Drinking A Copious Amount of Iced Tea...

I disagree about Splenda. It tastes exactly like real sugar. I use it in all my baking and no one can tell the difference.

I actually *only* use Splenda... but - the husband comes from a long line of diabetics, so trying to put that off for as long as possible/avoid it entirely.

I don't miss real sugar at all. Eventually, you no longer notice the after taste in anything (tea, soda, etc...). Now, real sugar tastes strange to me (the thought of "regular" soda makes me cringe - yuck!).

I am diabetic and so um...don't get much choice, but am very used to things like splenda and sweetner now.

splenda is actually pretty good, most people I know don't even realize it when they are using it instead of sugar

I love the new Diet Coke with Splenda. I drink Diet Coke only because it has no sugar but I've never really liked the taste. Diet Coke with Splenda tastes almost, but not quite, the same as regular Coke and that makes me happy.

Maybe you strange people like it, but I still despise the stuff.

Iced tea is the goodness.

Yup! A friend of mine made some great iced tea. I had two glasses of it, the second with the pot roast and rice he cooked before we went to Spartanburg, SC for the Enterprise finale party there...

So is being well groomed. Do something about that.

I can take a bit of sloveness over stinking like a pigsty. Or like some customer we have who smells like he bathed in a whole bottle of baby powder...

The same friend I mentioned who made the iced tea is the only person I've heard who's allergic to Splenda. Even getting around the "dust" it puts off messes with him.
