I am extremely anti-MLM type stuff..but this energy drink Spark by Advocare has been huge in helping me get off soda. 

 

Spark is indeed pretty damn tasty and effective. Grape sucks... orange rules... fruit punch is okay. 

 

Mango Strawberry and Mandarin Orange are the best followed by Fruit Punch.  Pink Lemonade is not very good. 

So not a domestic terrorist then?

 

ETA Reddit is getting crushed right now, can't get on at all.

Reddit is or was under a DDOS attack.

Good deal going on right now for several of the Schlage LiNK products. I just ordered this dead bolt brass starter kit for $98.99: My link Lowest Amazon price according to the camel is $290.00 Go here to see other lever and finish types $69 for locks only, $99 for starter kits with controllers: My link Yeah, I know, Best Buy. But I ordered online, free shipping, so I don't have to step foot in that place.

PRODUCT FEATURES Schlage LiNK Solution Monthly subscription available to remotely manage your home or business via most Internet-enabled mobile phones or computers. Also provides system status from virtually anywhere.

Do I have to buy some sort of subscription to control stuff via an app on my phone?

I believe so, which is one of the biggest negatives against Schlage.

Here is a strange story for you!! Never in all my life!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I went to pick up some groceries for the rest of the week and when I got in the checkout line I ended up behind a young couple with cart PILED high. As I watched them unload steak, seafood and other high end meats and veggies and fruit and snacks (did I mention snacks??!) I marveled at what their monthly budget must entail. At first I thought this must be a wealthy up and coming family but as I began chatting with them I soon realized not all was as I first surmised... Not only did the package not match but they began telling me about how great it is to "lay aside all responsibilities" and just kick back in life. When the bill totaled $520 and they swiped their food stamp debit card the lady looked at me and asked "don't you just love our president?" I had to swallow really hard. Now I don't begrudge helping and feeding the poor and destitute... I have been known to slip some $$ to someone who is obviously down and out but this seemed a little over the top. She then asked if I enjoyed it as well... Somewhere my face must have betrayed me because she asked me what was wrong. I kindly told her that I have never used food stamps so I am definitely not an expert on the matter. She promptly wondered if I "came from money"? I assured her I didn't. She asked how much my income is and though that was a bit much info for a grocery line, I told her. "oh h***!" she cried! "that's not sh**! You can't make it on that! Just you and your husband, right?" I thought she was gonna hyperventilate when I told her I have 5 kids, one recently married. "lady, you HAVE to go get some help!" she almost whimpered. I could tell this was painful for her to think about. I gently told her that though thick and thin we have somehow managed to feed our family well and when the $$ are all that is all you spend. At this point I seriously feared for her health! She actually grabbed on to her husband for support as they walked out. I paid my bill and lo and behold they were waiting for me when I came out. The lady nervously extended her hand and shoved a $10 bill in my hand. "you are just such a kind woman and We just feel really sorry for you and don't want to offend you since you work for your money and since we get $$$$ a week we want to give you this. I smiled and thanked them. There was nothing else to do. She went on "this is all the fault of the businesses! They just make all this money and won't share with the rest of us!" by that time I figured the fat was already in the fire and I gently but firmly and concisely told her I had once been a business owner and how it actually works. There are no "free rides" and business owners often risk everything they own to start a business and bring it to profitability. Somewhere toward the end I think something started to click with her. Looking me straight in the eye she asked, "are you telling me that since you work you are actually helping pay for my groceries?" (I had NOT-said that!) as I explained to her how that works I saw her looking at my $57 worth of simple staple foods in my cart and she literally started shaking. She looked at her silent husband and asked, "did you know this??" I took that opportune moment to speak a blessing over them and I gave her a hug and left. As I drove out I saw them standing with the trunk of their car open... Just looking at those groceries...
