August,

 AA> I drank coffee non-stop throughout the day many years ago. I
 AA> carried caffeine pills incase I missed having a coffee at my
 AA> prescribed intervals inorder to avoid the withdrawal headaches.

  I never acquired a taste for coffee...but I used to drink ice tea
by the pitcher!!

 AA> But eventually I decided "no more coffee". Going gold-turkey
 AA> wasn't working. But I learned that I can wean off caffineated
 AA> gradually by reducing the strength and substituting decaf. From
 AA> 8-10 large cups per day down to 1 half-strength is amazing for
 AA> me.  I'm hanging on to that one half-strength coffee in the
 AA> morning though. The goal is to just have decaf.

  Is there such a thing as decaffinated tea?? I can do the "Kroger
Koolaid" if need be...but if I end up working at the computer too
much, my eyes and my back give me fits...as they are today.

 DS> As the late W.C. Fields said "I don't drink water. Fish
 DS> [have sex] in it". <G>

 AA> He shouldn't be drinking from lakes or pond. That's his
 AA> problem.

  He apparently got so plastered anyway...Charlie McCarthy wanted
to use his nose for a tail light on his bicycle. <G>

 AA> Have you tried the water/flavour enhancers?  I'm trying one of
 AA> these recently:

  I'm using the Kroger version of Crystal Light. For now, it's
serving the purpose.

 AA> And you are probably destined to be on other meds to control
 AA> the side-effects of the previous meds.  :/

  Just like Jeff Foxworthy's video on that. Or like the tagline
"Overmedicated?? We have a prescription for that!!". :P

 AA> I know several people who began taking ONE medication for ONE
 AA> thing and have ended up with taking a cocktail of 8+ meds every
 AA> day.

  I'm up to 8 for the first meal, and 4 for the second meal...the
latter are ones I have to take twice a day.
