    Wow ... looks like I stumbled upon a heated conversation re: surgery carbonated beverages. I say pop btw. Sometimes carbonated water (like Bubly or Perrier) is referred to as "spicy" water in my house.

    Anyway, I came here to complain about how I sabotaged my relatively healthy day with a bag of chips (no pop though) and Wine Gums. But reading this has reminded me there's more to life than CICO, even on a fitness website, such as robust debate about drinks.

    I'm more interested in your complaint than the soda debate. But then again, CICO is all I think about these days.

    That being said, Diet Dr. Pepper really does taste more like regular Dr. Pepper.

    Well now, Tim Bits and Tim Horton's is on my mind because someone else mentioned them. : :D

    Never been to either. There is a Tim Hortons around here, are they any good?

    IMO it’s decidedly average. I don’t drink coffee but I’ve heard from coffee drinkers it’s just okay. They do have lots of options for food so it’s an easy default, but it’s not necessarily healthy or fresh. Timmy’s is probably one of the most overrated things about Canada. Now if you want a good Canadian coffee chain check out Second Cup. They have the best London Fogs! And then their holiday London Fogs are even better. And they have fresh food and frozen yogurt too!

    I concur, but admittedly I’ve only been to one Tim’s a couple times in northern Michigan. Peeps disagreed with my opinion.

    I’ve never been to Second Cup but I sure will when I’m within traveling distance to one next.

    Wondering if I'll ever be able to work again. I worked in nursing for years until I had a major depression a few years ago. After I (kind of) recovered from that, I tried to find something less stressful for me and worked at a car dealership, I hated it. Returned to nursing and then I got diagnosed with cancer and haven't worked in over 1 year. If I ever go back to work, I don't know what path I will take. I feel like my priorities and way of looking at life as changed and I don't want to do anything that doesn't make me happy anymore. All I know is that I don't think I'll be returning to work for a while..

    What about teaching nursing online? There's a huge market, and you'd be doing something meaningful to you. When I look for adjunct positions there always seem to be openings for people to teach nursing courses.

    I don't think I will go back to nursing. I know there's a chance I will probably not be physically able to. I'm suffering from neurophaty right now because chemo affected my nervous system and a few days ago I woke up with my left arm completely numb. Hopefully it will come back to normal with treatment. I guess I'll just try to focus of recovering from everything my body had been through in the last year for now. Maybe with time I'll figure things out.

    Oh my gosh. That sounds terrifying. Yes - it sounds like focusing on your health is paramount! <3

    I'm in the market for a new pimp. How are you with handling money and b**** slapping?

    Pretty much the Canadian equivalent of Dunkin Donuts from what I've seen/eaten/drank. Tim Horton's does slightly better breakfast sandwiches, though.

    Donuts are mostly the same, but I have a fondness in my heart of hearts for cake donuts, which Dunkin' is master of (unless you are lucky to have a really good local donut store).

    Thinking... More so rambling to help me think this out.. Kinda... First a spider, and now contending with yellow jackets in my bedroom. Two today. One each day for the past three days. They arent anywhere else in the house. Hive(?) has to be in the drywall of bedroom? Basement? I see them come and go from two tiny holes in the brick around my windows and ensuite window. Windows are 12 feet above the ground. (Mom becomes agitated when someone she doesnt know comes into the house. Takes me hours to calm her.)

    *Meh* Wonder how someone will remove the hive. Will they need to remove part of the wall? This is stuff my dad would have dealt with... Not me.

    Rambling finished.

    I don’t think wasps, including mason wasps, drill or burrow through masonary. I think they use preexisting holes or tunnels. They will, however, use whatever space is available to make a nest or hive. So, there very well could be a hive in the wall.

    I think the first thing to do would be to identify exactly what type of insect or wasp they are then from there you could figure out a mitigation plan.
