Our upstairs AC unit went out today....having to replace the whole thing...and we have no AC in the bedrooms tonight.....argh................have to drag out the fans.

But, at least we got a no-interest plan from Wells Fargo....I hate paying interest, so this is the only good thing about the whole situation....

BTDT! We obtained a no interest loan and a couple of grand off because of opting for a high efficiency HVAC system. It included a 12v DC motor that constantly circulates the air through a HEPA filter. Costs less to run that the old unit so I am glad we opted for those extras.

Mr Mertex already explained that he got $500 for getting it before the summer rush, and it's guaranteed for 10 years.....it's all wonderful........

I was tipped off to an Amazon customer review site, topic: Haribo Sugarless Gummi Bears. This is one example of the customer reviews of this item:

Oh man...words cannot express what happened to me after eating these. The Gummi Bear "Cleanse". If you are someone that can tolerate the sugar substitute, enjoy. If you are like the dozens of people that tried my order, RUN!

First of all, for taste I would rate these a 5. So good. Soft, true-to-taste fruit flavors like the sugar variety...I was a happy camper.

BUT (or should I say BUTT), not long after eating about 20 of these all hell broke loose. I had a gastrointestinal experience like nothing I've ever imagined. Cramps, sweating, bloating beyond my worst nightmare. I've had food poisoning from some bad shellfish and that was almost like a skip in the park compared to what was going on inside me.

Then came the, uh, flatulence. Heavens to Murgatroyd, the sounds, like trumpets calling the demons back to Hell...the stench, like 1,000 rotten corpses vomited. I couldn't stand to stay in one room for fear of succumbing to my own odors.

But wait; there's more. What came out of me felt like someone tried to funnel Niagara Falls through a coffee straw. I swear my sphincters were screaming. It felt like my delicate starfish was a gaping maw projectile vomiting a torrential flood of toxic waste. 100% liquid. Flammable liquid. NAPALM. It was actually a bit humorous (for a nanosecond)as it was just beyond anything I could imagine possible.

AND IT WENT ON FOR HOURS.

I felt violated when it was over, which I think might have been sometime in the early morning of the next day. There was stuff coming out of me that I ate at my wedding in 2005.

I had FIVE POUNDS of these innocent-looking delicious-tasting HELLBEARS so I told a friend about what happened to me, thinking it HAD to be some type of sensitivity I had to the sugar substitute, and in spite of my warnings and graphic descriptions, she decided to take her chances and take them off my hands.

Silly woman. All of the same for her, and a phone call from her while on the toilet (because you kinda end up living in the bathroom for a spell) telling me she really wished she would have listened. I think she was crying.

Her sister was skeptical and suspected that we were exaggerating. She took them to work, since there was still 99% of a 5 pound bag left. She works for a construction company, where there are builders, roofers, house painters, landscapers, etc. Lots of people who generally have limited access to toilets on a given day. I can't imagine where all of those poor men (and women) pooped that day. I keep envisioning men on roofs, crossing their legs and trying to decide if they can make it down the ladder, or if they should just jump.

If you order these, best of luck to you. And please, don't post a video review during the aftershocks.

PS: When I ordered these, the warnings and disclaimers and legalese were NOT posted. I'm not a moron. Also, not sure why so many people assume I'm a man. I am a woman. We poop too. Of course, our poop sparkles and smells like a walk in a meadow of wildflowers. Thanks for all the great comments. I've been enjoying reading them and so glad that the horror show I experienced from snacking on these has at least made some people smile.

Tell me you didn't laugh.

Well, the girls arrived late Sunday night. We crashed and then got ready to move camp to the "country" place for the next three weeks. Of course, the milking does had to brought along, since no one else will take care of them, or their milk. My daughter has been helping me overcome the disastrous mess that my partner has left around this place. We took the goats on a "picnic" this afternoon and everyone had a blast. We had a lesson about triangles a bit ago, learning how to calculate angles and the hypotenuse. Tomorrow we will be applying our lesson in order to square the stakes we are setting to establish the foundation for our shed.
It's been really neat, having them around. The girls have been playing and exploring while their mom and I are working. I have several projects to work on while we are here, too. Some they will help with, some they can ignore.
It's so nice to have my family here with me!

Grapes. Green grapes. I think I shall have some. Anybody want a grape?

I love grapes. I never understood why anyone would want them peeled...I tried it once and was not a fan.

The worst thing about being back at work is that I have to wear a bra again.

They are the most annoying things ever invented.

This is my mom...

Your mom sounds like a cool lady!

My mom is awesome...one of the funniest people around. Between her and all of my goofball uncles, I grew up with lots of laughter.

I went to the gynecologist this morning. Unfortunately, she found out about my surgery and as a result, I'm going to have to take those stupid shots for 4 weeks after surgery to insure I don't get another blood clot. Whoopie! (said sarcastically). My stomach is gonna be bruised again. Surgery is on Friday. Although I have to laugh, in her words "You're not an ass, we want you to live!" My gynecologist has a great bedside manner.

I won't ingest any artificial sugar at all. Ya gotta read ingredient labels on literally everything now. Especially if it's got the label "diet", "lite" or "reduced sugar" on it.

By the way, brought the wife home at 1:30PM, she was itching to get out of the hospital by 10 this morning. She's doing fine, hurts when she gets up and moves with a constant ache but the gave her Percocet so she 's up for a while then back in bed sleeping for a while. Appetite is great and she can have whatever she wants, the apple pie ala mode disappeared.....

Even, or I should say especially, with most processed deserts (and many foods) the primary sweetener is high fructose corn syrup because it's a fraction of the cost of sugar. We look for all natural that specifically utilizes sugar as some "all natural" foods still use high fructose corn syrup or we simply make our own so that we control the ingredients that go into it.
