@literature.cafeThe old Coke Zero was amazing! It tasted closer to regular Coke without the extra sweetness that sugared colas have (regular colas taste like pancake syrup to me.) I was disappointed a few years ago when they tweaked the flavor. I think they sweetened it a little more to bring it closer to Pepsi's level of sweetness, which I don't particularly care for. After a year of not tasting the old formula of Coke Zero, the new one is ok. So really it's probably for the best since I drink less of it now lol (good goin Coke lol.)
Thank God the judicial system is perfect, free from prejudice, and never anything but unquestionably fair!
Cook county tried it in Illinois a few years back, and it really made no sense.
It didn't apply to juices (even though juices are loaded with sugar) and it taxed sugar free sodas the same as their sugar sweetened versions. They charged 1 cent per ounce for the tax. It was repealed 4 months after initiating it.
This is actually closest to the best thing lol.
Our bodies are meant to move, not sit statically even with "perfect" posture. By fidgeting, slouching, sitting tall, leaning, and all kinds of variations we're responding to feedback from our bodies. Keep listening and keep moving!
That room has a very specific odor that I can't quite describe, but I trust you know it as well.
Depends on the pizza and how much I love myself at that moment.
Acceptable pizza and I'm not in the mood to care, eat it cold.
Quality pizza and I want to show some respect for the pizza and myself, it's the above or air fryer, or at minimum a few minutes in the toaster oven.
The nearest bakery is almost a 30 minute walk. To live closer I'd need to triple my income to afford a home.
Yes, I live far from the office (which is at a hospital) but I'm technically a work from home position because they give me a laptop and phone and I'm only required to come in every couple months. I work with hospice patients in their homes, so I have to drive to their houses with a trunk full of supplies that can't be reasonably packed into a single bag for other types of alternative travel. Plus, living in a Chicago suburb means going to work in sub zero to single digit weather, sometimes severe storms, and life stressing heat. A car and travel is mandatory for my job.
It would be beautiful if I could access a bakery and be out in 5 minutes, but it's not an option. So I live the apparent tragedy of less than ideal sandwiches lol .
