Every store that I ever worked at had one. Granted, we didn't have one in the golf Pro shop but the commissary had one! Perhaps a very small store wouldn't have one. But places like Target, K Mart, Walmart, groceries stores, they all have them. |

I tried one at the dance studio because they were out of plain water and had no Diet Coke. Only the Kirkland diet soda. I needed it to take a pill. I wound up finishing it but it probably took me 3 hours. I just didn't care for it. I did put in for a free case of the stuff at My Coke Rewards only because they were offering them for a small amount of points. Not likely that husband or daughter will drink them but I will try. |

And the bins were provided by the trash pickup people, not the apartment complex. I did have a strange situation occur when I rented a dumpster in the process of moving here. I had been living in the apartment nearly 12 years and yes, I'm a bit of a pack rat. I bagged up clothes and boxed books for donating. I curbcycled some items. But some stuff I simply needed to throw away. Into the dumpster it went. I caught my neighbor (whom I'd never met) digging things out of it! He was literally dumpster diving. The guy even asked if he could come in and see if there was anything he wanted! Uh, NO. John and I still chuckle over this guy pulling things out of the dumpster as if he'd struck gold. What a moron.

Don't ask me why. No one ever came to the door after dark, but the porch light needed to be on for some mysterious reason. :) I don't know why the majority of Dataw residents were anti-recycling. I certainly wasn't against it. No skin off my nose to separate plastic, glass, cans and paper. But they refused so the only available trash pickup service caved. I'm still not saving things and waiting to drive to the dump. When Persia was alive there was always used cat litter to dispose of. I have a neighbor who keeps bags of litterbox waste in her garage until she makes the trip to the dump. I don't want to think about what that must smell like. Vegetable peels, things like that, go down the disposal. I'm not allowed to have a compost bin. I'm sure it works fine for folks who have gardens. Jill |

In article >, says...
> > Got a cite that colas stop B vitamins and potassium? http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/84/4/936.full "there are several reasons to hypothesize that carbonated soft drinks, and colas in particular, may be associated with lower BMD. Caffeine is an ingredient in most colas and has been identified as a risk factor for osteoporosis (8-10). Furthermore, colas contain phosphoric acid, which was shown to interfere with calcium absorption and to contribute to imbalances that lead to additional loss of calcium (11). It has also been suggested that the high fructose corn syrup used to sweeten carbonated beverages may negatively affect bone (12). " http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives...soda-depletes- calcium-and-may-increase-heart-attack-risk.html Many women drink over 20 diet sodas per week.4 These researchers discovered that parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations rise strongly following diet soda consumption. PTH functions to increase blood calcium concentrations by stimulating bone breakdown, and as a result release calcium from bone....Although caffeine is known to increase calcium excretion and promote bone loss,6 caffeine is likely not the only bone-harming ingredient in sodas. A 2006 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found consistent associations between low bone mineral density and caffeinated and non-caffeinated cola (both regular and diet), but not other carbonated beverages.7 One major difference between the two is the phosphoric acid in colas, absent from most other carbonated beverages. In the Western diet, phosphorus is commonly consumed in excess ? at about 3 times the recommended levels, whereas dietary calcium often low. Although phosphorus is an important component of bone mineral, a high dietary ratio of phosphorus to calcium can increase parathyroid hormone secretion, which is known to increase bone breakdown. Studies in which women were given increasing quantities of dietary phosphorus found increases in markers of bone breakdown and decreases in markers of bone formation.8,9 Therefore it is likely that the phosphorus content of colas triggers calcium loss.There is nothing healthy about diet soda. It is simply water with artificial sweeteners and other chemical additives, such as phosphoric acid." http://www.explorevitamins.co.uk/eff...ne-on-vitamin- absorption.html Caffeine is also thought to inhibit the absorption of iron and some of the A and B vitamins.Iron is an essential part of the diet and needed for red blood cell production and function, for the muscles and as part of the immune system."
