My Dad found a rat's foot in a block of cheese once. He cut around it, looked at it for in moment, threw it away, and continued slicing the cheese up for his sandwich. A good amount of what is in cheese is considered unknown.

Is the word alcohol even mentioned in D&C 89? Don't worry, I checked and it is not there (only references are to strong drink (not allowed), wine (allowed for sacrament) and mild drink(allowed)). So why is there a ban on any and all alcohol if it's not listed? It's funny that we are okay drinking caffeine but not alcohol.
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Especially since you can't drink caffeine until you're 21.
I had a taste of my wife's Coke the other day. It was an ice-cold, Mexican Coke in a glass bottle. After 4+ years of no Cokes of any kind, I was shocked at how cloying it was. It tasted almost stale to me. I don't see myself ever lapsing back. If I want some caffeine, I either make a cup of coffee or take a Vivarin if I'm not at home. Odd how something I drank every single day for over 25 years now tastes bad.

Does Vivarin make you nauseous? I've never had positive experiences with caffeine pills. Wondering if it's different.

The same thing happens when you switch to diet soda and then one day drink a fully-leaded one. Too sweet, weird filmy after feel.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Yep. I can't drink the hard stuff any more. I know diet soda is poison, but I still consume it. I have cut back quite a bit, which I am happy about. I actually had a conversation with some NYC colleagues a couple weeks ago when they said they were confused to see me drinking Coke Zero. I admitted coffee consumption in moderation would certainly be healthier but it is a cultural marker I comply with because I value full participation in my religion. But if I ever stopped practicing, morning coffee would probably be the first change in my lifestyle.

Not that I recall, but it does do that to my wife and my oldest. Usually, if I get nauseous, it's from a migraine or from not eating all day. Given that I often take caffeine for migraines (Excedrin or Vivarin), it's possible that one condition overrides the other.

I have not been able to do it since the vbulletin update, but it may have to do with the style I view it on?
