One week sans diet sweeteners!

So, how are you all doing sans Equal and the other culprits? I mentioned going without such stuff for two weeks, and my specialist thought it was a great idea. She believes that the stuff increases hunger pains. I've found that a square of diet cinnamon gum doesn't trigger the cravings like a piece of diet candy can. But otherwise, I'm doing without!

And in other surreal news --

Somehow I was subscribed to a women's caucus list serve for the Log Cabin Republicans.

Ah, no. I fully support equal treatment for gays in this country, and I'm even a conservative in some areas, like a BALANCED BUDGET. (Sorry -- a button, you know.) But I think the current Republican party is nuts, and the log cabin people are among the craziest. I mean -- they keep donating money to a group that not only doesn't support them, it actively discriminates against them.

I think that word does not mean what you think it means, or something to that effect....
