You have to be careful which mexican bottles of Coke you buy, though - if it's a 16 oz glass bottle, it's made with corn syrup. The 12 oz ones are made with real sugar. Man, they're TASTY! And available at my local CostCo. Yay! Oh, and IIRC, Kosher Coke (available somewhere in NYC, I think) is also made with real sugar.

Massachusetts runners were able to adapt to the cold down there.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 I'm sorry this is totally OT, but for Christmas, my son gave his father an autographed picture of Archie Bunker, DH proudly hung it over his chair. The perfect gift. Back on subject, I wish I could get my DH to move to Florida, or maybe any place w/o ice and frigid weather.
