Slick and Ice water? How hot is the weather there?
I know about the cola addiction I too have been trying to cut mine down . Its really hard to. I have once but I staarted up again at a stressfull period in my life. Keep it up.

The only time I ever had a craving for Coke was when I was pregnant. But not just ANY coke, it had to be soda fountain coke with crunchy ice that I would have to drive to the local drug store to get

[gini]

Ice water? Is this something I should have on hand at the BBQ?
Where do you get it?

David - we will toast you today with all good wishes for you and your Dr.'s visit.

[Logan]

Good luck, David, today at the doctor!!!

I drink Ice Water all day long.......sort of boring for a Thursday, if you ask me, Slick!!! LOL!!!! Let's break out and drink something different, especially since it is a cyber drink.......and we don't really have to pay for it tomorrow!!!

T & P's Mom, Debbie, I feel your pain. I have been doing everything possible to lower my Blood Pressure, including knocking out caffeine, which means a limited amount of Diet Coke. Darn it! I love Diet Coke!! And I used to drink 2-4 per day, but I am down to one now. Hope it is helping as I miss it so much!!!!

Hi, everyone!
All this talk about coke has be hankering for one. Could I have a big cherry vanilla coke, and the cats would like 4 cat nip teas on ice.

What's good to eat today?

*Mario walks up and holds out a fist full of squashed blueberries, juice running down his arm.*

Aw, Mario! Thanks for sharing but I wouldn't want to take your blueberries when you enjoy them so much!

Where did you get the wild trunks?

[davidpizzica]

I want to thank EVERYONE fo their well wishes and encouragement It is helping things go a little smoother and me a little braver! I'll start a new thread telling everyone of the outcome. Again many thanks!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Good luck David!

Gee, I can't believe how many are trying to quite the Coke thing like I am! Maybe there's a Coke Addicts Anonymous out there for us.

I broke down and went to McDonald's for lunch. Not quite the good food you'll get here at Thursday's but their Coke is what started it years and years and years ago, and still, to this day, nothing beats a McDonald's coke. Like Laurie says, it has to be out of the soda fountain, with 5 home tray type ice cubes and a straw. Out of the can - forget it! Out of the plastic bottle - no thanks! .....I've got it bad....

Mario, sweetie, no thanks but I don't want the blueberries in my Coke. Try MOFF, she likes the vanilla coke, maybe she'd like blueberry coke?

Oh, and it must be hot for Slick. She didn't even mention her usual BM before she left in such a hurry!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Mario, sweetie, no thanks but I don't want the blueberries in my Coke. Try MOFF, she likes the vanilla coke, maybe she'd like blueberry coke?

I'm not so sure about blueberry coke but I do love strawberry coke. I make it with half strawberry pop and half coke or a little less strawberry if you don't like it strong. I used to work at a little burger joint, way before McDonald's was born. We fixed some wild drinks with coke.
I love the smell of coke from the fountain!

In real life I haven't had any brand of pop for months. My tummy has been bothering me and it feels so much better if I leave the stuff alone. It's water or tea for me! I sure miss it though!

[DJFyrewolf36]

GL at the doctors David!!

No coke for me thanks. Im not a huge fan...now if you put a Mountain Dew in front of me I'll drool lol. I really do drink too much of the stuff...

My roomate came up with some great drinks yesterday. Melon premixed margarita and raspberry soda...yumm! Also, strawberries, milk, rum, blender!!! Yummmmmmy! *gee what was I doing yesterday lol*

It'ssssss Thursday which means it's bunny cam. day at my fav. bunny rescue! (ok, so it's on every day... but I only get to see it on Thurs.)

http://www.bunnyluv.org/bunnycams.htm

Cam 2 is where all the action is - someone just fed them so they're all in one spot.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow! Mario, come look at all the bunnies!! I don't think I've ever seen so many bunnies in one spot! How cute, though, that they've got the bunnycam so you can check in.

[lbaker]

ooo, ooooo I just spotting the one I want!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

What a cute bunny cam! I bookmarked it! I love the cam sites!

In honor of Mario and his new love of blueberries, here is a good recipe. I've made it a lot of times and love it!

BLUEBERRY SOUP

2 CUPS (1 PINT) BLUEBERRIES
1/2 CUP SUGAR
1 TBSP CORNSTARCH + 1 TBSP WATER
1 1/2 CUPS WATER

BRING 1 1/2 CUPS WATER TO A BOIL. ADD BERRIES AND SUGAR, STIRRING JUST UNTIL THE SUAR IS DISSOLED.

ADD CORNSTARCH THAT WAS MIXED WITH 1 TBSP WATER.

RETURN TO A BOIL.

COOL.

COVER AND REFRIGERATE. SERVE WELL CHILLED. ADD A DOLLOP OF SOUR CREAM OR YOGURT IF DESIRED. NON FAT WORKS GREAT TOO.

MAKES 2, 1 CUP SERVINGS.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!
And what pray-tell is wrong with ice water??????
In reality I'm a big water drinker and when I'm working I go through about 2 litres a day because I don't drink coffee or tea. Also, when it's this hot, liquor just doesn't appeal to me.
The humidity here lately is so bad you need at least a couple of showers a day to keep the bugs away....

Zipster: Just love those bunnycams. I've put them in my favourites.

David: I looked for your update thread but couldn't find it. Perhaps I'd better put on my NEW glasses and look again.

So, I'm back for a couple of hours then on the road again so without further ado...

I'll take a DOTD and make it a double please.......

Thank you.
