If everyone was drinking 12 cans of soda every day there would be about 20 times more shelf space for the stuff. Neither my wife or I have had one in the last two weeks. |

I never said that it was good for me. Nor did I ever wonder why I have health problems. All of the problems I have can be tacked back to both sides of the family. My ancestors had them.

You said you could quote me. Please quote where I said this? Again, you are making things up. And to Janet, I never ever said that this was a part of managing diabetes, healthy or otherwise. Ya'll must not get out much because your Pinocchio noses would be so long by now you couldn't sit in your vehicles without turning sideways and opening the window.

So it seems. I think some also possibly take pity on her, or somehow all the 'contradictions' (I'm being generous there) and bizarre things she says do not bother them somehow. Personally, I think she should be confronted and challenged with much of what she says here. Just being nice to her and ignoring her nonsense seems to me to be somewhat irresponsible and isn't actually being nice to her at all - it does her no favours to say nothing critical, given the nature of what she says.

It seems to work well here, the South Australia recycling refund scheme supports charities and community groups, with SA Scouts alone bringing in more than $9 million a year by collecting bottles and cans (which is pretty good given such a small population). Their recycling rate is about double compared to other states who don't have this scheme. It also provides real jobs with real wages as well. |

I did it for you, Dave: July 31st, 2014: " Daughter has been drinking the energy drinks but she's only allowed to have a couple of ounces at a time. Her friend drank a whole one and it landed her in the hospital. My friend's son did the same at about the same age and he too wound up in the hospital." So *sorry*, you did say it is only a couple of ounces. That's a couple of ounces too many if a few more ounces landed two others in the hospital. You're a real whack job. Jill |

You seem to imply it's all just bad luck and had nothing to do with your own choices. >But oh hey!

My parents didn't drink soda and they lived to comparable ages. They also didn't have a myriad of health problems. Drinking 12 sodas a day is just plain stupid. Telling yourself it is okay because it's "diet" is also stupid. Jill |

Not the soda pop, which she does manage to haul in the house after getting BOGO and sales deals. But many other things including cases of popcorn and who knows what else. She said upthread she gets lots of cardboard boxes. But she has problems flattening boxes, too! Guess what? Take the tape off, unfold them, they flatten right out. They'll fit in most garbage bins. If you have to recycle them they'll keep stacked neatly until time for pickup. But gee, there would't be any room for such drama if she did things like other people do. Jill |

What do flip flops have to do with a *manicure*? Do you walk on your hands? I erred on the side of caution thinking you meant you'd had your toenails polished, aka pedicure. Excuse me. I don't particularly like flip flops but I do own a pair. I wear them outside when I'm washing the windows or refilling the hummingbird feeder. I suppose I could wear them to step on cans except I don't buy a ton of canned food or soda pop like you do. Jill |

OMG, that's a brilliant idea. I'm serious. If half of what Julie says is true, it'd make one hell of a show (for those into such shows). Now there's an golden opportunity for the Boves. An episode on the 'cat-stealing racoon' alone would be awesome. |

I don't know how much is in those cans of crap because I don't buy that junk any more than I consume 12 cans of soda a day and think it's the same as drinking water. "Daughter has been drinking the energy drinks but she's only allowed to have a couple of ounces at a time. Her friend drank a whole one and it landed her in the hospital. My friend's son did the same at about the same age and he too wound up in the hospital." It's not my problem you can't remember what you wrote. Have another jolt of coffee while you sit there in front of the computer and collect disability. Jill |
