Ooh. I love it mixed with club soda and lime juice, but then you'd have to drink even more (I'm not a fan of the plain or sweetened varieties by themselves).
I feel like I've read the whole internet. Or at least, all the places I go on it.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I think the only way I've ever liked cranberry juice is in this drink that my sister always makes for Thanksgiving with cranberry juice and prosecco. And she uses cranberry juice cocktail for that. (Also makes a version for the people who don't drink alcohol with some sort of fancy bubbly French lemonade and the cranberry juice, which is also pretty good.)

I think if you can get cranberry juice with artificial sweetener it doesn't affect the infection. It's only sugar that feeds the wee beasties.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
finally reinstalled Quicken.
...there was a brief, puzzled moment in which I went to a "There can only be ONE!!!" headspace - but I'm guessing you're not an immortal sword-wielding dude. Although I've been wrong before.
Meanwhile, I should be making up a script for Mr Wolf's Pancakes, tailoring it to the kids in my drama group. As they've just auditioned, and been quite hilarious. But...I think I may go home, hit the gym, and get some yummy dinner before I go and audition for a part in Neil Simon's Rumors.
I don't feel terribly hopeful, because I suspect there will be shitloads of people auditioning, and I was a bit crap in my last auditioning thing (and am, apparently, bitter about having only got a very wee role in the Fringe! Even though I'm reminding myself that there are no small parts, just small actors, blah blah blah BUT I'M THE STAR, DAHLING! SPOTLIGHT! SPOTLIGHT! LOOK AT MEEEEE!!!!! ). Grr. I'll be so much more able to enjoy the Fringe if I know I've got a proper role to look forward to and to be learning afterwards.

Oh, my vast and brittle ego, how pitiful it is.

Hmm. I'm trying to avoid articifial sweeteners. I think I'll wait for the rest of these test results to come back before trying this any more -- I don't feel like I have a bladder infection, but the doctor thinks I might (it was swollen or something, and the blood tests indicated that I've got some sort of infection), so i've got a urine test that we're waiting for. I figured that drinking some cranberry juice while waiting would be a decent idea, but I didn't expect it to be this gross.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
But there was a time... a time when I played a bald headed, sword yielding Monk.
Now i wanna see a sword yielding monk. "Oh, alright then, have it if it means so much to you."

Has anyone here any experience with hyperventilation syndrome? My random self-diagnosis seems to lean towards me having it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My doctor thinks I have a bladder infection. I'm trying to drink some cranberry juice. This is disgusting. I can see why this stuff is usually sweetened.
Try cutting it by at least half with water. I rather enjoy it cut by half with diet 7UP, but understand if you are trying to avoid artificial sweeteners. How do you feel about water with a splash of lemon juice? Could you try drinking water with a splash of cranberry juice several times throughout the day? Ages ago when I was having kidney infections, my doc told me that 4 oz of pure cranberry juice per day was enough to make a difference. He never said it had to be all at once. So if you could handle a glass of 7 oz of water with 1 oz of cranberry juice four times a day, you'd be doing yourself some good, and maybe it would not be as unpalatable. Regardless, I hope you can get some relief soon, and they figure out what meds are best for this one.
Break a leg, Fay.

It would be really cool if there were Immortal Buffistae. Think about it - people using the BRQG to cheer themselves up for ages to come. I don't think it would change anything in the short run though.
