Steve, congrats. That's a great story to read. I think that for 95% you should add a + to that A. And a commendation from the Principal.

Per your advice I got myself a tub of Simply Thick. It certainly works as you noted. Easy to use and stays in solution. My only beef with it is the taste, which I'm assuming comes from the xanthan gum that forms its base. Since I use it only in thin liquids, and pretty much only drink water and coffee and sometimes juice, I've found that for the former it helps to cut it with apple juice. But I imagine that in time, like most things, I'll become accustomed to it.

Keep up the great work!
