hooray for weekends!!!!!!!!!! okay that was slightly excessive with the exclamation points, but really sometimes you just have to let loose and celebrate. and what better time than when you have just arrived home from work and do not have to return for two full days? seriously name something more worth while to celebrate with an overuse of the exclamation point.
on a lighter note we are less than a month from opening day!!!!!!! okay, so maybe its not so hard to find a good use for the exclamation point but hey, i think thats okay. spring is right around the corner and soon it will be warmer and lighter and less snowier and all sorts of wonderful things will be abounding. also i learned today from our apartment news letter that honey can be used as the center of a golf ball. now whether this is true or false i do not know, but it sounds fun.
I must admit that my favorite overuse of punctuation is the comma. I like to add it wherever I feel the need to pause, or take a breath if I were reading out loud, . Commas, to me, are more like reading directions than actually being of any real use. So, dear readers, pause, take a breath, and have a lovely weekend, and possibly, think of punctuation in your own life, and how it affects your going-abouts.
And now a new segment of The Compounded:
Roommate Battle--
(While reading this part, to get into the spirit of fighting, raise your fist in the air, and imagine us doing the same, aiming them at each other; we are remembering the faces of our fathers (I also like a few semi-colons splattered here and there, even if used incorrectly)).
Battle 1: Splenda vs. Sugar--
Katie's view: I would rather have no drink treat, than a drink treat with splenda.
Amanda's view: I would rather have lots of drink treats with splenda, because they are less points.
But they are not so tasty.
But, yes they are.
Please cast your vote in the comments area. We shall tally them (which shouldn't take long), and announce the winner next blog. Brett has to buy the winner her favorite drink treat for his punishment (it's a win, win, win, see. We are in a generous mood, so he gets off easy. And may we make a suggestion, if he is feeling equally generous, he can buy the loser a drink treat, too).
The euro key's power over our blog is beginning to expand. 288280128€€. <--This appeared completely on it's own when Amanda tried pushing the back arrow. It's a message, yet we do not know the meaning. Perhaps it's a warning. A warning from who? We don't know. We are concerned.

Splenda is splendid
Splenda is the best for tasty low point drink treats!
splenda
Jake thinks that a drink treat with splenda is no drink treat at all.
I say sugar. I say this because that is how God made it, not how mankind defiled it.
Sucralose is just as gross as aspartame, and has similar health risks (probably more, considering its chemical makeup and that it contains chlorine). Sugar has no health risks unless you're diabetic...or if you're just plain stupid with consumption levels.
Sugar is better.
Drink treats are worthless if they contain sucralose.
This is my second vote, and I intend to vote more later on, as there were no limits set.
Double votes are acceptable? Then I vote for sugar again, which I believe puts sugar in the lead.
today i vote for sugar because i am not yet concerned about points because i guess i'm making a tummy to keep babies in for awhile. and as we computed last night, i am only 1.2 jills at the moment. however, if i carry on the tradition of my fathers, i may someday have diabetes. at that point i shall probably vote for splenda. hopefully before then brett will have paid his punishment, so the splenda vote won't count. TODAY I SAY SUGAR!
I vote for Splenda again.
Sugar. Sucar in the spanish. But sugar. And real sugar. Not fake sugar. Sugar is good for the soul. Fake sugar is more like the anti-sugar. Not so good. Maybe bad.
Periods might be more fun than commas.
REAL Splenda
Splenda again.
and SPLENDA a Third (count 'em) time
did I mention: SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA, SPLENDA.
Unless you have honey or unrefined sugar. Then I vote: Splenda. (but I will use honey or unrefined (uncultured, uneducated, just plain dumb, poorly dressed, etc.) sugar.
But if I have a choice . . .
. . . splenda.
I'll even use 'pink' stuff if I don't have SPLENDA.
Really!
But never the 'blue' stuff. Nutra Sweet seems to make me forget things, like my name, or my name.
Things like that.
splenda
that's all I have to say about that.
I agree with Papa, splenda.u
Sugar because....
PAINT IS POISON!!!!!!
It seems that initializing a vote with no limit is the best thing you could ever do to encourage commenting.
and succulent sugar.
sugar.
Sugar, I say it again. It is true.
Oh, and, sugar.
Also, sugar is better.
Sugar should definitely win this competition, as it is the better product.
God made sugar.
People made splenda.
Let's see...I trust God over people anyday. So, sugar wins.
Sugar is better.
Anything with splenda or like falsifications of truth isn't worth the poison they make it with.
Sugar is the better choice.
SUGAR!!!!
Eat sugar. Substitutes are PAINT!
Would anyone want me to create a test to see which is better? Or perhaps a full blown Quality Plan? What exactly is the robustness level of sugar in comparison to the robustness level of splenda? We can then put together a risk analysis chart of each and rank each quality of sugar and splenda. We would also need a full application summary of both substances and then we could perform a DFMEA and try to lower the risk values of each. Then we can hold a 'Decision Point' meeting and invite everyone who voted. I'll present all the data and we'll argue out the results eventually coming to a decision. Should only take 3 months.
(this is what I've been doing for the last 2 months)
Sugar will win, methinks.
The sugar is the better one.
Would you rather eat something God made or eat something with chlorine and traces of wood alcohol (poison) in it? Once again, sugar is better.
Sugar. Definitely sugar.

Let's see. According to this, there's not really any question. Sugar wins. It's pretty interesting reading as well. Enjoy.
Also, according to the previously referenced site, splenda isn't necessarily even made from sugar. So sugar wins.

We lived fine without Splenda before its FDA approval in 1999. Europeans also survived fine without sugar until the 13th century. I think we might be better off with neither of them.
I protest the oppressive two party system of this election. I vote for a third option. I want soda with neither sugar nor artificial sweetener.
I Vote Anarchist: None of the Above!
