Absolutely not.

I am strong.  I gave one can away and the rest are still out there in my Winder Dairy cooler.  Come on over and help yourself to an icy cold beverage!

This is probably an interesting sociological study for someone—Netter?? You out there??  Is Dr. Pepper so a part of my personality that my long-time friends are downright freaked out at the possibility that I might be able to still be the same Kate without the Dr?   Have I lost some of my appeal because now I’m the Dr. Pepper teetotaler?  Maybe I’m not as fun now.  Or maybe I have planted a seed of doubt in poor Mike’s mind.  Yeah, that must be it.  Doubt is creeping in.  Is Dr. Pepper true?  If Kate can live without it then can Mike live without Mountain Dew?  Is Mountain Dew true???  OH MY GOSH!  THE SKY IS FALLING!

I found this quote:
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
Buddha

I hope my friendships aren’t disintegrating over my ended relationship with Dr. Pepper.  Actually, I think they are just fine as evidenced by the fact that a friend who is kind of notoriously low-effort actually purchased me some soda, found some snappy pictures and wrote a funny note, found a girl to write another funny note, bought a bag of ice, hid my empty milk bottles somewhere (where are those anyway?) and prowled around my house sometime in the middle of the night to play an awesome prank.  One point for you Mike.

Seriously, someone come over and take this stuff away from me.  I am in a weakened state of illness today and I will admit to being ever so slightly tempted.  For just a second.  But I remain pure and untainted.
