   EV>I just checked the spelling and found out the correct way to spell the   
   EV>word is teetotaler, not as I wrote above.   
      
     Most kids nowadays wouldn't even get that far. Newspapers are written   
   on a third grade reading level (if even that). They can work with their   
   smartphones, and play athletics...but, when it comes to reading and   
   writing complete sentences, paragraphs, etc. they are at a complete   
   loss.   
      
     In fact, several years ago, one of the "student athletes" at the   
   University Of Arkansas (Fayetteville) said that the coach (Nolan   
   Richardson, at the time) "recruited him to play basketball...NOT go to   
   class". And, at the time, the graduation percentage of student athletes   
   was at a damning ZERO percent!!   
      
   EV>Thanks for the info about Tea.   
   EV>I drink it occasionally, but prefer RC Cola and other softdrinks.   
      
     The classic Coca-Coca used to be my beverage of choice...but now, it's   
   Ginger Ale. Some of the Wendy's and Burger King restaurants have a deal   
   from Coca-Cola that allows a wide selection of soft drinks with it. One   
   of the McDonald's in the Little Rock area has the best tasting Coca-Cola   
   in town, IMO. But, I'm trying to avoid caffeine, if at all possible. I   
   never acquired a taste for coffee. A fellow BBS Sysop practically "lives   
   for Java"...and I don't mean the utility from Oracle.    
      
   EV>You mention Ginger Ale, Kroger sells Cherry Ginger All in packs of   
   EV>Twelve 12 Ounce cans.   
      
     I never tried the cherry one...I'll have to look at that on Friday.   
   I'll be spending the weekend at my Mom's, as the yearly stripping and   
   waxing of my apartment floor takes place this weekend...then, we have   
   storms forecast the first half of next week. So, I'm going to be offline   
   for a bit (ham radio and otherwise) after Friday.   
      
   EV>Orange Cream Soda in the 12 can packs.   
      
     I love cream soda...and that orange cream soda sounds delicious!!   
      
   EV>A Doctor recently told me to drink fluids often through the day, and   
   EV>I said "Me and My RC!" to Him, and He grimmished and shook His head.   
      
     When the doctor told me I had to watch what I ate...and I said "I do!!   
   From the plate to the mouth!!"...he wasn't amused. :P   
      
   EV>You're a better Ham than I am Gunga Dinn(sp?).   
      
     We tell examinees at the license exam sessions, who pass the tests   
   "Winner!! Winner!! Chicken Dinner!!"...and add "we don't like to say   
   ''ham'' in that regard, as it makes us look cannibalistic"!! (hi hi).
