Re: Fwd: Fw: Water VS Coke(is this for real or what?)

[Guest guest]

Wow Cristy, that was totally awesome.......! Make me want to jump up and

run for a glass of water right now!

I don't doubt that part of my problem is not drinking enough water. I slap

myself almost every night before I go to bed for not drinking more water

that day. : )
