Alas, the only caffeine free coke around here is of the Diet Coke variety. I hear there's caffeine-free Coke Zero in France, but that doesn't do me much good.

So I'll stick with the sugar-free lemonade (3% reconstituted lemon juice!) for now.

Absolutely!

Glad to hear you're not pining. There's lots more good fish in the sea!

There's caffeine-free coke zero in Belgium as well! Although I've given up on banning caffeine from my life long ago I think I'll go have another coffee!

Here's quick quizz question for you coke drinkers;
What color would Coca-Cola be if there were no food colorings added?

I've never understood why when someone breaks up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, someone always suggests they date fish!

On the other hand, while diving I've seen some pretty cute cuddlefish...

Always give in to temptation. The chance may not come around a second time!

I'm about to sit down with a glass of rum!

Odd Caffeine Free coke/Pepsi/etc is easy to come by around here. Stocked by all the major food stores, and well stores that sell soda....

Water.

I've known him for a while but didn't see him much until he helped me redecorate my study (he's an interior designer) and we spend a lot of time together. We were both on holiday last week as well, so than we spend even more time talking Let's hope this relationship lasts a litte longer

Oh yeah. In my cup: cappuccino

Hi Iri, I am fine thank you, although sad about all those inconvenienced by these "natural" disaster. Natural in the sense that is to be expected that greed and incompetence ally in not taking good care of the territory.

Hey. Really good news. A little longer? Why should you care? The force is with you obviously. A big hug.

Sorry, don't mean to interrupt your rendezvous with Iri, but is there any kind of a small hug?

Thanks I'm glad you're OK!

Of course there is! A big hug is when you squeeze the other person thightly, a small hug is over very quickly and you just hold the other person lightly

Bad news followed by good news, the way it should be.

Enjoy where you are today!

Water and skim milk. Trying to be better about hydration and calcium intake. And Skim Milk goes really well with homemade multi grain bread and peanut butter. Part of my balanced breakfast. (winks)

Butt sticking out to make it even less personal is optional .

I suspect it would have no colour at all. I think all the colour comes from the 'caramel' colouring.

Nope! It's green! For some reason that I don't understand, without its caramel food coloring, it's green. That was the color of it when its inventor, a pharmacist, first began to sell the stuff! People objected to its color and the formula was adjusted to make it more appealing to the eye!

Well, maybe, but the people at Snopes disagree with you:

Since I live in the birthplace of Coca-Cola I'd heard this one before, but the Coke people say it's not true. Who knows?
