Same. My mum drank only Diet Coke, black coffee and water. I can't drink regular Coke and usually water down fruit juice.[DOUBLEPOST=1489625535,1489625455][/DOUBLEPOST]My friend who got me on the protein powder and shakes I'm using now, adds sweetener to hers and so do quite a few of the recipes I see on line. I can't imagine! I find it tastes like syrup as is.
I fuckin' love diet coke.
All diet soda tastes like its got soap in it to me. Also that Aspartame shit can give you cancer.
ALSO BAD-but I also heard cancer.
I don't smoke. I don't do drugs other than the ridiculously long smorgasbord of prescribed ones I'm on. Because of those, I can't drink booze and as of a few week ago, can't eat much. Diet Coke was all I had left!!!
That was fun I should say. I can drink water. And water with protein powder in it.

Still weird though....for the coincidence of it all.

I think I can probably count on my fingers the number of sodas I had as a kid. My parents thought they were evil. Don't do this to your kids, or they'll do the same thing I did: drink it like crazy when they finally get their hands on it.
EDIT: also video games and Saturday morning cartoons. I confess I never really saw Transformers or Thundercats until they went on netflix. Never played NES or Atari games until emulators.

I gave this "informative" but "curb-stomping the debate" would be closer to accurate. Excellent source on the snopes one in particular.
When I was a kid, I preferred to drink water. Sodas were available (Coke, Dr. Pepper, Tab), but I didn't want them.
When I got into high school, that changed, and I practically lived on the stuff for 20 years.
Mom had significant issues with swelling in her legs and feet when she was home. As soon as she went to the nursing home after her knee surgery, it went away. As soon as she came home again it was back. Then when everything went wrong in December and she went to the hospital, it went away again. The common thread at home was Diet Dr Pepper. She did not want to give it up.
That was the impetus for me to give up on sodas myself. I ditched the Diet Dr Pepper, Coke Zero, and Sprite Zero and switched to Perrier and LA Croix. Can't say I miss it.

My parents were hard asses and denied me cats and hair dyes. I am now addicted to both since leaving home.[DOUBLEPOST=1489678372,1489678101][/DOUBLEPOST]Seriously, my mother never fails to tell me how ugly my hair is blonde. It's dead looking, it has no shine, my face looks pasty and sickly, it's not natural, my roots are out of control....etc etc
No it isn't, yes it does, because I am sick and pasty perhaps?, it isn't and I'm aware that with black eyebrows I'm not fooling anyone, no shit Sherlock but medical appointments come before hair appointments...mind your own business...I don't rain on you hair parade!!
My parents were hard asses and denied me hookers and blow...
Jesus, man, how did you ever get through kindergarten?!
Very informative, and I'm definitely sure my father won't believe it.

So this just happened:
*doorbell*
Hi, we're have a ladies' night - slash - sleepover, and we can't get the bottles of cava [champagne for you wine-illiterates] open. Would you come help us please? *eyelashes batting*
I don't think I've ever seen a porn start that way, but if I had, I'd have said it was completely ridiculous. I mean, I just opened some bottles, honestly, but still. That was weird. The lady who came by to ask me was someone I know from college and I used to have a crush on, so that just added to my befuddlement and general "what the heck?" feeling.

Hey settle an argument, is Dan Jurgens a trump supporter? Pretty sure the guy I'm arguing with is thinking of Jim Steranko.
And then what happened?
Did you just miss an opportunity, or did you just avoid temptation (ie: you are in a relationship or married already) ? This is near-Monty Python-levels of temptation you were describing there.
I'm fairly sure my girlfriend of 7 years wouldn't be too thrilled had I reacted any other way than I did. She was none too happy when she found out our new-bought home was 2 doors down from an old crush as it was
Me a few seconds ago: Robot x Laserbeam? THAT SOUNDS FUCKING AWESOME!
*reads it*
Its a fucking golf manga...and the main character's name is Roboto....seriously.

The only way this could be more perfect for the setup of a sitcom would be if your current GF and the former one used to be friends but aren't anymore, but are trying to resolve their differences from living near each other, but you get between them, etc.I'm fairly sure my girlfriend of 7 years wouldn't be too thrilled had I reacted any other way than I did.

Now we get to come up with fake show titles!

Last week, my cat got out and disappeared for a few days. No big deal, he's done this 3 or 4 times before, and as usual, he came back home a few nights later (saturday night).
Thing is, this morning when I was playing with him before work, I noticed the little snot is MISSING A FANG. His right upper canine is broken off just outside the gum line. I have no idea how he managed to do this. He's been home for days and hasn't acted like he was in pain, and he's been eating and drinking as normal.
So anyway, I got him an appointment and took him to the vet this afternoon, just to make sure there wasn't some other problem with the broken off fang that needed to be addressed. The vet says it looks ok, and just to "keep an eye on it." That'll be 50 bucks please.
Just to make it not a complete waste of a trip I got all his vaccinations updated and got him microchipped (something I'd been meaning to do for quite a while, given his propensity to go walkabout). Turns out microchipping is fast and cheap, which is good.
So now he's back home and purring away as usual, just glad his ordeal is over (he's afraid of the vet).
I should'a named him Fang.
