I haven't checked there lately, we don't use those all that much.  But
they were doing a taste-station last night for the new Wegmans brand
bottled flavored green teas (just in time for the hot weather, of
course).  I always read ingredients before tasting (apple is too often
a stealth ingredient), so I noticed that they use cane sugar there.  Not
a lot either...  as the label says, "Lightly Sweetened"... :)   She had
lychee flavored and lemon flavored out on the tray, both were actually
quite nice.  :)

 JK> No kidding.. I checked the receipt that Ron brought home, and yes,

 JK> the carbeurator.. but darn, if they'd called us, we would have told
 JK> them forget it :( 

And what was the problem it went in for?  Something that those would
have been the probable cause?  And, if so, why not mention that when Ron
took the car in to begin with?  Our local mechanic is really good about
letting us know when something isn't going as he expected, and not doing
costly things that "might solve the problem" unless he checks first.

 JK> A picky eater :)  Our kitties seem to especially like fresh meat

She's a bit more of a picky eater... she has her specialties, too,
though.  ;)  She likes little bits of cooked spinach, particularly off
our spinach-ricotta pizza.  And she likes crumbs of muffins.  :)

 JK> lately (YUCK!) Birds, mice, hope they don't discover the exquisite

 JK> the snake up to the back door, and hold it down with her paw while
 JK> meowing at the back door... she'd keep doing that until I went out
 JK> there and um.. disposed of it :(  Luckily, garter snakes didn't scare
 JK> me (g). 

I figure that cats are supposed to take care of the rodents... :)  I'd
appreciate them leaving the birds alone, though.  Haven't seen any sort
of snakes here in the city, though... ;)   Were the snakes you had to
dispose of still alive, or recent kill?  I remember, years ago, as a
camp counselor, gaining the undying respect of Junior High boys by not
running away squealing (as they had fully expected) when they had things
like little snakes (or frogs, etc) in their hands, but rather holding
out my hand, Let me see that...  (G)
