    I prefer Summers Eve with a twist of lime. It will put some hair on your chest.

    How is it best, with shaved ice or room temperature? Maybe use a punch bowl when the neighbors drop by.

    Well the bosses pulled me off the load when it became clear I wasn't getting loaded until later this afternoon and id subsequently be stuck under the load for delivery in Toledo until Monday. Not that I was pumped to go to Ohio anyways, lol.

    From what I found out, the average wait time at Pepsi has been 24 hours. Almost everyone was getting $1000 detention payments.

    Absolutley correct about the cinnamon supplement. I had to have the head of my pancreas removed, along with most of the stomach, the duodenum, gall bladder, bile ducts, and part of the small intestine (they call it the "Whipple procedure") because of a tumor that thankfully turned out to be benign. Part of what the pancreas does is regulate insulin. My doctor told me that I would probably either have to take insulin shots or at the very least medicine like metformin or janumet or something similar. I started out with insulin shots. I lost a lot of weight, and they put me on janumet. Eventually, he switched me off of the janumet and instructed me to take cinnamon supplements twice a day. For two years now, my blood sugar levels are in the normal to low-normal range because of the cinnamon supplements.

    Diabetes and blood sugar problems are common problems in this business. I'm here to tell you that cinnamon works to help regulate it. It might mean the difference for a medical card for some folks.

    BTW- I always used coca cola to take acid off of tractor batteries. Pepsi won't work, but whatever acid they put in coca cola will clean off battery terminals. I drink the hell out of coke zero too. Kind of a scary thought

    I'm reloading at Coke in Dallas and was in a dock within a half hour of checking in. Are you listening Pepsi?. Part of the problem is Pepsi in Wichita only ships 9am-7pm. Seriously, you need to ship on more than one shift if you ship that much product.
     
    mje Thanks this.
