You're not special. Repeat "I, txtqueen, am not special" over and over until you finally believe it. Quit being a wuss. Just quit.

12 cans of soda is outrageous. No wonder you're a spax attack. No wonder you have anxiety problems. No wonder you have irritable bowel.

I guarantee if you stopped drinking caffeine and carbonated drinks almost all of your IBS and anxiety symptoms would disappear.
No I just need lots and lots of advil.
I think either way I am going to kill my liver though. LOL

Fair enough. I never used to eat it much, but I like it now. Just thought it might help those trying to wean of caffeine. But it's ok, you don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

I know it seems funny now, but it's really not. Honestly, what's the point in drinking that much soda? It's not like you really get off on it. You are just setting yourself up for health problems for no real reason.

You shouldn't just cut it out cold turkey, that's why you feel like poo. But you can and should cut back. Meanwhile, have something high in calcium, because all of that sugar and caffeine is causing you to lose calcium through your pee and your bones are getting weaker by the hour. The phosphorus in cola accelerates it even more. So stop it.

BTW, I'm not just haranguing you, I'm going to get on MrFR when he gets home. I'm an equal opportunity nagger.

And I know what I -should- do just hard to do it.

Just back from "10% off for seniors day" at the local grocery store. Can't remember the last time I heard that much Dean Martin and Big Band. Think the oldest song on Muzak was from the 60's.

Coming from experience, being addicted to caffeine is a smaller form of being an alcoholic. A recovering alcoholic cannot take a drink again. A person who is recovering from being addicted to soda cannot have another soda again. This is why my husband knows we cannot have soda in the house at least for now. Once it gets to the point where I can deny a soda when it's around, he can have some in the house if he wants. That amount of soda is exceedingly bad for you. You need to quit and not ever drink a soda again.

We played Big Band music at our wedding reception. Well, our music was quite eclectic actually. We had Big Band, Queen, Beach Boys, and some other 60's stuff. I wanted the Dr. Quinn theme song, but that couldn't be found.

On the news, they were showing footage of a shooting at a mall in Arizona.

They kept referring to the shooter as a fugative. BUT he didn't escape. The prison let him out early by accident.

How can he be technically called a fugative when the prison let him out? arizona-inmate-accidentally-released

Arizona authorities denying fault in freeing of inmate
Because they asked him to come back and he didn't?

This is some distance south of me, (like a three hour drive) but I know the mall. One of my favorites. If they shoot up the Hawaiian BBQ place in the food court I am going to be royally ticked.
