Interesting combo. Does the same apply if I substitute Diet Pepsi for the SlimFast?

I found Cherry Coke Zero this afternoon. It is chilling in the fridge over night. I am really hoping that it is good.

A girl on AI is singing a Mulan song right now.

Think she's hoping for some Jennifer Hudson mojo?

Diet chery vanilla coke is the way to go. It mixes nicely with Jack. The new Pepsi Jazz (similar product) not as good.

LOL! I would rather be a happy druggie than a committed lunatic.

Gee Lisa why don't you add that to your signature.

 

[O'BWV]

I probably have you both beat. I had my last one in '93, but I was 35 yrs old when I had him!

Hey Stacey I'm right there with you Pal! Had my last baby in '93 and I was 32 years old!

I can't drink that anymore after hearing what is in it and how it can affect your body. It didn't help me lose weight anyway.

What does slim fast do to your body?

 

[lbgraves]

UGH!!! 35 pages tonight?!?!? That's what I get for having a life today.

OH MY! It has taken me 3 1/2 hours to get to my first posts today!!

 

[lbgraves]

Someone figured it out - it's DiaLady!

Nope. Judy blabbed it when she showed back up this morning. Still luv ya Judy!

 

[sk8ingmom]

Lisa just lapped herself!

Okay I literally dozed off here on my laptop! That means I have to go to bed. I work for elderly work-aholics and they're killing me. My one boss turned 93 today. God Bless Him, but for crying out loud, take your millions and freakin' retire already! If I am working past 65, please kill me, stab my in the heart, decapitate me, whatever, just KILL ME!

Good Night Friends!

Now that It took me 1/2 the night to catch up I need to get some sleep. Jimmies no it's always been sprinkles for me.


Glad to see you posting again Judy.



Lisa: I didn't realize you had a loss in your family. I am sorry.

But then what should we do with your body?

Not by much, not by much.

Ahhhh regional slang.......... Soda = East Coast

Pop = MidWest

RC = South

Mark

"Soft drink" commonly refers to cold, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverages in the United States. Carbonated beverages are regionally known as:

"Coke", in most of the South, including New Mexico and much of eastern and southern Oklahoma. Some older generations of Southerners refer to soft drinks as "dope".

"Pop" in most of the upper Midwest and into the western part of the Northeast, including such cities as Cleveland, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Erie, Pennsylvania and Buffalo, NY; west up to and including the Pacific Northwest; and as far south as the northern half of Oklahoma. The majority of the state of Michigan (including the Upper Peninsula), especially the Metro Detroit area specifically call soft drinks "Pop" (Faygo, a brand of soft drink made in Detroit is an example of this). In the lower Midwest, such as southern Illinois, southern Indiana, and the Cincinnati, Ohio area, "soft drink" predominates (which is why the term is used in Kroger stores, which is Cincinnati-based). The state of Colorado also uses the term "pop."

"Soda" in the Northeast, the Southwest (California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas), Hawaii, and parts of South Florida (near Miami), and parts of the Midwest (around St. Louis and parts of Wisconsin, especially in the East, and around Milwaukee).

"Tonic" is used all over eastern New England although the usage is becoming archaic.

"Soda pop" is used by some speakers especially in the mountain west.
"Drink", "cold drink", and "soda" are locally common in southern Virginia and the Carolinas, spreading from there as far as Louisiana.

"Cold drink" is the phrase of choice in New Orleans, Louisiana.

At many restaurants in the U.S., one finds that the products of only a single major beverage producer, such as The Coca-Cola Company or PepsiCo, are available. While patrons requesting a "coke" may be truly indifferent as to which cola brand they receive, the careful server will confirm intent with a question like "Is Pepsi ok?" Similarly, 7 Up or Sprite may indicate whichever clear, carbonated, citrus-flavoured drink happens to be at hand. The generic uses of these brand names does not affect the local usage of the words "pop" or "soda", to mean any carbonated beverage.

My mom's husband was admitted to the hospital Monday for some prostate problems. They did surgery on him today and my mom just called to say that he is currently on a ventilator. They have called in a pulmonary specialist and she is waiting for some news. Please say a few prayers for them.

Will say a prayer for them.
