| I was in the military in a 24/7 office, with constantly changing shift schedules. I learned long ago to accept the change & go with the flow. Mox nix, not a big deal. Changes can always occur for various reasons. Learn to accept that & don't worry. |

Same with me! I miss so many opportunities by thinking of it after everyone has changed the subject!
Sheesh. And if I do spout off with that comeback, it goes over like a lead balloon! |

| I agree with AspE! Just drink it. Try not to add sugar to it. If you do need a sweetener, raw honey is probably the best. |

| that is pretty good work Guitarman :wtg: would that such would work for me, but alas it doesn't. I do core exercises daily [mainly for my recovering back] and walk vigorously up and down the hills where I live, and mind my diet, but so far I seem barely able to keep BMI 25, especially in wintertime... |

| So far today I have shovelled out the driveway... again. And cleaned off the car. This is way too early in preparation to drive to the park & snowshoe for 5 or 6 kilometres. I was waist deep in drifts yesterday, so I'll snowshoe today! |

| When I win the lottery, I'll be in a home similar to these. I just hope I win when I can move into a home like these. I'd prefer single floor plan, with maybe a lookout. Lots of land around it, so I don't hear the neighbours. Although some of the homes highlighted here you don't even see a neighbour! |

| I've never ever liked olives either. I went so far as buying a bottle of black ones, thinking they must be better, but they were just as bad! Oysters on the half-shell & the black shelled things. Ugh, hate them with a vengeance. Please don't remind me of what the black-shelled things are called.... |
