Yogabuff...I certainly hope that they would not give me an IV with ANY form of sugar in it!!! I've been low carbing for less than a month now & sugar (or any other form of it) makes me ill. I took a very tiny sip of a friend's vodka cooler last week & felt like I was going to toss my cookies!!

Animal Doc...I have a 2 yr. old Jack Russel Terror ahem..terrier, and he is like a son to me . Sound weird? I don't think so. when you see what animals give to humans(unconditional love, excited greetings at the door, kisses, cuddles, lowering of high blood pressure, lowered anxiety & stress levels, a general sense of well being....)in exchange for food & a belly rub, it's no a mystery to me why pet owners live longer. Yoga Buff is right. You are a real doctor, and anyone who says differently is well...a few bricks short & should visit an animal shelter for a day.
