NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

Not to mention, this story did not quite make sense. It was as if to say that soda is the number 1 cause of obesity in the U.S. so ban the size. What's next, the "All You Can Eat" buffet? A double or triple deluxe anything?

I guess we can look forward to the Mini Soda everything and Nouveau Cuisine Carryout...

I've actually started making my own homemade syrups. They have no acid besides what's in the fruit I'm boiling, and it doesn't seem to be making my ulcer(s) worst. Decentralization can be an amazing thing. There isn't a Peach-Mint soda on the market, but I've made my own, and it tasted pretty awesome; I called it Chillwave Soda.

I have to admire people who have the time to be creative and can step away from mainstream Supply and Demand and do their own thing. Unfortunately, I have no such luxury, as much as I would love it, and am a slight bit of a slave to the economy at this time. In a few years, I plan to be right where I need to be financially and time wise...so yes for someone like me living off a grab and run lifestyle, sadly, these impending limits are rather devastating I hate to say...spend more to buy less or have it cut out completely.

But, this definitely has got me thinking that I need to get out of the consumer rat race. I've done it before I'm sure I can to it again. :hrhr:

out of curiosity, why not just make sweet tea?

To be honest, I was actually going for one of the energy drinks when this guy bogarted me at the shelving display and was making such a spectacle of himself that I weighed the odds of just how important it was for me to get another flavor or to just go with what was in my hand...so I went with what was in my hand and figured I'd try a different flavor at another time...

I'd rather save my calories and sugar enjoyment for chocolates and ice cream. But, I do like some carbonation, so I either drink plain soda water or I add a packet of kool-aid to soda water, then sweeten with Stevia. But, they have to be added slowly since it causes a mentos-like reaction. haha

goes with that rat race part of the issue, 3 secons to squirt some liquid into some water as oppose to say 5 minutes to make some tea (or longer). Not that I'm encouraging this kind of thinking. And yes I to drink them MiO things.

Here in the middle east they are really taking up the slack in the soda drinking market...then again health isn't a craze here and, for reasons I can't understand, they don't force their own ideals or values on you here when it comes to this kinda thing. Insha'Allah mentality I guess. For my 2 cents I can say that banning this stuff is not the right answer...I'm gonna die with a smile on my face and that means that a Big Gulp full of Coca Cola is gonna be within arms reach of my corpse.

      ~~~~~ We received a letter about that a bit ago.  I know Corewell Health was included in the cyber attach as they were transitioning over from Beaumont Heath.

      Excellent idea, since between your experience and Trene and Tron's ordeal they clearly aren't doing great things.   Also didn't Ascension just have a huge breach of their medical records because their cybersecurity department sucked?

      ~~~~~ Yeah, a few years ago, Trene @Trene4000 had a seizure during an eye exam and the staff had to call an ambulance due to protocol even though she was just about to come out of it.  The ambulance crew arrived and caused her to relapse into another seizure and I ended up kicking everyone out of the room except for the one guy who seemed to have the most sense.  They stabilized her and then rushed to Ascension Macomb - Oakland Hospital, Warren Campus.   I followed shortly and no one would confirm if she was there or not.  I pointed out the ambulance she had just arrived in and they said I couldn't be in the ambulance entrance area.  So I went over to the other entrance and walked back over to the ambulance receiving area and this time they were able to speak to me because I was now on the correct side of the receptionist desk.     They told me to take a seat and they would let me in after they confirmed if an ambulance arrived with her in it.  Fortunately for me, the janitor watched everything that happened and when the lady left the desk 15 minutes later, he opened the door and let me in, told me where to go and said they always do that because they don't want to be bothered.   I did find her, already hooked up in an observation room and I stayed with her for over an hour.  Then I stated I was going to go to the cafeteria to grab some food and get her something for when they release her in 45 minutes (as we were told).  She was awake and aware and said ok.  However, by the time I got back 25 minutes later, she was zoned and moving in slow motion.  Her eyes kept rolling up into her head.   I flagged down a doctor and asked what happened to her because she was just fine.  Turns out they gave her some medication that they shouldn't have (because they didn't check her medical history) and she ended up having an allergic reaction, but whoever administered it didn't stay around long enough to "observe" her in the observation room.  I told them that she had severe reactions to certain things and they ended up giving her a counter medication and we then had to wait another 90 minutes for it to safely get out of her system.  Then she was discharged 25 minutes later.   I wanted to sue everyone who was involved in her "care".  I had told them that I was her legal guardian and that I MUST be informed of any medical treatment she received and no one spoke to me about anything, so they waited until I left the room and took matters into their own hands.  The fact that they were informed and didn't care is what still bothers me to this day so I panic whenever one of her doctors suggest an Ascension hospital for any of her procedures. 😬
