Hi Alice.

I knew I liked you. I don't drink much water either. I think it's boring 
and
nasty. The flavored water is good, but my basic sugar-free drink is 
Crystal
Lite Lemonade.

Thanks
I put it out there so I could get a response. My brother sent it
(trying to scare me) I'm sure. See he thinks I drink too much diet
soft drinks. I have never been much of a water drinker, and now even
the flavored water I drink has it in it.
So thanks
Alice
