NCOT, I think we will agree to disagree. :). otaneresp - looking over my notes, it took at least 7 days to get to any sort of formed motion, and another week to settle into a routine....
I think NCOT is giving the drinks a bad name. I've been on the elemental 028 drinks, and they don't taste that bad at all. I ended up freezing them as well - it tastes just like ice cream then. As...
