Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm supposed to be off of carbonation due to bone issues (looks at bottle of diet Coke guiltily and pops more calcium). Is the fizzy water folks are talking about the same thing?
Connie, the bone issues associated with fizzy drinks (specifically colas and other dark drinks) are caused by an acid used in their manufacture, not the carbonation. Here is the page at livestrong that talks about phospheric acid.
It is SO worth it, even for one person.
I will probably break down and purchase one, AFTER I have paid off my debt to the house for the Danny Elfman/Tim Burton box set.
I can't have any carbonation now, supposedly because of the way the carbonated drinks fill up the stomach more than regular water would. I don't know if I believe that or not, but I haven't had any since Thanksgiving, just in case. Considering I was a Diet Coke fiend, I'm surprised I'm doing as well as I am quitting it cold turkey.
Yeah, I'm seriously fighting hitting the "checkout" button on a soda stream. My completely sorta-specious reasoning is that since I'm working from home I'm drinking way more fizzywater.
Actually, that's my totally serious reasoning. The specious reasoning is "that makes it almost kinda like a business expense! Pay no attention to the bank balance behind the curtain!!"
I'm working from home again today. And I'm getting hungry again. I think roasted red potatoes are in my future.
Chicagoistas, I totes just bought today's LivingSocial deal for Viceroy of India, so we should go eat there sometime soon.
Damn, it's the acid burn that I like. Hm, I wonder if there's a good diet ginger ale I can look into.
The clementines I just bought went bad really quickly. And they were small and not very tasty. This will be my excuse, I think, for venturing into a Fresh and Easy.
Diet Vernor's, if you can find it around you, Connie. Otherwise, I think the brand name is Reed's, Dr. Reed's? Something like that. Very bitey. Don't know if they do it in diet, though.
Random androgyny.
I posted that on FB. Man, he is beautiful.
