Everyday I try to think as positive thoughts as possible. Some days it's more difficult to do than some, and at times I have to talk to myself (sometimes out loud, my psych professor said it was okay as long as I don't answer back :), and "say stop the negative thoughts". I tend to be a positive person and try to stay away from negative people and their negative energies.
My sister sent me an interesting email earlier this month and it was called Water vs Coke? I've seen this article before but it was some years ago and thought I should put some of this info in my Blog. I won't even post the benefits of drinking water because I think the benefits of drinking water is a no-brainer. I don't think we need a study to figure out that water is good for you, duh! So now about Coke, first off, I am bias because I've never really liked soda and stopped drinking coke when I was in high school after a weird science project that I can't even remember. But did you know...
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood fromthe highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days. (sorry I've never tried it and since I don't eat steak I wouldn't know.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour,then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China . I've not tried this one either, but the next time I come across a can of coke I just might take it home just to try it since I wouldn't buy coke just to throw my money down the toilet.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of ReynoldsWrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis. #2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Okay, now a disclaimer, as mentioned before I have not tried any of the above and I don't know if they are just Urban Legends and since I don't drink the stuff I could care less since it won't be messing with my body, but for those who do drink Coke, something to think about, or not?

Oh heck, so glad I kicked that Diet Coke habit to the curb...I've got Tony to thank for that. Yep, I would drink 6-8 can's a day and never water, now that's just sad, but I was an addict! Now I'm addicted to my Tony water...I never thought that would happen :)
