Yep, when I drink green tea instead of eating junk foods, or if I drink it while I'm exercising,

POLL: Drink of choice. What is it that you drink the most daily?
 
Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
Also, what does it taste like?
Is there something comparable to the taste? I also wondered about what it is. I thought it was a super dose of caffeine.
good taste, nan!

I do think it is in bad taste to ask for money, but
if you say to make donations to a favorite charity seems okay. I saw an article some place recently that said about what I have said here.
You have excellent taste in men. My first choice also.
He has it all. Class, dignity, intelligence and charm and oh so cute/handsome/sexy.
You have great taste, my friend!
YEP, and some people have good taste and....sm
and some others have NO taste/class....*lol* 
Either way, the comment was in very poor taste.

I hate DocQSribe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQScrbe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQSribe.

Another wise woman with good taste! SM
I think BBT is the bee's knees. You have very good taste.
Love cardiology, hate podiatry. Hate discharges, but

I liked his music but he's way too liberal loony agenda for my taste

Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?
This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this
I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
home remedy for loss of taste/smell
How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
Your taste runs to slender effeminate boys. That's the way it is and how Jude Law
makes a "living" as well as Justin Timberlake. There are those who aren't attracted to manly men and enjoy seeing a pretty boy. BTW, Toby Keith has some excellent tight jeans and long legs and I don't see doughboy but it is relative if you prefer the looks of Jude Law/Justin Timberlake/Leonardo DeCaprio. And he appeared w/o his hat on many times. Not bald by any stretch like Garth Brooks. But having said that, Garth Brooks, dough-boy and balding was hot in his day.
it's TASTE. You have lost sight of the original concept of the posts.
i'm not doing an ethical evaluation on why i am drawn to toby keith or if he may be gay or rock hudson's qualities if he was gay or jude law. it is just the type of guy women are drawn to and why. shallow has nothing to do with the discussion. but you aren't paying attention are you?
I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
I drink because of this job.
I don't drink it as much as I used to...sm
I stopped drinking one a day just because the cost was prohibitive (it adds up at $2 a can). It's almost worth it, though. I swear, within about 10 minutes of drinking one I can tell a difference--not just energy-wise, either. I feel a lot sharper and can focus better, too. I have switched to drinking coffee just because of the economic reasons, but it's really doesn't have the same effect for me.
If you end up trying it and are concerned about calories, the sugar-free has 10 calories as opposed to 110 in the regular kind. I can tell only a very slight difference in taste. A Flintstone is a Flintstone, right? :)
I drink.
I drink and then I gorge on cheese. Actually, no. That's wrong. I drink WHILE gorging on cheese. Cheap wine and cheap cheese gives me the giggles and then I watch a movie while in my retarded stupor, usually Napoleon Dynamite. Then I pass out and "poof" it's a new day. And then I'm really constipated so then I gorge on chocolate...chocolate Ex-Lax.
I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin. 
I don't drink ...sm
but if I did it would be in moderation or very little. Unfortunately, millions of folks can't seem to do anything in moderation, which creates problems for everyone.
THC oil has to be 80% pure and I doubt too many folks are going to be able to produce it in their back yard. Just as few people brew their own beer, wine, hard liquors. Just as most smokers don't grow and roll their own cigarettes.
I expect the government may eventually legalize marijuana to some degree - if for nothing more than the tremendous tax revenue it will bring in. We will still have crime associated with it, just as we have crime associated with tobacco and alcohol - bootlegging, hijacking of cargo, etc.
Poppy and coca leaves are also natural. Should we grow our own heroin and cocaine? When the medicinal properties of these drugs were "discovered" they were hailed as medical breakthroughs. Used to treat pain, depression, hysteria, anda host of ills, cocaine was thought to be a cure for heroin addiction.
But you won't be growing the purer forms of THC oil in your backyard - just like poppy and coca is regulated and only grown in certain places by certain government approved licenses, so will marijuana. I believe India is the world's largest producer of poppy for medical cocaine. And there will always be those black market sources for people who want to use the drugs for other than curative or medical reasons - just as there is now.
Would people support government controlled THC for cancer treatment? or are they more interested in being "free" to get high and have it socially and legally sanctioned? I would support the former but not the latter.
yes of course I do, I eat, drink, take breaks
40k a year now.  Work your shifts guys.
No, but a tall drink...
might be in order. On second thot - make it five! Ur gonna need 'em.
One drink a day it too much. I hope he has some
decent life insurance.
There isn't a disease that causes someone to take that first drink, first
cigarette, or first hit of whatever. I also think a lot of times "disease" is an excuse and not a real issue. I come from a very long line of alcoholics on both sides of my family. As as result I feel I have a predisposition to becoming an alcoholic, so I choose not to drink. Alcoholism may be a disease in some people, but it is curable. HIV/AIDS is a disease too that is 100% preventable. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and want to blame everyone else.
I agree. One drink a day is too much because it just
opens the door for addiction. I'm a teetotaler living with an alcoholic, so I know that one drink is too many.
FUN POLL: How many of you have a drink
I admit to having a glass of wine mixed with white soda from time to time. LOL. I'm such a boozer. Can't handle anything stronger! With all these ESL's and mushies tonight, I deserve it.
FUN POLL: How many of you have a drink
While my computer is booting up, I get my drink..can't function without it! (sad huh?). Sometimes, I might have one before lunch, and one with lunch. Usually I stop and have nothing until after supper. Then, of course, I need one before bed. The funniest part, and you may think it's gross....I love an Oreo or two with my drink at night!
I think you'd drive me to drink, too,
if I lived with you!! Amen!  Nasty, much?
used to drink 16-18 cups a day,
but bladder "accidents" and health concerns caused me to cut down; also developed some scary heart-racing episodes. Now i average 2 cups a day and drink maybe 2 of hot tea in afternoon, and more water.
All you need is a little umbrella drink!

I'll drink to that!
Like you, I started MT at a time that mentoring was the norm. I don't think I would have made it without the support and faith of my teachers. It's unbelievable to me how downright mean and impatient some people in this profession become, but I've witnessed the same thing in the nursing profession (there we call it "eating one's young").
Newbies in any field need nurturing and encouragement, and I can't figure out why it's so darn challenging for some of us to give it to them!
I have often said....I drink my fair share, but....
CLEAN YOUR OWN PEEEEEEEEE !!!! UN-F'ING REAL!!!
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
A drink versus Prozac
Don't worry about it. A drink (in moderation) every now and then, in my opinion, is better than being hooked on Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. I know several women who do not drink, never drank but can not do without their "happy pill". I have a glass of wine or beer after a hard day while cooking dinner which probably happens less than once a month.
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

some families drink to deal with each other
There is a lot going on underneath the scenes, a lot of hurt feelings not dealt with, a lot of hostility, past differences not completely resolved. All together in one house, the roof would fly off with all the pent up tension. Alcohol smooths it out.
smile and nod, or offer him a drink and tell him

Me too after 20+ years, I drink lots
and lots of coffee.
I wouldn't dare...1 drink and

I knew an MT who did more than drink while typing!!! nm

I get a pikc-me-up drink from Starbucks or
My favorite pick-me-upper from Starbucks is of course, their frappachino's (my favorite is mint mocha chip) or an ice-cold coolatta or flavored iced-coffee from Dunkin's. 
I drink 2, maybe 3 cups a day and before noon.
No he doesn't drink anymore
but I have noticed when he goes to the bathroom (we only have one and for some reason they always have to come in and take a pee when you're in there!) that his urine smells very concentrated. I noticed this awhile back and urged him to start drinking more water. He has cut out almost all caffeine (he used to drink Pepsi like an addict) and has upped his intake of water and gatorade. He doesn't take a multivitamin (although I've tried to get him too!)
We do have a clinic here in town that only charges $65 to see the doctor, but unfortunately we are going paycheck to paycheck right now. Hopefully next week we will have some extra and can take him in. I just didn't know if there was anything we could try. I try taking the comforter off of him when he starts sweating but he pulls it back on, and I even put the fan on his side. It doesn't happen every night, but more often than not it does.
I thought maybe it was because he dreams a lot and he was getting his heart rate up, kind of like dogs do when they dream. Not implying that my DH is a dog of course! LOL
Nothing was missing. She did not take a purse. She only had her ID (to drink) in her pocket.
Everything else was in the hotel room. If she drowned she would have become shark or crab food.
I get Monster drink from the corner store...
These really work for me--ingredients below
Carbonated water, sucrose, glucose, citric acid, taurine, natural flavors, sodium citrate, l-carnitine, panax ginseng root extract, ascorbic acid, caffeine, sodium chloride, niacinamide, riboflavin, guarana seed extract, inositol, glucuronalactone, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cyanobalmin.
I would agree with the walking. And drink lots of
water.
I actually lost 20 lbs. after I started to work at home. No pastries, donuts, pies and candy in the break room anymore. :) And I've had time to walk and I drink water instead of tons of coffee with cream and sugar. Of course I still have my one cup in the morning so I won't yell at the kids. :)
Truth is, as an MT, I can't afford pastries or gourmet coffee. The water comes out of the faucet and the exercise membership, i.e. walking the dog around the neighborhood is free!
Worked for me. Give it a month. You'll not only lose the 10 lbs., you'll really feel great.
I drink hot cider frequently and it doesn't keep me
awake. Apple juice is a stimulant, but stimulates the other end.
