=====================
Hello, Michael.

Sunday July 24 2011 at 16:48, you wrote to me:

I asked one of my doctors about HFCS versus cane sugar and how it affects
glucose.  He called me back a few hours later and said he did find a few
studies on PubMed that showed a definite spike with HFCS but he said that the
evidence, even then, was inconclusive.  I guess what I should have said was
that's what it does to me and YMMV.

 ML> What kind of Georgia boy are you, anyhow.

I'm not. :)

While I have lived in the South since September 11, 1995, I still consider
myself to be a West Coaster.  I was born in San Diego and lived a majority of
my life on the West Coast.  I've lived all over the Californian Inland Empire
and all over Oregon also as well as the Pacific Northwe(s)t.  I grew up
drinking Pepsi and its ilk, but these days, if I do drink soda, I will just get
Kroger's store brand for a good price.  If I go out, I prefer to get
caffeine-free Diet Pepsi if I can find it but it's hard around here to do so.
Usually only Yum Brand stores or the Golden Corral here have Pepsi products;
everywhere else is Coke.

I consider myself an honorary Southerner and redneck.  Why redneck?  Well, if
you ever get a look at my teeth, you'll see I fit right in around here. :P

 ML> Caffeine has been the bane of my existence for decades.

I never noticed the effect caffeine had on me until recently, to be honest.  I
am drinking a diet soda with caffiene in it right now, but I will be doing
outdoor work soon and I can use the pick-me-up.  But I am trying hard not to
have it daily and trying to drink more water.

 ML> Congratulations.

Thank you.  I am happy with the job and am even happier to be employed.  This
last stretch of unemployment was the longest one in my adult life (my first job
was in 1988, IIRC) and it was certainly the most stressful and uncomfortable
time I've had in a long time.  Thankfully, my bosses have liked my performance
and attitude, so I have earned a five-day work week.  I'm scheduled to work
from 7 AM to 11 AM, but I will work longer on the weekends if needed when I've
no school.  Last Saturday I was scheduled to be off, but they called me in for
a few hours and those few hours turned into a full 8-hour shift (7 AM-4:30 PM).
My body ached but I wasn't complaining!

As for my school schedule, I did go in to my advisor and was able to get a
"permit" to join an already-full "online" geography class I need to take since
I am a geoscience major.  So I dropped the physical class and now have more
breathing room when it comes to time.  M-W-F I don't have to be to school until
2:45 PM and T-TH I have to be at school at 12:45 PM, so that still gives me an
hour and 30 minutes to go home, change, eat, and get myself together for class.
