Hi Johnie!  I feel your pain 

  I have had all my writings disapear too.  Usually, it was because the photo was to large.  I forced the habit of copying everything before I post it.
Thanks for the extra reply!!
Question:  Is the soda bags different than the mix that I will need?  What mix do I need?  The soda bags are just syrup....correct? 
Do you mix water and a syrup bag or do you buy a jug of syrup and mix a 5 to 1 ratio?? (5 0z water to 1 oz of syrup)

It's 5:1 for regular soda,  &   5.4/5.5:1 for diet soda
