Madam TBird, no wonder I liked sassyfrass, because I love Root Beer. I didn't know it was one of the ingredients. mrs.zane, I could just see my spouse and I making moonshine or wine. We'd be reported to the police and arrested for sure..hehe. Actually, we're not drinkers, however, years ago I had the flu and was told about a homemade remedy. Boil Southern Comfort, mixed with honey and lemon then drink a small amount, but rather than boil it, I elected to warm it a bit, then I drank the whole fifth of Southern Comfort. Talk about rubber knees, I couldn't walk, or talk...hehe. In fact, I passed out and was carried to bed. Since I had fever, several quilts were placed on me, which broke my fever. Well, to make a long story short, I wokeup free from flu, but I had one heck of a headache and one mean hangover..lol. I awoke vomiting and so sick all day long. I don't know which was worse, the flu, or hangover...hehe.

Texan says he use to drink Dr. Pepper and lemon heated, which was very good! I like juicing carrots, ginger root, celery, and one apple in it. Though this is off the subject of coke, it's great for your health. Since we're singers, and get laryngitis, we'd juice a whole pineapple, pealing and all, and add alot of fresh ginger root, then sip on that during the day. By the time we'd perform, our laryngitis was cured. I love juicing, and we're fixing to start doing it again. Also, taking barley green is great in addition to juicing. We never felt better back when we use to juice. I keep asking myself, why we stopped! Anyway, we're going to as soon as we can buy the ingredients, then I'll let you all know how I feel..lol. Ta ta.

Boo jstkdn..hehe. I promise you I want cast any spells on ya. No really, the truth is I'm very fearful of stuff like that; but, I've oftn wished just once I could magically make all our problems vanish, with one snap of my finger or as "Bewitched" twitch of my nose..hehe. I don't really think anyone can do this, or really tell fortunes. If they could they'd be rich and win the lotteries. I know I'd be rich & problem free...lol. When we juiced my skin was smoother, hair more shinny, & this is the truth, my eye-sight improved. Hey, if juicing does wonders for me, I'll let you know, but it's going to take a lot of carrots...hehe.

To improve my eye sight....I think a whole truck of carrots will not be enough. :) Without contacts or glasses, I can only see colors.

i always called it coke; regardless of whether it's coca-cola or some other beverage.
like, "hey, hand me a coke."

May-23-2005 05:59
