   Hello Janis,

   I have to be careful too as I can be the same way though with it getting close    
   to 90F today already I tend to chug a lot of water in the heat.  I like soda    
   (a little too much) but the only thing that keeps me cool is water.  I have    
   hyperhydrosis, meaning I sweat too much, so I am especially prone to getting    
   dehydrated quickly.

   I have to be careful with sugar-free stuff.  Anything with "-ol" in it usually    
   will cause me to go screaming to the bathroom.   
      
   It's best for me to just not eat anything sweet or carb-heavy.  Though I have    
   lost a lot of weight in the past few months since the car accident...

   I have had that issue.  I usually will shut down the BBS, go through and clean    
   out the inbound and outbound directories, fire MBSE back up, and et voila! it    
   magically starts working again.
