    It has alcohol? I had no idea. Maybe the reason it tasted so good is I had a buzz. :p

    @Bess Barber
    For your own record, note ALCOHOL ends in "OL", as did the chemical names referred to by @Emma Smith. All alcohols end in "OL", like METHANOL, which you may have heard of, wood alcohol, or ETHANOL, the most popular. The sugar alcohols, like Erythritol, are actually natural products.

    "Erythritol is a zero calorie sugar replacement used to sweeten just about anything! Sprinkle over fruit, use to make ice cream and even bake with it just like sugar!

    As part of the “sugar alcohol” family, Erythritol is a naturally derived extract from fruits and plants and passes straight through your body undigested. Therefore, erythritol does not affect blood glucose levels in most people and has zero net carbohydrates! This makes it the perfect sugar alternative for diabetics, low carb “keto” dieters and anyone reducing calories."

    Benefits of erythritol?
    • Zero calories
    • Zero GI (Gastro-intestinal distress)
    • Zero active carbohydrates
    • Diabetic friendly
    • No aspartame
    • No tooth decay
    • Stomach friendly
    • Perfect for ketone diets

    I learned today that i was wrong on about the first day of Fall. It is today, and what a beautiful Fall day it was, got the grass mowed, still somewhat wet. Rain for the next couple of days.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.....Again. So i guess i did some premature complaining the other day. Oh well, good to have some stock piles of complaints, just in case they're needed:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:.

    It’s a yearly event similar to that of our groundhog’s day.
    Each year, a guru high atop Mt. Kanchenjunga (India’s highest mountain), comes out of his cave, observes the stars and later, the positioning of his shadow at sunrise, the direction of the smoke of his incense, then Flips a coin to decide when the danged time change will be.

    I really don’t know either but it’s a better story than the one’s I keep getting........

    Learning at least one new thing each day is a great idea. I learned today about the five affairs that JFK was involved with during his presidency. They have been substantiated and not rumors or heresay

    @Gloria Mitchell Just wondering how are you feeling. Any signs that maybe the meds are helping.
