Water - it does a body good.

My goal is 80 ounces of water a day - I weight about 160 so half my body weight in ounces is a good start. As summer ramps up ii is even more important.

I haven't had a soda pop in months.

mmmmmmmmm - on my way to get a glass of water right now.

Maybe they misspelled drano as coke.

I have my students use coke, water, cool-aid, and other items they choose, baking soda etc. with a penny to teach them the Scientific Method, and bottom line, coke does nothing to a penny over a couple of day period, even a week....the first time I did it, I was telling my students, the penny will be gone.....hah....at least they learn about the scientific method though. Try it!!!!

Of course, I treat coke like other items that can be bad for you if abused, I drink it occasionally for enjoyment, water and green tea are my staples....except in the morning, then it's that other health food drink that gets a bad rap....Coffee!!!!!!!
