Plei, what about the Knudsen Spritzers? They don't have HFCS, I don't think. Those are mainly fruity, so maybe not up to your soda standards. Blue Sky makes a good root beer, I know, but I don't know what the difference between fructose corn sweetener and HFCS is, unless it's just a matter of sweetness.

or am I being overly helpful again?

Hopefully, the CAFTA treaty will bring the price of sugar down so that more companies will start using that in their products instead of HFCS.

HFCS=high fructose corn syrup.

What does it taste of?

Also, Allyson, are the business suit jackets the kind of thing you could wear with a pair of tightish three quarter length jeans and some spangly flats? And a spangly top under the jacket to match the shoes, maybe?

I wore a red with black polka dot silk swing skirt and a button down black blouse. I felt like a horse.

I don't know if it's better to have food porn for shops I can't get to, or cutie-pie pictures at sites that they don't want us to use at work (bandwidth issues).

I ended up not going with beer last night, but I did sleep, so that was nice.

The gel patch things for burns are great.

This was recommended by my mom too, but the only thing I found in the store said it was not to be used for burns. However, I found some nifty non-stick pads to go under the gauze, and they are my new best friends. Sticking=very bad.

I think I am Deena when it comes to Bones. I was kind of hoping not to like it, as there are two other things of interest at the same time, and I will have a class at that time in a few weeks. Still, I'll already be taping that channel for House, and I did like DB, and also the computer programmer chick. Overall, I liked it more than I expected but less than I hoped - not threadworthy, but worth trying another ep or two.

My business jackets are knee length on me, they're tailored and swingy.

What does it taste of?

It pretty much just tastes sweet, but sort of a little cloyingly sweeter than sugar. It's hard to describe.

Allyson, would you like me to paw through the closets of doom and see if I have something I could send you? In my head, you'd wear a long, flowy skirt of some sort with a nice fitted top & sweater.

Plei, what about the Knudsen Spritzers?

They are sweetened with fruit juices, not quite as sweet as regular soda, and teh yum!

I wore a red with black polka dot silk swing skirt and a button down black blouse. I felt like a horse.

Okay, the swing skirt is good. Do you have a fitted t-shirt in black or red or white? Do you have a cardigan in black, red, or white?
