Wow! The things you learn on Usenet. BTW, after seeing in print my
comment about crying in the bakery section of the store last night, I knew
I had to give myself a good kick in the butt and start taking better care
of myself.

I have, in front of me, a big bowl of plain Dannon's yogurt with DaVinci's
sugar-free vanilla syrup and a bunch of cinnamon mixed into it. Reminds me
of my mom's sour cream apple pies. (Thinking to self - check and see if
DaVinci's makes a sugar free apple flavored syrup)
