Re: Cutting out caffeine
Nothing I drink contains caffeine except coke if I'm driving a long way. That's not for health reasons but because I don't like the drinks it's found in. I haven't noticed any benefits from not...

Re: My Minicity
^ Thanks Firemonkey. I don't think mine's going to grow that much as I don't have a blog or many people to send the links to. But I'd rather have a quaint village than a sprawling metropolis!

Re: How to make a important phone call
I echo biscuits advise and would write it all down. Think of the questions they might ask you and your answers. I still do that if I'm really anxious about phoning someone.
