I checked the Fairway today where I had gotten the original jar of the
sugar-free fiber Apricot jam and found thae only other flavor they had was
concord Grape, fine for kids with PB&J, but not to my taste. I don'tknow
if they will be putting out any more flavos or if the store will be
carrying any more.

as for the sucralose, Todd, I have been using it since it came out adn
like it. I am not a big user as I do not sweeten my coffee or tea or use
sweetener regularly. I am alsoan old bird. I might worry were I 10 years
old about these things, but at my age I am not worried. anyway, if it was
a failed insecticide, I guess it was not effective in killing anyting so
why worry?

I cannot live my life in total fear of all kinds of things as so many do.
I watchmy bgs adn A1cs, I take meds, Metformin and a small aunt of
glimperide anddon't worry that it will strike me dead. I don't use items
labelled "antibacterial" because I woudl like to preserve things for mfy
and your grandchildren. I wish they had not banned cyclamates as they
tasted very good adn they still have a lovely brown sugar substitute made
with them available in Canada that someone once sent me some of.
sometimes I wonder aboaut all the worries we add to our lives adn how much
these sories, themselves can shorten our lives adn the pleasure we have in
living. Aside form cats and some kind of hay fever pollens I don't seem
to be allergic or intolerant or whatever to much so don't worry there. I
take my diabetes seriously and have for the 30 years I have known I have
it, as that strikes me as sensible, as I like y remaining visiln, my legs,
my kidneys, etc adn would like to keep them workign for a long time. I am
punctillious bout seeign my eye doctor for AWMD treatments , as again, I
like havign my sight, but I just can't get excited about ll the scares
that keep coming along. I wouldn't walk into a radioactive area, have
unpprotected sex , wantder around the south side of Chicago, although for
reasons of my own, I love the city, but I refuse to hie from everything
adn have lived through some pretty difficult times in NYC my beloved home
city, but do not feal that everyone has a gun as I find to be the case in
some other parts of the country.

Well, now I have said all that inreply to Todd, who is a fine guy, but
kind of up-tight:-) Todd,keep on workign on your cooking and lettign us
know the results
