Agreed on both counts.
It has to be an extreme emergency to drink that instant crap! I would rather have one of those coffee "tea-bag like" single servings than instant crystals. I do have some Folgers crystals in my pantry and I saw it the other day and was wondering how old that jar was? I think it might be trash day soon and that's where it will end up! :)

You should donate it for the teacher's lounge at one of your kids' school or something along those lines.
I think I'll donate it to 8-x
That's an outstanding idea as well!!!! @};-

In my estimation, that site is for the most part a needless pastiche of the DBArr! :ar! , to say nothing of the fact that it's a blatant usurpation of our moniker.

And this was a pretty delightfully overwrought sentence.

So I'm listed as a "PWing school professor" now. In light of the long academic road that still lies before me, that somehow seems a bit cruel. :-s

We're working on getting some good front page content. That's key to search engine optimization. I think I'm the hold up right now, from a technology perspective. Will work on it later today I promise!

WOW! I am thoroughly impressed. I doubt I could even draw my neighborhood accurately, much less the United States!

I had to look it up. My guess involved passing gas while "in the act". I was wrong.

Brunette (dark). Very nice not-quite-olive complexion. Thinnish, average height. Think I'll sneak another peek or two on the way to/from the restroom.

My oldest son could freehand the US at about age 6. He never was much of a drawer but he can do maps. He's also the guy to take with you to keep from getting lost. The family joke is we don't need GPS, we have 'Onboard Andrew'.

You're a Super Taster, too.
I don't think they are necessarily mutually exclusive. In the VAST majority of cases, I fall in the middle somewhere. I believe I fall in the "sensitive taster" category, but not quite the super taster. I think non super tasters CAN have an aversion to saccharin, and I think some super tasters DON'T have the aversion. I don't think one necessarily HAS to follow the other. I think it actually falls on a different part of the same chromosome, genetically.

GAH, you've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

I just think that artificial sweeteners taste bitter and they linger way too long.

And my cousin, the nutrition professor, calls me a "SuperTaster."
