Have you been drinking the baking soda Ben? I find mixing it with lemon flavored ice tea works pretty well. I have a teaspoon 3X daily.

So your gonna get hitched up?
It'll happen. I met the right gal. When I want to buy beer or liquor (and I already have some in the house) I just move that 10-25 bucks that I was going to spend to my savings account. Same if I go to the bar. Two things were realized- probably shouldn't drink so much anyway and beers add up fast.

If they were less expensive than my Subaru, I'd have bought one instead. However, I'd be motivated to not drive it at all until the first snowflakes started to fall. At least the Suby is somewhat enjoyable in the summer, too.
No, don't get me wrong. The Element is a great vehicle. It's just ugly as sin. I love the interior (though the cloth is a bit stiff) and the handling is superb for how tall it is. I really felt like I was driving a sedan. I love the car, but the hideousness of it is what keeps me from owning one.

2-3 teaspoons of baking soda/day helps raise your body's pH level. A neutral to high pH level is required for the body to work properly. Everything from basic immune system function to the cellular life cycle requires the proper pH level. The body doesn't need all of the drugs and crap that Dr's want to pump into you. The large majority of health issues arise solely from pour diet. Pour diet leads to a low pH and lots of other things.

I haven't read that anywhere yet. I'll check into it. Did he give you a reason or? I don't trust most Dr's since they are owned by big pharma.

EDIT

Did some reading, apparently it can cause high blood pressure. I check my blood pressure AND pH, so I don't see an issue. One should try to achieve a balance. The only way to achieve the balance is to check your own pH daily.

Morning fellas.

I remember something about body builders using baking soda for some reason or other. Either way, I recall the result not being desirable so the info is filed away somewhere in the back of my brain.

In lighter news, the Corolla is sold! A hipster who HAD to have it bought it for $800! I almost broke even after the recent maintenance.

Whatever, the first thing I thought when I saw it was, "AWESOME"! If I was in the market, and considering aesthetics alone, I'd buy that over anything else out there in the same category.

I wish! All proceeds will be put towards the Suby to keep from being upside down. I'd like to own that car asap.

Sometimes I wonder why it was purchased in the first place, but it is a super comfortable car and while not particularly fast, it does stick to the road very, very well. Its also the newest car I have ever owned in relation to when it was manufactured. And safe. I no longer have one airbag between three vehicles. Still, all but one of them are in one car.

Nah, I'd just win the powerball 3 or 4 times. Sporting bets are lame. There's a paper trail there.

Yesterday at work I was told to park a red car that had a really short booty. I thought at first It was another boring crossfire and looked at it with a lot of dread. Luckily my reading skills took over and I saw a 370z tramp stamp.
I calmly sat down inside, started her up....then almost failed the takeoff. The clutch pedal has an amazingly high engagement point, but I got used to it after about 30 seconds. Really nice car.
