Okay, I'll stop being cynical now. Of course a blind person can take a cab and operate out of the back window. I just had it in my head that the driver was the one using the machine.

I have no problem with the handicapped spaces at the skating rink or rock climbing wall. Probably because some days I feel like my job is full-time chauffeur to my children, and I don't have to do the things

Well, the thing is, I LIKE Diet Coke. It's my favorite thing to drink. So I'll always order that, whether I'm having a low-calorie meal or a high one.

I see no taste's difference between casual Coke and diet one. And 20-30 calories don't play any role.

There is a HUGE tast difference between the two! And there are far more than 30 calories in a can of regular Coke.

Normal Coke or Diet Coke..there is not much difference in it.. both of them make fat...sad but true.. better drink milk;)

Do you think that milk contains less calories than Coke? But no way milk is better for a human's organism.
