Sugar free candy suggestions? (sm)

Posted By: Good daughter-in-law on 2006-01-13
In Reply to:

My father-in-law is diabetic and we are visiting him tomorrow.  I'd like to find him some yummy candy before I leave town.  Wal-Mart is the closest store to the interstate that is 24-hour.  Any suggestions for what I could find there?  Thanks.

Sugar Free Chocolates
Our Walmart carries Russell Stover Sugar Free Chocolates, and they are very good.
Be sure to keep areas dry and free of all sugar composites.

Walmart has a great selection of sugar-free candies.

Any suggestions where I can obtain free invoicing software, or reasonably priced. nm

Sugar is necessary!
I eat jelly belly jelly beans to keep me going and it works! Love working at home in my office off my bedroom and do not miss communting one bit especially with the winter upon us soon!
Milk and sugar

Some sugar maybe? Or is that for too salty?

candy
how bout Bonomo turkish taffy, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. De-lish.
Candy and gum
I'd have to say absolutely yes!!! Especially the candy clicking on the teeth. And just plain eating gets on my nerves. Guess they just don't realize that there is an actual person on the other end having to listen to this junk.

Oh, and cussing too. I absolutely hate it when they start cussing!
never mind. It is fingerstick sugar and KVO

Sorry for typos... On a sugar high!

If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 


 


Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too. 


Paul is still eye candy, even in his 60s. nm

hard candy
A wise old pediatrician told me long ago if you like hard candy, buy Life Savers - there is a reason for the name of that candy, hole in the middle, lets you breathe if stuck in your throat he said. Hot tea and white bread will help those problems. I had a child inhale a chocolate small easter egg and I had to tip him upside down as heimlich did not work, and he spit it out. It is very scary and I hope you are okay. take care and buy some life savers............
Congrats. See's is the BEST candy.

ROFL! Using sugar to fuel your MT fingers?
I will admit to having a jar of Bit o' Honeys and Hershey kisses on my desk, but I only have one per day.  I'm happy right where I am, too.  I love working at home.  We've got huge windows and a sliding glass door, and I have total control of the thermostat.  It's nothing like any of my other jobs where it was always too hot or too cold and we never got to see the daylight. 
Coke and pretzels!! Sugar and Salt will

I especially agree with taking ALL sugar out of your diet.

Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Boric acid plus same amount of sugar to
get the ants to take the boric acid (Mule Team Borax).  Works like a charm.  We had carpenter ants years ago, and exterminator wanted $700 back then to get rid of them.  As just a fluke, I was listening to a radio talkshow after the call to the $700 exterminator, and they mentioned Mule Team Borax with same amount of sugar applied around the house, and make sure children or pets will not get into it. 
stay away from sugar and take glucosamine chondroiten.

OMG--1000 calories and 10 grams of sugar.

Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Caffeine and sugar had negative effect

My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift:  I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result.  Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response.  Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before.  So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift.  I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution.  Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.


Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock.  I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night. 


The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it.  I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time.  I realize this is a fantasy.


 


Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

My best advice for arthritis. Take sugar out of your diet. You will not believe the difference it

I could NEVER trust myself around 10,000 candy corn, or even 100! they'd be gone in no time

but I would lie and say your wart is very becoming on you....in return for maybe 10 candy corn and about 5 of those pumpkin things

Just a splash of skim milk. No sugar, creamer or flavorings.

OMG, I never made the connection but I think you're right - sugar = big line counts = $$$$$ Than

Brooke is there for the guys. Eye candy like Dave Navarro.
Although I must admit Dave adds a lot more to the show than Brooke, I do understand why she is there. Something for everybody to draw a crowd.
Milk chocolate. Forget the rest of the candy.
I like most of the mini chocolate bars, but especially Butterfinger, KitKat, and Mr. Goodbar.
I've seen people put a sign up that says "OUT OF CANDY"
and that usually does the trick.
I hear mine suck hard candy all day. LOL sm
He's also done a few of those breathier burps. Yuck You'd think with his ability to edit over the dictation, he'd want to get rid of them, or at least say excuse me. LOL

Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.

I feel much, much better now :)
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
