I believe an "I told you so" is in order.

[RedKing]

6 months ago had woman come by for divorce. 3 kids, lots of fighting in emails already at that point. I quoted her a flat rate of $6000. She looked at me like I just cut off her toe or something. She comes by recently and says she paid someone else $15,000 so far.... [sigh].

I don't.... It doesn't.... But you.... So I charge $150/hour and you call that expensive. Then you go to someone else for $275/hour and somehow wonder how it cost more money. The stupid, it hurts.

Out of curiosity, what did she come by for? (unless that's privileged info)

Somehow, I feel STRONGer. Not strong enough to snap bows on touching them, but enough to use a 34-pound one without noticing until afterwards.

Feeling stronger is often a precursor to muscle weakness.... Muah ha ha ha
^{Well actually unless you're in space or underwater I'd highly doubt it}

Doobedoo... hey, lemon wafer thingy. *tastes* Pretty good! *eats another* Sugar free? Huh... wonder what's in it? *checks*

"Excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect in sensitive persons."

The chemical used as a replacement for sugar is a laxative in high doses. Suger free Polos and Chewing Gum has the same effect if you take too much of it (though it does have to be a lot).

That... why? Why? How is "may give runs" an acceptable side effect of "not sugar but still sweet"? And... why not use something without that side effect? This is where the WTF comes from

Because when you spit in the face of nature's sugar, nature makes you shit your pants. It's only fair.

Sugar is bad kids, mmkaaaaaay

The key word is high doses. You'd have to be on quite a few packets of polos or chewing gum a day to get this effect.

I think most artificial sugars are carcinogens too.

But people never hear that part, they want to belive they can drink six twelve-packs of coke a day and not have a distended stomach or have to go through Chemotherapy.

I may have several horrible cancer diagnoses in vital organs, and I'm liable to die an excrutiating death at any time, but by god I AM NOT FAT!

I don't see how using a laxative (in high dosage) is better than having the sugar.
