUCH - kidney stone OUCH !

Heather, hate to wish for the stuff, but trees and shrubs are dying for lack of moisture. Go figure! LOL!!

Hope everyone has a great day! Stay safe!

Never had much trouble giving up sodas. Passed a kidney stone several years ago. I found out what it felt like to have a bowling ball coming out of a tiny opening. Water is just fine with me. I don't care what fish do in it.

Morning everyone wanting on that first pot. Headed home in couple of hours.

Morning All

Chris - Good luck on your challenge of giving up soda..It takes a lot of hard work...but I'm sure you can do it. I gave up soda on January 1st and have only touched it 3 times sense. Not really a fan of it any more.
