The Coffee Thread

[NurseBettyLu]

Might not be on much longer, this stewpid cold is really kicking my butt. Rats. Tea is gone. I'd make another cup, but that was all the honey.

[jesus loves me]

Well, say goodnight and go rest! Be sure you get in some honey. I have to decide if I want my coffee hot or iced tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

If it were me, that would be hot, very soothing for the throat. Nighty-night!

[jesus loves me]

Night, Beth. Sleep well and am praying tomorrow you feel a lot better. I believe I will have hot tonight as well. I'm not really in the mood for a cold drink.

[Genna14]

Now I make sure there's a backup supply of both.
I had crackers and peanut butter earlier. Eventually I just said, screw the crackers and ate the peanut butter. It made me think of you. ;)

[jesus loves me]

IMO, the only PROPER way to eat peanut butter is with a spoon stuck in the jar!

[jesus loves me]

After hearing we did NOT win as artist of the year :( (what a rip off), I am having mudslide coffee tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

I sure need something stronger than tea. *pouts*

[jesus loves me]

Well, come on up and we'll both do mudslide coffee or perhaps just the Bailey's. What a crummy night.:mad: :mad:

[NurseBettyLu]

The performances were outstanding, however. I'm sure they will be on YouTube before too long. I shall download them with RealPlayer, and have them on my hard drive for future enjoyment.

[jesus loves me]

The performances were outstanding, however. I'm sure they will be on YouTube before too long. I shall download them with RealPlayer, and have them on my hard drive for future enjoyment.Shall wait to see THEM sing. Don't like anyone else.

[NurseBettyLu]

I thought Brandon Heath did a nice job. he has a lovely voice.

[jesus loves me]

I checked him out on YouTube tonight. Voice is nice, music is boring. I'm just too into Skynyrd and the Black Crowes perhaps. Will be making my drowning my sorrows mudslide iced tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds tasty, think I'll make mine a nice tall Nyquil.

[jesus loves me]

I must admit, my mudslide coffee sounds better than your tall Nyquil. Are you doing any better today?

[NurseBettyLu]

I was okay till I tried to go grocery shopping. Short of breath and cough alot, this too shall pass.

[jesus loves me]

Did you get any coffee in you at all today? I always worry when you can't drink it. Makes me think you're heading for Glory.

[NurseBettyLu]

A cup of silk this am, au natural. Unusual for me to drink it black, but dairy always makes my congestion worse.

[jesus loves me]

Ok, I feel better knowing you had some silk. I know, dairy is bad when you have anything like that. Checked the store again and still no Silk on the shelf:(

[NurseBettyLu]

Not good. Not good at all.

[jesus loves me]

I still haven't gone to their website to see if there's any news about it such as they are no longer going to make it. When it's hard to get at different stores in suburbia, that's worrisome to say the least.

[NurseBettyLu]

I haven't heard anything like that. It's still readily available down here.

[jesus loves me]

The south ALWAYS has more variety and more stuff than the north. When we were in Nashville it was grocery nirvana.

[NurseBettyLu]

You belong down here. Wal-Mart is less than three miles from my house, and I go every week. Winn-Dixie is within an easy walk. And Jimmy Lowe's is produce heaven. And the seafood man parks in his parking lot and sells the bounty of the whole Gulf of Mexico from the back of his pickup truck. He's there every Thursday and Friday. But don't tell anybody, sneak out real quiet-like. If word gets out in them northern parts, we'll be inundated.

[jesus loves me]

My lips are sealed. Yeah, I'd be right happy there. I can sneak out REAL easy. With cell phones no one would even know I was gone!:D

[NurseBettyLu]

Tippytoe out and don't slam the door. I'll leave the porch light on.

[jesus loves me]

Sounds like a plan to me. I want shrimp tomorrow, by the way. I have to go soon. Still need to make mudslide coffee and my shaking is bad today so I have to take more clonopin. Then I totally space out.

[NurseBettyLu]

I need to go as well. I'm wheezing, need albuterol. Hate albuterol, makes my heart race. Starting mucinex tomorrow. I hate being sick. 3-11 tomorrow, might be here late.

[jesus loves me]

I use albuterol as well when I get sick or when a chemical sets off asthma. I have asthma only when I come into contact with certain chemicals. That thankfully doesn't affect my heart (surprise). Not sure about me tomorrow late. See my best friend early Sat. am. This time he's going to show me how to use an I-Tunes card to download Skynyrd and to do whatever it is I need to do on the 3D dvd. See ya when I see ya!

[NurseBettyLu]

Home from work. Time for nyquil.

[Genna14]

I haven't had my evenin cuppa.......*gasp*

[jesus loves me]

I did something right on my mac today! *raises coffee mug in celebration*

[NurseBettyLu]

Here's to ya!

[jesus loves me]

Thanks. I lost i-Tunes once more and reinstalled it without panic. Even downloaded another Skynyrd song in the process. Need coffee hot tonight. The temp went from 68 to 48 in 2 hours. Still some rain and more to come.

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffeeing up for tonight. The coffee helps my chest, too. Makes sense, as albuterol metabolizes into mega-caffeine. Any time your chest is congested, up your intake of strong, black coffee and see if it doesn't help.

[jesus loves me]

Black, as in NO creamer, No sugar?:eek: I have old albuterol thankfully, my sis says the new stuff is harder to use.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sugar, maybe. Dairy makes secretions thicker and harder to clear, so it couteracts what you're trying to do with the coffee.

[jesus loves me]

I knew about dairy but isn't creamer NON-dairy?

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't know...Maybe I'll run an experiment and see. I'll let you know.

[jesus loves me]

Let me know what you come up with. Now that swine flu may hit us one and all, I wish to know if I can use creamer or if it will make me choke more.

[jesus loves me]

Made "Starbucks" cookies. Took chocolate chip cookie recipe (half batch for just me) added macadamia nuts and then poured in a package of Starbucks "Via' Italian Roast. As their instant coffee is really microground coffee beans, it dissolved in the dough easy. That was THE best raw cookie dough and the cookies are terrific too!:D

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't want coffee.

[jesus loves me]

I don't want coffee.I know means you're really sick. PRAYING. Get better soon.

[NurseBettyLu]

Ooh, look at the pretty light...

[Genna14]

ooo shiny!!

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, look at the pretty light...NO LIGHTS, BETH! Am having iced coffee tonight. Will feel at ease when you're drinking coffee again!:P

[NurseBettyLu]

Funny, the afterlife smells like coffee. Must be heaven...

[Genna14]

i haz a coffeez!!!! o.O

[NurseBettyLu]

I haz a coff. And some srsly nasty tea to make it better.

[jesus loves me]

Funny, the afterlife smells like coffee. Must be heaven...If you smell coffee, you're definitely in the right place!:P

[Genna14]

*grumbles*

[NurseBettyLu]

Drinking more nasty tea. Tastes like feet smell. But it makes me stop coughing.

[jesus loves me]

Drinking more nasty tea. Tastes like feet smell. But it makes me stop coughing.I don't know if I could do that no matter how bad I felt! TWO cans of Black Silk appeared on the shelf and I got one. Same price on sale as Wal-Mart's regular price. I went to Folger's website and they don't even list it sold in my zip code.

[NurseBettyLu]

I had coffee this am. Take me off the critical list.

[jesus loves me]

I had coffee this am. Take me off the critical list.Now I know one of us is going to be ok. If I can make my heart settle down, tonight I'm due to open a FRESH can of Black Silk. I can almost smell it now. Have to go for the night though. Not doing so good right at the moment.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm having nasty tea. I combined it with a bag of sleepytime hoping to improve the flavor, but I think all I've accomplished is to ruin a cup of sleepytime. *sip* Yup, that's exactly what I've done.

[thirday]

I'm having nasty tea. I combined it with a bag of sleepytime hoping to improve the flavor, but I think all I've accomplished is to ruin a cup of sleepytime. *sip* Yup, that's exactly what I've done.

Well for me, the only way to ruin tea is to give me some. I will spew out of my mouth. Do not like tea at all!! Now I need some coffee to get my mind back on track.

[Salome]

Well for me, the only way to ruin tea is to give me some. I will spew out of my mouth. Do not like tea at all!! Now I need some coffee to get my mind back on track.

AMEN BROTHER!!

[NurseBettyLu]

But this particular tea makes me stop coughing. If you'd been coughing like I have the last few days, you'd drink pond scum to stop.

[Salome]

But this particular tea makes me stop coughing. If you'd been coughing like I have the last few days, you'd drink pond scum to stop.

perhaps.

do you like nyquil? that usually makes me stop during the night.
:( get well soon friendly.

[ZippyApplePants]

But this particular tea makes me stop coughing. If you'd been coughing like I have the last few days, you'd drink pond scum to stop.

I'd rather have the tea.

[NurseBettyLu]

The tea is so bad you drink the nyquil just to get the taste out of your mouth.

[Salome]

HAHAHAHA!! Now that is some pretty bad tea!!! :D

[ZippyApplePants]

The tea is so bad you drink the nyquil just to get the taste out of your mouth.

What would you drink to get the pond scum taste out of your mouth?

[NurseBettyLu]

More tea.

[ZippyApplePants]

This is a viscous cycle.

[NurseBettyLu]

Had black silk with hazelnut creamer this am. A definite improvement over feet tea.

[Genna14]

And suddenly we're discussing tea instead of coffee. Loons. *shakes head*

[Salome]

Had black silk with hazelnut creamer this am. A definite improvement over feet tea.

as in Foldgers?

[3D NC fan]

as in Foldgers?

Yes, Beth often speaks of the Folgers Black Silk. :)

[Salome]

well, i have to say, it's the coffee I'm always looking for at the grocery.

[NurseBettyLu]

IMO the perfect coffee.

[Genna14]

I am not supposed to be drinking caffiene after 8. Its 8:30 and I'm drinking caffienated coffee. Bad idea? Probably..

[Salome]

IMO the perfect coffee.

I was glad to have found it.

Have Fun Genna!! Keep it quiet while the rest of us are sleeping!! :P

[thirday]

On my way to go get some coffee. Be right back.

[NurseBettyLu]

Just put a fresh pot on. Y'all come on over!

[thirday]

Just seen this on the internet

What to do with those used coffee grounds;

A Cup of Joe Goes a Long Way

You’d be surprised at just how many different methods have worked for people:

Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a Q-tip.
Sprinkle around areas where pesky insects, slugs and snails dwell to drive them away.
Mix with soil as a natural fertilizer for plants.
Dye clothing or paper.
Rub into your dog as an organic flea dip.
Fill old nylons and hang in your closet or fridge to repel odors.
Use to fill old pin cushions.
Scrub away grease and grime from pots and pans.
Throw on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to reduce dust from spreading.
Feed to worms to help with your garden.
Rub on your hands to eliminate odors.

And my favorite!
Mix ¼ grinds with one egg white and massage onto face like a mud pack.

[jesus loves me]

Just put a fresh pot on. Y'all come on over!Be there a.s.a.p. I have cream cheese pudding cake. Will that do as a treat?

You go first and let me know what it's like!! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Laurie's back! Mudslides, anybody?

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, that's a good thought! My Bailey's getting mighty low but I think I have a couple more slugs in it. I tell you, opening a new can of Black Silk has the most wonderful smell.

[NurseBettyLu]

I've got almost a whole bottle, don't waste yours.

[jesus loves me]

Deal!:D :D :D :D Think I'm having mine iced tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, it's kinda warm. Hey! Mudslide milkshakes!

[jesus loves me]

I don't have any ice cream!:(

[NurseBettyLu]

I'll pick some up on my way.

[jesus loves me]

I have chocolate syrup yet. Black Silk, Bailey's, syrup and ice cream. May have a large and whipped cream on it?

[NurseBettyLu]

And two cherries on top.

[jesus loves me]

I can hardly wait! I did find that Black Silk DOES make the best coffee drinks.

[NurseBettyLu]

Of course it does! You start out with the best coffee, you can't miss!

[jesus loves me]

*giggles* I think as a whole, I prefer Black Silk to Starbucks as it is more versatile in coffee drinks. That Via 'instant' from Starbucks in baked goods is excellent though - even better than using the coffee brewed.

[NurseBettyLu]

Ahh, charyucks. I like espresso powdwer for cooking. More flavorful.

[jesus loves me]

I tried to find that and we don't have it (surprise). The Via is actually coffee beans microground. I get the Italian roast which is about as close to espresso powder as I'm going to get.

[NurseBettyLu]

Time for one more cuppa before I go.

[jesus loves me]

Getting near my time for mudslide then. The new version of my heart medication doesn't say I can't have the little bit of alcohol in it so I should be able to 'slide' while I take my meds and my low dose aspirin. I did NOT miss a day with coffee even with my heart orbiting the earth.

[NurseBettyLu]

Good for you. Whoops, there goes the last sip...ooh, nothing sadder than an empty coffee cup. Time for shoes and sox, I guess.

[jesus loves me]

Have a good night, Beth. Hopefully I can be here tomorrow. *gets ready to take meds and make mudslide coffee*

[NurseBettyLu]

Happy coffeeing! Hope to be here tomorrow as I'm off tomorrow.

[Genna14]

ya'll forgot the caramel sauce and kevin..i mean uh......

[ZooKeeper]

I can't believe this thread is still here! I have been out for awhile...
SO, we're making Tiramisu tomorrow and I refuse to pay for Coffee Liquer. So what do we use? MORE COFFEE! Oh yum! Served with...MORE COFFEE!

[Salome]

I had one of the best tiramisu's last night. it is kind of fun seeing the different ways different restaurants make the stuff ...... what luck that a place here in my town makes it to my liking!! And it was huge ol piece. yummmmmm.

[ZippyApplePants]

ya'll forgot the caramel sauce and kevin..i mean uh......

Yeah, I know what you meant you naughty girl! :P :D

[thirday]

Wife's gotta run to the store, I'll have her grap me a cup of java. Gotta have some ready this afternoon, mom-in-law coming for dinner. She a big coffee drinker.

[NurseBettyLu]

I have almost a full bottle of kahlua you may borrow just a dram. Wow, thassalotta coffee! Your eyes are vibrating...

[jesus loves me]

Did you say you have a bottle of kahlua? :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Yup, got it for Christmas.

[jesus loves me]

And you still have some?:P

[Salome]

And you still have some?:P

HAHAHAHA!! :D

I mean .........

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, I know what you meant.

[jesus loves me]

Coffee will now taste even better - way ahead on groceries this month so bought me a LARGE Starbucks mug. Cold enough tonight to try it out.

[NurseBettyLu]

Tea just beeped. Added some ginger tonight b/c tummy is a bit unhappy.

[jesus loves me]

I believe I hear my new Starbucks mug calling, "try me!". Have to go soon. The new form of my heart drug may be working better than the old but it seems to make me tired ( one of the side effects)

[NurseBettyLu]

Most side efeccts tend to diminish as your body adjusts to a new drug, be patient. In the meantime, coffee up. You'll feel better. Caffeine will help raise your seratonin levels, thereby acting as a natural mood stabalizer. My tea is much improved as I have left out the respiratory herbs and added a little ginger to the sleepytime for my tum. Tum is already happier.

[jesus loves me]

Boy that tea worked fast! Glad you found something. I usually have to hope Altoids work! Are you working tomorrow?

[NurseBettyLu]

Altoids are such a strong mint they probably will irritate an already angry stomach. Make a simple tea out of candied ginger, adjust the strength until the taste suits you. Will have to do a very long steep, at least five minutes. Especially good for a sour stomach or nausea. A real lifesaver for motion sickness, and I put every pregnant lady and chemo patient I know on it.

[jesus loves me]

Thanks. I'm willing to give it a shot. I like ginger in things like that or baked goods and steeping is no problem. I have to go for the night. Hopefully tomorrow. My new mug is a 16 oz. and it's heavy to begin with so with the way I shake, my mac would be in danger of getting coffee in it.

[NurseBettyLu]

'Night! Careful with your new mug, both hands. Happy coffeeing!

[ZooKeeper]

I have almost a full bottle of kahlua you may borrow just a dram. Wow, thassalotta coffee! Your eyes are vibrating...

Why thanky you! Maybe next time! Kahlua would have tasted WONDERFUL except my kids were eating it, too! :eek: The coffee was "bad" enough for them but the Tiramisu was perfect! Delish!

[lilmikey]

I had a cup of some good coffee the other day

[rossid]

First of all is it okay that i "stole" your avatar?

QT seemed to be out of Puma De Oaxaca but a different store had it this morning.

[Genna14]

Yeah, I know what you meant you naughty girl! :P :D
I'd probly just sit and stare at him anyway, completely forgetting about the caramel sauce. :P

[jesus loves me]

Why thanky you! Maybe next time! Kahlua would have tasted WONDERFUL except my kids were eating it, too! :eek: The coffee was "bad" enough for them but the Tiramisu was perfect! Delish!Mmm, tiramisu. Yum, yum. Would've enjoyed a piece myself.

[ZooKeeper]

Mmm, tiramisu. Yum, yum. Would've enjoyed a piece myself.

It's even better when my DD makes chocolate cages to go around the bee-yoo-ti-ful dessert after it's been formed in a PVC pipe! We are, Oh, so gourmet!

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmm, hot milk tonight.

[Genna14]

i love warm milk

[NurseBettyLu]

But no ketchup. Right?

[Genna14]

no ketchup......

i needs extra coffee today! nascar decided it didn't like what nascarview.com was doing so they had to shut down! *cries*

[jesus loves me]

Poor dear. They're idiots. Perhaps a little something in the coffee may help?

[pamcharlie]

I had a lovely hot cup of tea yesterday on the plane i had some yummy organic green tea in australia and even had some lipton green tea at the resort too .

Hey! You're on the wrong thread! Go to the TEA thread! LOL! JK
PS love your avatar!

[NurseBettyLu]

We allow for the wrongheadedness of tea drinkers here. Especially as I am having a cup of sleepytime as we speak. Mmm, good with a humongous glob of honey.

[ZooKeeper]

I could have used a cup of that last night! That IS the opposite effect of coffee but does sound quite nice!
Alrighty, I'll keep that in mind when I get a hankerin' for tea and wrongheadedness! :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime. Got a picture of a bear in a nightshirt and cap on it. It's like a nice gentle massage for your frontal lobes.

[jesus loves me]

You sold ME on it when I need tea that is soothing. VERY hard to get here - maybe because stores can't keep it on the shelf long and you have to be there when it's put out. I saw that no Black Silk again at my store but at least there's a tag for it.

[ZooKeeper]

Back to coffee. It's raining. And raining. Coffee is the only cure.

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee+rain=ahhhhhh...

[jesus loves me]

YESLY! Up here it works when the rain is the frozen white stuff that piles up in inches and feet!

[NurseBettyLu]

Laurie! Hi! Bye! Coffee up, gotta go!

[jesus loves me]

Laurie! Hi! Bye! Coffee up, gotta go!Sorry to miss you! Check your pm's. Don't know how I got an angry smilie got on the one I sent but couldn't remove it! Hope to catch you 'live' tomorrow afternoon - will try to check in around 2 pm. Have to make more coffee. One should NOT leave it out -yuck! NEEDS to be put in fridge for future use.

[NurseBettyLu]

I have to leave early tomorrow, won't be here. Yes, coffee should be stored in the fridge in something with a tight lid so it doesn't get fridgy tasting.

[pamcharlie]

Coffee is packed with antioxidants

[ZooKeeper]

It helps you lose weight, too.

[Genna14]

I'M A CULLEN!!!!!! Look!!!

Yes, coffee should be stored in the fridge in something with a tight lid so it doesn't get fridgy tasting.The unmade is stored tightly in the fridge, I meant the stuff I brewed but didn't use up. That needs refrigeration or it tastes weird. I have decided I don't care if it's gourmet or not - I do NOT like the coffee from Nicaragua.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, that's what I meant, too. I put a lid on mine or it tastes like onions or cheese or whatever else is in the fridge.

[jesus loves me]

We wants our coffeez to TASTE like coffeez!

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes indeedy.

[jesus loves me]

I checked out the websites for both International Delight and CoffeMate and I.D. had where you check off the one you are interested in, put in your zip code and it tells you where a flavor is available. If it's accurate, their English Almond Toffee is a short bus ride away. They also said the limited edition and seasonal could be hard to find - NO KIDDING!

Keep us posted. This is important info that we NEED!

[jesus loves me]

Keep us posted. This is important info that we NEED!This is also the place where flavored creamers are discussed and whether they get a thumbs up or down. I have a hard time getting them because I don't drive and my disability makes shopping by bus, difficult. Think we started with just coffee, then expanded to tea, creamers and we MAY discuss chocolate on occasion. :D

[thirday]

Nice eyes Genna, they look to be a coffee hue.

[NurseBettyLu]

Odd, mine are the same color...

[Genna14]

We're coffee vampires. So instead of turning a nice shade of Satan Crimson ours turn a shade of chocolate brown that rather resembles coffee.

[Genna14]

In other news, check out what I did to my eyes.

The undead require coffee.

[jesus loves me]

The undead require coffee. I don't have brown eyes. Maybe I haven't fully been turned yet. I know I muchly require coffee so perhaps there's hope.

[jesus loves me]

In other news, check out what I did to my eyes.

http://twitpic.com/4tc9xStick with the cullen eyes. Green on you looks eerie.

[thirday]

I'm starting to notice how the coffee is spilling over onto other threads.........gives them a better aroma.

[jesus loves me]

I'm starting to notice how the coffee is spilling over onto other threads.........gives them a better aroma.Coffee makes EVERYTHING, including threads, better!

[NurseBettyLu]

Have I ever mentioned that I likes me some coffee now and then?

[jesus loves me]

Maybe once or twice:P

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm not obsessed or anything like that.

[jesus loves me]

NO, course not.

[NurseBettyLu]

Out of creamer.

[jesus loves me]

EMERGENCY! I have 4 flavors, how brave are ya?

[NurseBettyLu]

Not very. Will use milk in the am, get something on the way home from church.

[jesus loves me]

MILK?:eek:

[NurseBettyLu]

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[jesus loves me]

Still doing hazelnut? Grocery store has Starbucks on sale again and CVS has Dunkin Donuts on sale. I'm trying REALLY hard not to get any.

[NurseBettyLu]

Making my tea.

[jesus loves me]

I FORGOT TO MAKE COFFEE EARLIER :( I have to leave soon, been a busy day.

[NurseBettyLu]

And if I go on to bed soon, I won't have to coffee up so hard in the am to stay awake thru Mass! Won't Fr. Alan be suprised?

[jesus loves me]

Did you change Fr.s? Thought he had a different name.

[NurseBettyLu]

Fr. Mike retired b/c of his health. He's currently in Houston receiving a stem cell transplant, pretty much the last protocol available to him. Dr's give it a 50-50 chance of a positive outcome. Pray. Fr. Alan is our interim priest, and we are currently interviewing priests for the permanent position. Pray more.

[jesus loves me]

Sorry to hear that. Yes, will pray for him and for his replacement.

[NurseBettyLu]

Thanks. Fr. Alan is a coffee hound. Still trying to talk him into doing fair trade coffee for coffee hour.

[jesus loves me]

Keep talking talking to him, it's a good cause.

[NurseBettyLu]

I got my tea too hot.

[jesus loves me]

I have a feeling the coffee isn't being made tonight because I've had it. Think tonight I'll say goodnight and join you in a cuppa Sleepytime. Had iced coffee earlier so I didn't go without.

[Genna14]

I propose we all two shots each in honor of Mark Martin's SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON!!!

[Genna14]

Shots of coffee, that is. ;)

[rossid]

$0.79 dark roast from QT - www.quiktrip.com

I propose we all two shots each in honor of Mark Martin's SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON!!!*sound of clinking coffee mugs* How old IS that guy? At least my guy did fairly well and that was some flaming car Waltrip had! I don't see NASCAR now until the 24th and it looks like not at all most of the summer :mad:

$0.79 dark roast from QT - www.quiktrip.comNo QT's here or for non drivers but I'd be willing to try a dark roast for that price!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm on a serious Coke Zero jag right now.

[jesus loves me]

I can't handle diet drinks and I'm not SUPPOSED to even HAVE things with artificial in it. I cheat with Crystal Light but otherwise I use Truvia.

[NurseBettyLu]

I know that the phenylalinines are eating holes in my brain even as we speak, but I can't help it.

[jesus loves me]

Is that the problem?:P Yeah, it's tough if you shouldn't have sugar and it's just as bad if you aren't supposed to have artificial(not supposed to have it with fibromyalgia and I DID notice a difference when I stopped drinking it in quantities)

[NurseBettyLu]

Hahaha. Must go get creamer.

[jesus loves me]

I never thought I'd get rid of a coffee, but I couldn't handle that stuff from Nicaragua. It has the color and smell of cheap freeze dried. Doesn't taste much better. It was a waste of creamer and Truvia. I stuck the grounds in a container to deodorize the fridge.

Hmmm, we seem to have exceeded our 200 page limit before we kill a thread. What shall we do? :eek: :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Ignore it?

[jesus loves me]

Leave us and save us the trouble of starting pt.2?

[NurseBettyLu]

You could always come over for a cup of black silk. Goodest coffee ever.

[thirday]

Hmmm, we seem to have exceeded our 200 page limit before we kill a thread. What shall we do? :eek: :D

Start a second pot?

[jesus loves me]

I've got to make mine as it didn't happen last night. I'll even bake brownies if it'll help.

[pamcharlie]

Yeah i thought that too , but since coffee is popular we are going over the limit here with this one, oh guess what i am submitting some recipes tomorrow .

I was at church yesterday and i have been away for two and half weeks in australia and they go and change the coffee break we now have water only in the morning and we use those plastic cups i am just taking my water bottle filled with water to drink

[NurseBettyLu]

Aunt Deb wouldn't do that to us. Would she?

[jesus loves me]

Aunt Deb wouldn't do that to us. Would she?A good aunt like her?

[NurseBettyLu]

She's our favorite auntie. Isn't she?

[jesus loves me]

Never known a better one. She's special.

[NurseBettyLu]

Auntie of the year material, I'd say.

[jesus loves me]

Perhaps of the entire decade.

[pamcharlie]

Our dearest darlingest aunt deb would never do that to us

[NurseBettyLu]

Lifetime achievement award.

[jesus loves me]

Cover of People Magazine with 2 page spread of comments about what a wonderful aunt she is.

[NurseBettyLu]

We should name a new coffee blend after her.

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, that's a good one. Yes, most definitely. We'll think of her with every cup of it that we brew.

[NurseBettyLu]

And I don't even think she knows how badly we're sucking up.

[jesus loves me]

Not a clue. I have to go for now. If this is still here tomorrow, hope to be here. Otherwise hope someone has opened a new one!

[NurseBettyLu]

Don't worry about it. when it comes to coffee, you know I got yer back.

[Genna14]

Hahah! Even I am surprised at how long this little thread of mine has lasted!

[Debbie]

Hmmm, I am liking this idea. I might not even send Jason over here to do it for that one :D

[Debbie]

Hahah! Even I am surprised at how long this little thread of mine has lasted!

Now Genna dear, an Aunt as wise as I knows this is not your "only" little thread that has lasted more than 200 pages :P

[Debbie]

And I don't even think she knows how badly we're sucking up.

Ah, yeah I do. Some how I have felt completely invisible til now :cool:

[NurseBettyLu]

Come on over, I got a fresh pot on. Actually, I pretty much always have a fresh pot on.

[jesus loves me]

[Genna14]

Just the regular tic tacs

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm having warm milk and honey. Tictacs give me indigestion.

[jesus loves me]

Haven't seen any new coffee blends out there. I must have everything out there at the moment. The store is forever getting new tea flavors in.
