For the record, Splenda does not take the place of sugar well in coffee. Just in case you were wondering.

Ooh, I'm afraid I'll have to disagree. I prefer Splenda to sugar, if I have any sweetener in my coffee. In fact, I would prefer to have unsweeteened coffee if I did not have access to Splenda.

I t heart Splenda.

And don't bother telling me that it's all radioactive and stuff, 'cause Willy knows. Willy don't care.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if the reason I think artificial sweeteners taste like crap is because they're migraine triggers for me. It occurs to me that I've not identified any triggers that I think taste good--either I'm cheating, or my body changes how it feels about the foods in self defense.

Do you just moisten skin, scrub on the scrub, and rinse off? Is it for exfoliation? Can you eat it?

Yes, yes, and well, it won't kill you.

Hee. I knew someone would come along and disagree with me :). Oh, well. I'm trying to switch over, 'cause we're going to start South Beach after the holidays. But, I think I may just have to go without, 'cause ewwwww.

Where is everyone? I need my procrastination helpers!

I was out kicking the ass of the universe up one side and down the other. It took a while, as whenever I thought I was done, I remembered something else (like Aimee's friend or C's father or KB's employers or Fox's whole-cloth creation of a war on Christmas), and I would have to aim another kick at the universe's groin.

Hopefully the universe will be off sulking and taking Demorol for the next week or so, and we can all have a peaceful and happy couple weeks.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I use a combination of Saccharin and Aspartame in my hot drinks.

Anybody know where I put my debit card?

My ATM card stopped working about a month ago, so I called my bank (credit union) to get a replacement, and they said "Oh, we don't use those anymore. We'll send you a debit/VISA card." It arrived right before we left for Germany, and I put it somewhere because without the PIN there was no point in carrying it.

So, if you were me, where would you have put it?

ION, I'm making another big batch of toffee, as apparently the first batch was a huge hit at the embassy party.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Raq, it's either somewhere safe, or it's in your other pants. I don't know which other pants, though.

I want to go to lunch with Nora!

I have to work too. And that pesky geography thing is getting in the way.

eta: geogrpahy? sheesh.
