Okay, well I'm going to do a whole lot of catching up in one post. Prof. Crash, I am glad your mom is doing better and I'm sorry I missed the initial crisis. I never know what to say when people are hurting, but you were definitely in my thoughts.
Astra: Welcome back. No idea what happened, but as you say, it's in the past. We're glad you decided to come back here.
The aspartame/diet soda debate will rage on (ad infinitum, I suspect), but Prof. Crash is right, it makes some of us grumpy, LOL. Which is why KK is "voicing" her protests over my continued partaking of diet dr pepper in Dog and Cat. Actually my partaking thereof has dropped considerably since I had that tummy virus a week ago - and as of this posting, I have no idea what it's going to be replaced with should that become necessary.
Iced tea seems to so far be the one thing that I'm enjoying the most - but I'm finally nearly out of the black tea samples I had, so I'm using family sized tea bags. My Philistinian taste buds don't seem to be able to tell the difference, though I found I really, really enjoyed the Adagio raspberry black tea iced (couldn't stand it hot). The disadvantage to iced tea over diet dr pepper is that while I end up drinking more of it (and therefore keeping myself better hydrated), I can't drink it room temperature, (I can with soda), so we're going through a TON of ice. And I don't have an ice maker. It also takes a little more forethought than opening a bottle of soda.
