Root beer. Because it's root beer

I really never drink soda. Water water water. But once in a blue moon a root beer is soooooo good

Water is the only thing I drink that as it's going down I actually feel grateful that it exists. I used to make the pitchers of Crystal Light lemonade or pink lemonade. I still get the individual packets to add to my water bottles at work. If I just drink straight water, it goes down so much faster and I'd go through several bottles a day...and have to pee a lot.

My preferred drinks are, Dr. Pepper, iced tea (sweet tea) and of course beer. I enjoy Dr. Pepper because of it's unique taste, and it's sweetness, cold iced tea (mint flavored)because it's always refreshing, and beer ... well because it's beer.

I do water during the day after my one or two cups of coffee in the morning. I always go out for lunch at work and probably 95% of the time I get water to drink with my meal. I like that restaurants serve water for free even when they serve it with a lemon or lime.

I thought kids, and adults, kept their porn online these days...hard copies are so old school.

Does he have his own cell phone and PC?

No internet or camera on his cell, although he can receive pics. The desktop is centrally located, but I'm not super concerned about monitoring his every move. He doesn't even take long showers. He's a good kid, with I'm sure the normal curiosities...I'm a lucky mom.

Possible hard copies.
Tread lightly.

I heard on the news today that an academic study was done showing that teens that sexted were more likely to be involved in sexual activity.
Really? You morons in academia needed a study to figure that out? Next, they will tell us a study has shown that water is wet. The morons in the media will report it as news.

If I stumbled across any, I wonder if I'd recognize what this porn is that you speak of...if I'd be able to identify it as such.

Btw....last night...some folks talked about their favorite soft drinks. I like Mountain Dew (mostly for the caffeine buzz) Dr. Pepper....(I really like the taste) or mixing Coke and diet Coke together (less sweet).

What do folks like and why? Just curious.

I stay fastidiously away from all of that stuff, especially cola, and within that especially Coke. When I did imbibe in that (I can barely remember) I'd go for RC Cola just to be different (and for the Southern connection). In the last couple of years I confess I would pick up the occasional six-pack of Slice, mostly because I missed it. Slice came out in the '80s, and then for some reason disappeared for decades. In the interim people kept giving me Sprite as the next closest thing but Sprite couldn't compete.

Since the doctor report in the winter I've jettisoned all that along with wheat. As a result I've now lost nearly 50 pounds. See that avatar you're sporting? That's what brings that sort of thing about -- the bombardment of sugars (high fructose corn syrup especially) and our perverted wheat.

I read labels on everything now, not just sugars or artificial sweeteners (which mean automatic rejection) but saturated fat content and now wheat content. Soft drinks are right out. And at this point if I tasted one it would taste like fizzy hummingbird nectar.

It's like Lumpy noted yesterday being off salty foods and then all food tasted oversalty -- it IS oversalty, and oversugared (they play off each other). You can and should adjust it out of your life.

Yes....I agree with you, and congratulations on your weight loss. Sugared colas are completely empty calories and are obviously nutritionally worthless.

I still like them....but my compromise is mixing about 80% diet coke with about 20% regular. If I drink colas all the time I gain weight....so I refrain to an occasional indulgence.

I drink Ginger ale when my stomachs upset. Other than that, I'll drink the occasional root beer, but it's got to be good root beer.

I can't define porn, but I know it when I see it.
Let me know if you need assistance identifying it. I'm here to help.

I generally reject foods containing high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or loads of fats. Wheat does not seem to be a large problem for me. I recently completed a weight loss program that took 30 lbs of fat off my frame. I've managed to re-integrate many foods into my diet and have maintained that weight loss. Of course, moderation is the key, as well as restricting sugars and fats. I plan on going after another 20 lbs in a week, or so. That will bring me down to the weight I was when I retired from the Army (20 yrs this yr). My goal after that is to keep the weight off. Oh, I also eschew all but the tiniest taste of deep fat fried foods.

Whew, this was a lonnnnnnggggg day for me.

Anyone still got a pot of coffee brewing anywhere?

I can warm one up really quickly...

Root beer. Because it's root beer

I really never drink soda. Water water water. But once in a blue moon a root beer is soooooo good

Water is the only thing I drink that as it's going down I actually feel grateful that it exists. I used to make the pitchers of Crystal Light lemonade or pink lemonade. I still get the individual packets to add to my water bottles at work. If I just drink straight water, it goes down so much faster and I'd go through several bottles a day...and have to pee a lot.

Water...fish pee in that. Is beer a soft drink?

Monks made beer as a substitute for bread. I don't eat much bread...beer, on the other hand...

I've done extensive research on this subject and I'm still not certain. I think I may be able to define it in another few years or so.

Beer bread with a side of beer. Oh yeah!!

I just finished cleaning up the kitchen for Mrs. BBD... Did up all the dishes, swept the floor and carried out the trash. Taco is getting pretty good at drying dishes but he's not tall enough to put them in the cabinet. I can't talk him in to washing dishes though...

I unfortunately don't drink that much water, but I do have a lot of soda, and iced tea throughout the day to stay hydrated. Many of us don't realize that much of the food we eat contains water. For instance, having an apple as a snack is a good way to help stay hydrated.

water is pretty much all I drink these days, sometimes a little fruit juice
