Hey, Aims, what ever happened with that tenant that refused to let your people in without something like 30 days notice?

Turns out, she wasn't hiding pot, she was hiding (dum Dum DUUUUM!)...

A MAN AND A DOG!! Which she is now being charged extra for.

Lately I've been mixing a bit of 100% fruit juice with a lot of fizzy water, and it is muy tasty.

yeah, I do this a lot. I find most fruit juice too sweet anyway. I also sometime cut coke with lime flavored fizzy water. It is also yummy.

Which she is now being charged extra for.

Heh, well, better than jail for growing the sweet kind bud.

I also sometime cut coke

I don't know if drugs are on my brain today or what, but this seriously made me do a double take!

diet Coke, fizzy drink of champions. And according to my diabetes coach, the anti-aspartame studies were financed by the Sugar Council.

I have to admit, I drink way more Coke and Dr Pepper than I should. Because they taste good, and I don't like coffee (or really, any hot drink for actual thirst-quenching--I'll drink hot chocolate or mulled cider for taste), so I have to get my caffeine somewhere.

They can have my Diet Coke when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

DH is pissed because I let Liv takes sips out of my diet coke at restaurants when she fusses. It quiets her down and she doesn't get more than an ounce or so. Sometimes she just dips her binky in my cup and pops it back in her mouth.

It makes me feel like Britney Spears.

Unfortunately a lot of fruit juices have HFCS in them as well and you have to watch out for that.

I try to only get 100% juice fruit juices. Nom nom nom.

And according to my diabetes coach, the anti-aspartame studies were financed by the Sugar Council.

This probably wouldn't surprise me. Though I still think that if you don't *need* to consume an artificial chemical sweetener, you shouldn't. But I know that's not necessarily a popular theory.

So, I think I've mentioned here, or maybe it was when the Seattlistas last got together, that I've picked up the habit of reading some of the Christian Dominionist blogs. Sort of a weird fascination with the lifestyle, since I knew people in college who were part of the movement in its embryonic form and who tried to convince me of its validity. I guess it's a "there but for the grace of God go I" thing, only I'm sure they'd phrase it just the opposite.

Anyway, on one of the blogs I read there's a "should women vote" discussion going. For real. General consensus seems to be you should, but only under your husband's or father's headship, because while in an ideal world only male heads of household would vote, they shouldn't give such an advantage to the other side, so you should vote as your husband/father directs, especially this time, to "keep Mrs. Clinton out of the White House."

t pounds head against wall

I'm so glad I got out of that belief system...

I wish I could say I was surprised by that, or that I could even work up a rant about this crazy wimmens are a different species thing that seems to be gathering steam in the last several years, but I'm tired and I want to go home.
