Carrot kiwi-aloe? I think it IS ointment, or at any rate lotion. My Mom used to have that lotion, if I remember correctly. Don’t know why it got packaged in a juice box.

So I guess Petie didn’t win the game after all. But at least he got to use his head.

Ironically, the kids in my youth group are all into Aloe water. It looks disgusting, but they swear they love it.

I have a little Aloe drink every morning. Mix it into the fresh squeezed Orange juice.

If they don’t keep score, that means the Squirrels are UNDEFEATED!!!!!!!!

If not for the carrot, I don’t think it would be all that bad. Aloe tastes kind of like a bitter water and Kiwi is pretty good… throw some strawberry in with those and it would probably taste great!

Ah, the score was “fun to fun”, as they said on the Drew Cary Show. (Until Drew taught his nephew to play for real!)

Kiwi-Aloe? Isn’t that one of Bruce Willis’ daughters?

When I was coaching kids’ soccer, “don’t keep score” meant every single kid knew exactly how badly we had been beaten but we weren’t allowed to talk about it (or at least not within earshot of the adults).

YUCK! I bet Becham doesn’t have to drink ointment flavored juice. That could be why he plays so badly. ;-)

Aloe is very good for the skin. Taken internally, it is a powerful laxative. I hope there isn’t very much aloe in that….-Cougar :{)

If Pete was from Brazil would his name be spelled “Pelé”?

I mix aloe with skin creams but even though I’m a “health nut” I don’t care to drink it. I’m working on gradually improving every aspect of my health -this year I got total cholesterol to 181 (after many years over 250) and foods can do a lot!
