I’ll update you guys tomorrow, work does not end and I’ve drank upwards of 700 mg caffeine today with absolutely no effect. Not good!! 
I’m a bit concerned with how sweet various almond milk brands taste. Tastes like they dumped an entire 1 pound bag of Imperial sugar in some of these cartons.
What does the nutritional info on the carton say?
IIRC pure almond milk shouldn’t taste sweet- in fact I don’t recall it tasting like much of anything.
When they were making vanilla and chocolate almond milk,
Milk is only tasty when there’s sugar involved, whether it be lactose or fructose. Plain almond milk is gross. To me, at least.

And pointless. Nutritional content is as close to zero as makes no odds.
That we call it milk and not juice is brilliant marketing.

I believe it to be illegal in many countries as what can be called “milk” is tightly regulated.
EDIT: I think flavoured water is more accurate than juice btw.
Only if we want to get into the debate on if almonds are a fruit or a nut.
(Fresh) savory soy milk is pretty good though
Perhaps, I avoid soy milk like the plague.

I came to realize how pointless it is too, but I am violently lactose intolerant. Still can’t seem to find a good brand. Even the lactose free ones still give my stomach issues.
I get the typical silk brand. 7g of sugar. But I’m calling sliiiigght Bullshit.
To be honest I’d rather have a gallon of horchata, and just pour that over my cereal. Every time I go to like a Michoacána and ask if they have large amounts of horchata they tell me no.
If I started seeing that on grocery shelves I’d buy it in bulk
The Coconut Water people are going to hunt you down and silence you for that one.
Any luck with Fairlife? I switched to that and have found it pleasant.
Had this happen to me in the gym this morning, so here goes:
There should be a required 1 hour class on spotting prior to ever being allowed to enter a gym. At least 1 time. People should know how to properly hand off weight and spot. This pisses me off to no end when I ask someone to do something as simple as help me out of the rack and they get all grabby with the weight. I bench with spot bars. If I can’t get it, I can dump it on the bar and everything is fine. Don’t touch my fucking bar unless you’re handing it out to me or helping me re-rack it.
AAAHHHHH!!!

When I lived with my mom she always bought that. Small amounts of it were okay.
I’d put it in a small bowl of cereal or my coffee, but If i tried to drink it multiple times during the day, I’d still wind up with stomach issues.

Confession: I’ve never traveled abroad and I feel I would like to do it this summer.
I’m thinking of going to the UK, for a week or two. The thing is that I don’t think any of my friends will be able to come with me, and the thought of traveling abroad, alone, and ending up in a place that I don’t know, not knowing anyone there either, is holding me back.

Alright: life update. 3 weeks of constant work has led to at least a weekend of peace and quiet. Aced all my tests so far, more testing next week. Pulled a fair amount of all-nighters to finish the year strong, but I did it. Also, I came through and did a group final project by myself an hour before I was due to present because my group kicked me out of the project for not doing my share of the work early enough. I’d understand their reasoning if they didn’t know me, but:
-
I told them everything about the situation (have to devote a lot of energy to my friend to make sure she doesn’t end up killing herself or getting molested/raped again) and when I would be doing my share of the project. I trusted them enough to level with them about everything, because I thought they were decent enough people to at least NOT hang me out to dry. I’ve known them for 3+ years and had a decent, bordering on good, relationship with them.
-
I’ve worked with them numerous times in the past, and I’m significantly smarter than all of them. I’ve done all the work on projects that were supposed to be split among us many, many times and gotten us all A’s.
-
I offered to do my share of the work numerous times, and after first looking at what they’d done up to that point; to fix the stuff they did wrong. They then removed my email from our Google Slides presentation after abruptly and unanimously voting among themselves to kick me out of the group.
I ended up making my own presentation, which was significantly better than the slop they put together. I did better work by myself in an hour than the three of those fucking morons could do in three days. Got a better grade because of it. I guess the universe works in mysterious ways.
I also settled the situation with my friend. I leveled with her about speaking to her other best friend, and she was at first upset but eventually came around. I will continue to gently encourage her to report the situation (still not sure if I believe she wasn’t raped, but I hope she wasn’t) and her molester coworker, but we’ve agreed that her mother will always be with her at the stable (because she’s admitted to me that he hasn’t given her a problem so long as she’s stayed within her mother’s general vicinity) and I convinced her to talk to her sponsors about the situation, which she’s done. Her horse is being relocated in 2 weeks or so. She is also fairly positive that her coworker hasn’t molested any of the younger children working with her, because she has a very close relationship with the 12-13 year olds working there and they have been their normal, perky selves. Her mental state is significantly better than it was a week or so ago.
I’m glad I was able to be there for her, and thank you guys for all of your advice.
