I wish I could give up soda, I'm just not determined enough for that. At least my soda stream is slightly better.

I use to drink Mountain Dew all the time to help keep me awake when I worked overnights and then when I drove truck. I gave it up about threes ago now (I think) and really no longer even want to drink it.

The nastiest bottled water brands I've tasted are dasani, nestle, and aquafina. Aquafina being the worst of those 3.
well all Dasani is is reverse osmosis filtered tap so it tastes pretty normal minus the platic-y taste. It can be any brand I still taste plastic I guess I'm sensitive to that since I never used to drink bottled water at home ever.

I do like Fiji water though! That texture and flavor... just yum, but too much money for water to buy it!

Depends on the water bottle's brand. I've found that some to taste a little like plastic, one I drank a a bottle that tastes like actual plastic. My favorite bottled water brand is Dolomia, tastes perfect in my opinion.

I agree, there are a few brands (cheap ones) that I will drink. I don't drink it often, but it's nice to have around.

We usually get Fiji or ozarka if we need bottled water while traveling.

mt dew is my soda kryptonite. I have sodastream equivalent (diet) and I just got some at Panera. I know it feels so much better to stop drinking it though, I went on a local reverse spring break trip 3 years ago to our closest Heifer international and spend 3 days there and ate all natural farm grown/raised foods and drinks and I felt so ... fresh I guess would best explain it, it felt good being away from junk! I kinda lived off farm fresh hard boiled eggs :p

My favorite water bottle brand isn't cheap... I found that I like this water called "Mist" It says "Water harvested from the air". It tastes pure. :)

Green thumbs,
What is this turning the leaves transparent? This is a sweet potato vine.

There seemed to be some small webbing from the leaf to the stem. Elsewhere on the plant is a small spider but I don't know if it's just a protector or he's up to no good. :0/

Garden compass has a section for problem ID, would you like me to send the photos to them? I have never had a sweet potato plant.

I remember reading one forum member had saved it all. Who was that guy who started the thread? It might have been him.... Not quite sure.

The OP said he had saved it all, however since he's been banned, there's no way he can put it back up. It's not gone, it has been put into the "to be deleted" file. No one but Josh and the mods can see that file.
