A few days ago a new friend Teri made came over to the house for a visit. Teri offered her a cup of tea or coffee and she asked for tea. After the tea had brewed it was time for milk and sugar (or lemon) and I asked her preference. She said milk and sugar. I asked her if she wanted “real sugar” or “sugar substitute” and she said that she always uses “real sugar.” She said that she thinks that the sugar substitutes are worse for your health than real sugar. What do YOU think? For example, if someone is a diabetic, is artificial sweetener the better choice, or real sugar? I’ve been using sugar substitute, trying to cut down on my calories!

Teri recently started wearing cargo pants when she wants to dress casually.  She said that she was getting really tired of dragging her purse around, and having cargo pants to put her essential things in frees her up.  I can see her point, I certainly don’t want to lug a purse around!  I was surprised when she told me that she found some 5.11 Tactical pants on the Internet that she wants to buy.  I asked her why would she want to buy something like that?  She explained it is because they have even MORE pockets, and they make them in men’s and women’s sizes.  She found them on the lapolicegear.com website, and she is going to order a couple of pairs to see how she likes them.
