America: the book--the Calendar! strikes again!

Presidential Nicknames: Millard Fillmore
"Mr. Norris"

Fillmore, our 13th president, lived for eighteen years with a pair of magical talking cats, who for reasons known only to them insisted on calling their human master "Mr. Norris." Denise, the female of the pair, was also influential in the foreign policy of the Fillmore Administration, a period later dubbed by historians as "The Era of the President Who Was Batshit Insane."

Perhaps three posts in one morning is bordering on the ridiculous, but I have had an interesting discovery, and I wanted to sound out for others who've had the same experience.

Most of you who will be reading this know that I've recently been found out as having a couple of cavities. This has made me paranoid about sugar ruining my teeth, so when I get my cuppa at work, I've stopped dumping three sugars into it and tried using the sugar substitute instead. The one they offer at my work is Sweet and Low. I started off with three to match my sugar intake, then reduced it to two, and I'm considering one, maybe even a half after this morning. My god, "Sweet and Low" is an apt name. It's amazing how little of the stuff makes a cup of tea sweeter'n candy.

Has anyone else ever used the stuff and had their teeth ache after? It was bad enough I broke out the toothbrush I got for free from my cleaning (which is a pain as I have to use bottled water to brush because of the water around here...).

Happy International Women's Day!

Uh, title says it all, I think. Regardless of whether you feel like singling women out today negates the chances of them ever being treated as just the same as men, it's still nice to get the recognition. Oh, hey, women are cool. Like that.
