Nutrasweet, Splenda,  Aspartame and Sweet and Low are all low calorie/no sugar sweeteners.  So what is the difference and why be so angry if it is just possibly personal preference?  if you wife, boyfriend or girlfriend insists on Splenda just agree.  But tell him or her not to be so angry about something so obviously simple. What? Are they OCD? Do you have to demand that they wash the dishes with the Oxiclean  pad with the  refillable soap and the sponge on the end? What about accepting clean dishes washed with the Palmolive(TM) Brillo sponge? They still sell them I think.   What matters most is that the dishes are washed and everybody is happy.  But, you don't bake cakes. She does and she offers you two or three slices and says help yourself.  So, use her Oxiclean pad and relax. She's apparently very besotted with you; you super Green Lantern(TM).

If you have an ex girlfriend or  wife that insists on testing her love 10 years after you broke up with some kind of antebellum or Cosmopolitan magazine love games, just remind her that she has not seen you in ten years and you might be a Priest now or an Astronaut on a 10 year  deployment on a space station but evidently she is trying to stay uh close; hence your children have found gobs of saliva in mayonnaise jars; gross!  The only love test that you ever followed was written in 1st Corinthians 13.  You had liked her because she was a good dvd movie friend  for 8 weeks in a row; which is quite a blessing if you can be so relaxed. But, maybe such a dvd friend of the opposite gender is quite replaceable.  Be thankful for your new dvd movie and coffee friend.  If you order Chinese, sit in and split the bill or take turns with tip.  You are in a nice cosy place with each other.  You can't live more than 100 years on average roughly. So, be thankful and if she or he looks back like Lot's wife, trust God.  You treated others as you wish to be treated. You tried to make up  after the break up (its not a game for fools always but for people who are trying to overcome their narcissism and tremendous sense of self. I read it in Cosmo or Men's Health or Scientific American and I know it is so confusing) and he or she said no.  Go on and remember to enjoy the time.
