I had never seen that it says Diet Scales because we have always used this for weighing letters and parcels.

So it's not like I didn't know that Diet Coke was horrible for you but I still continued to drink it. Around 6-8 a day for about 10 years. That's A LOT of Diet Coke.
I recently decided to try and cut back. I though that getting down to 1 or 2 a day would be perfectly fine and then my boyfriend told me all of this really disturbing stuff about it that I never knew. I mean I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was THAT bad. So no more!
Goodbye old friend, though you are horrible for me, I will sadly still miss you!
Oh and apparently it actually makes you GAIN weight, so keep that in mind for those who drink it for the zero calories.
Thank you so much 'toby2tot' for giving the name of this flower.
This plant is occasionally called the "Fairy Iris" because the fragile white petals not only look like fairy wings, but also have a tendency to disappear mysteriously overnight!
I think I dont know what I want :))
I am buying diet books with the recipe books, together...
Or maybe I know how to balance my life ;)
Ok, I admit it. I dont have the opportunities to get some cool pics of cool places, this is what I have at home:D

Until I decided to post this photo, I called these guys Tomato Hornworms...turns out I've been wrong about that for *years*. They're *Tobacco* Hornworms. Who knew? Well, not me.
======================
From Wikipedia:
Manduca sexta is a moth of the family Sphingidae present through much of the American continent. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1763 Centuria Insectorum.
Commonly known as the Carolina sphinx moth and the tobacco hawk moth (as adults) and the tobacco hornworm and the goliath worm (as larvae), it is closely related to and often confused with the very similar tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata); the larvae of both feed on the foliage of various plants of the family Solanaceae. The tobacco hornworm is sometimes kept as a pet by children throughout its range. The larvae of these species can be distinguished by their lateral markings: Tomato hornworms have eight V-shaped white markings with no borders; tobacco hornworms have seven white diagonal lines with a black border. Additionally, tobacco hornworms have red horns, while tomato hornworms have dark blue or black horns. A mnemonic to remember the markings is tobacco hornworms have straight white lines like cigarettes, while tomato hornworms have V-shaped markings (as in "vine-ripened" tomatoes).
Larva:
M. sexta larvae are green and grow up to 70 millimeters in length. Under laboratory conditions, when fed a wheat-germ-based diet, larvae are turquoise due to a lack of pigments in their diet. M. sexta hemolymph (blood) contains the blue-colored protein insecticyanin. When the larva feeds on plants, it ingests pigmentacious carotenoids. Carotenoids are primarily yellow in hue. The resulting combination is green.
During the larval stage, M. sexta caterpillars feed on plants of the family Solanaceae, principally tobacco, tomatoes and members of the genus Datura. M. sexta has five larval instars, which are separated by ecdysis (molting), but may add larval instars when nutrient conditions are poor. Near the end of this stage, the caterpillar seeks a location for pupation, burrows underground, and pupates. The searching behaviour is known as "wandering". The imminence of pupation suggested behaviorally by the wandering can be anatomically confirmed by spotting the heart (aorta), which is a long, pulsating vessel running along the length of the caterpillar's dorsal side. The heart becomes visible through the skin just as the caterpillar is reaching the end of the final instar.
A common biological control for hornworms is the parasitic braconid wasp Cotesia congregata, which lays its eggs in the bodies of the hornworms. The wasp larvae feed internally and emerge from the body to spin their cocoons. Parasitized hornworms are often seen covered with multiple white, cottony wasp cocoons, which are often mistaken for large eggs. A wasp species, Polistes erythrocephalus, feeds on hornworm larvae.
