They sell Sodastreams at my local Hy-Vee...

I am not tempted, because I am a water or decaf iced tea drinker, for the most part.

OH MY GOD. I am peeing ALL THE PEE! Every 10 mins, yo, and I have been sipping steadily, but nothing that should necessitate this Niagara of micturition!

ETA; "sipping steadily" at water and hot tea. Nothing...else.

Teppy, do you have a Trader Joe's nrby (I should clearly already know this from history, but I skim like a skimmer)? If so, grab some bags of different nuts- super hi protein, easiest snack in the world. Almonds, cashews, pistachio nut meats (hehehe, nut meats) and probably plenty more that I don't like as much available raw, roasted, salted or no, and in a wide array of flavors if he's into that. My sanity at work has been saved by the raw almonds more times than I can count. So darned satisfying (those nuts.) OMG, I cannot stop laughing at my own juvenile brain every time i think or type "nuts"

OH MY GOD. I am peeing ALL THE PEE!

You were on an IV, right?

hehehe, nut meats

I am 12 myself. I giggled.

If you want to eat flayed beloved cartoon characters, I think you've earned it. I loathe dealing with finding new bras.

This is what I believe.

And it had been years since I'd done it, so of course I didn't wear the same size as the (stretched out, completely worn) current bras I have, so I had to have a mini-meltdown in the fitting room. But I steeled myself, went out there, brought another batch of another size back and handed them to the (male, elderly) fitting room attendant again. And this time half of them fit. So go me.

I ended up going to six stores, but they were all in one strip mall, so even though I was hoping to take, like, forty-five minutes and it it took three hours, I'm still calling it pretty damn good.

Right by my office. I go once a week, like clockwork (today, as a matter of fact). They have great nuts at really good prices.

Liese,

I hope you don't go through my bra stage. The fitting - which is agony alone - and the next stage is week 2 after wearing them: "the noisy bra" stage.

OH MY GOD. I am peeing ALL THE PEE! Every 10 mins, yo, and I have been sipping steadily, but nothing that should necessitate this Niagara of micturition!

Strix will next be seen starring in the upcoming remake of A River Runs Through It.

Ha, wait, what is "noisy bra" stage?

I wish I could tape it and play it, but my bra is NOISY. creaky. just about every movement, I hear my bra. It's embarrassing.
