[tri-med] Re: Coco cola method?

I think that is an awesome use of cola... instead of drugs for ADD!
Thanks for the quote (I'm too lazy to look that stuff up most of the time).
 Amazing that Miss P likes it warm. 
When my son was small, we gave him a taste of a warm cola from the can... to 
this day (he's 11) he's never touched the stuff... or sprite, or any can of 
soda. If it is all that is offered (and sadly some events only offer sodas) 
he just goes to the water fountain. He's a great kid! 
His dad(DH) is hooked on coca cola... lately he switched to diet and now 
with lime... I think our 11yo will be hooked one day to it also... but maybe 
not. I like it okay (esp with the Captain), but usually opt for coffee or 
tea if I need a lift. Otherwise, I prefer juice... okay okay... it's not all 
about me me me! hehehe.
