The Coffee Thread

[jesus loves me]

Once the Aldi's opens down the block I'll see if they carry the real thing. Their butter is dirt cheap in comparison to the other stores.

[pamcharlie]

I feel like getting a hot chocolate tomorrow and drinking it at church but that would not be fair on the coffee addicts who have lost their beloved coffee

[NurseBettyLu]

Nope, wouldn't be nice at all.

[jesus loves me]

I do not understand a church without coffee.

[NurseBettyLu]

Neither me.

[jesus loves me]

Would not happen in America

[NurseBettyLu]

I can't remember if I ever posted this:

[jesus loves me]

HAHAHAHAHA! Don't remember seeing this before. LOVE it!

[NurseBettyLu]

Can't remember where it came from. Gotta go fix my iced for tonight.

[jesus loves me]

I cheated. I've already had one iced tonight and will be draining the pitcher when I leave here.

[NurseBettyLu]

I think we can overlook this one little indescretion...

[jesus loves me]

Thank you. Of course now that means I have to make coffee again!

[Genna14]

"One can never have too much coffee."

- Bhudda...or someone like that ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

I had too much once. It's possible to get drunk on coffee. Kinda fun till the shakes set in.

[jesus loves me]

What did you do, down a pot in a few minutes time? Are you sure there was nothing 'extra' in the coffee?

[NurseBettyLu]

No, it involved the redeye to Boston with nothing better to do, and why you NEVER let somebody military make your travel reservations for you.

[jesus loves me]

Must have been one interesting flight to say the least.

[NurseBettyLu]

Interesting and a half.

[jesus loves me]

Didn't sleep last night so this is one of those days I wish the coffee could put itself in the machine, fill itself with water, switch on and THEN fix me a cup! If I could twitch my nose like Samantha....

[NurseBettyLu]

Send me a cup too.

[jesus loves me]

And I have real h&h too! Large mug?

[NurseBettyLu]

The bigger the better.

[jesus loves me]

Ok if it says, "Starbucks" on both sides? That's the biggest and heaviest one I have.

[NurseBettyLu]

Starbucks on it -- okay. Starbucks IN it -- no, thankee.

[jesus loves me]

Wouldn't do that to a friend. I'm doing Silk later anyhow - no Starbucks bags are open at the present time.

[NurseBettyLu]

Bless you. I can practically smell it already.

[jesus loves me]

I only have Truvia for a sweetener - or organic sugar. Would you like to sweeten it with your choice?

[NurseBettyLu]

Just a peench of sugar. Stevia's nasty.

[jesus loves me]

Sugar it is. I don't like stevia but the new brand Truvia I DO like and that's all I use now. It doesn't get bitter when hot like stevia did.

[NurseBettyLu]

Tired. More caffeine, please.

[jesus loves me]

Coming right up. Smells real good in here - Black Silk fresh. The smell revived me long enough to drop in here.

[NurseBettyLu]

It's a good thing Mark's folks don't mind if we nap. Gotta remember to take a sweater, they keep it awful cold.

[jesus loves me]

Napping is good when you have the hours you do. Is your thermos filled with hot coffee to warm you?

[NurseBettyLu]

No, I take it in a plastic bottle at room temp and nuke it. Or ice it as the ambient temperature requires.

[jesus loves me]

Good thing they have a nuker. Too tired tonight for h&h in my cuppa. If I use creamer I drink it if I wake up. Don't want h&h sitting for hours.

[NurseBettyLu]

That'll get me through the night. Then Pop Joe will make a fresh pot in the am.

[jesus loves me]

Cool. Fringe benefits - someone to make your a.m. java. Send him up here for a visit. Will he make coffee in the p.m.?

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, he's pretty open-mindeed.

[jesus loves me]

Send him up! He may be my answer to a coffee maker that gets everything ready and then serves it to me.

[NurseBettyLu]

Nah, you still gotta get it yourself. He goes back to bed with his.

[jesus loves me]

Scratch that idea. Did you ever get the Silk when it was on sale last time? I've been working hard to stay out of the coffee aisle when I go shopping.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, I got a couple more cans. Got a good supply now.

[jesus loves me]

One can of Silk is getting low and I'm getting that itch to buy. Never mind that I still have 7 cans of it.

[pamcharlie]

I have savoured a vanilla cappunico yummy

[jesus loves me]

I have savoured a vanilla cappunico yummy
Those are yummy, aren't they?

[NurseBettyLu]

My favorite coffee in the whole universe is the French Vanilla Cappuchino at the Tom Thumb station at the intersection of US 59 and state hiway 31 in Stapleton, AL. Come on, y'all, let's go for a cup!

[thirday]

Just dropping in for a quick cup-o-java and puttin' in a prayer request. (You can find it over yonder). Things going good here.

[NurseBettyLu]

Need some iced today, it's HOT!!!

[jesus loves me]

Will head over yonder. Good to have you drop in for a cuppa!

I'm ready and willing! My coffee temperature of the day is up in the air. 60's here again. They are promising hotter and more humid coming near the end of the week - along with yet MORE rain. Need to get brewing in case I want it iced later.

[NurseBettyLu]

Got another ceu class up there next week. Yes, I'm selecting my ceu classes b/c of the coffee. 'Sides, it's another state required class -- bloodborne pathogens. Sounds like another thrill ride, don't it?

[jesus loves me]

Ooh, that IS exciting. Coffee is a good enough reason for me to do what you're doing!

[NurseBettyLu]

That, and I have to take these classes in order to keep my license.

[3D NC fan]

Just got back from getting my favorite summer drink at Caribou Coffee - medium cold press with a shot of white chocolate and raspberry. The employee who made it thought it sounded good and said she would try it. When I told her that an employee named Diana used to make it for me, she said Diana hadn't worked there in almost a year. :eek:

[pamcharlie]

Yes Vanilla Cappacinos are so yummy

[jesus loves me]

[3D NC fan]

That sounds SO good! I'm having iced Black Silk with half and half.

It really is! Tastes a lot like the hot drink that I get there - Lite White Berry. Diana used to make it for me when I was a frequent customer. Still can't believe she's been gone so long, but I guess people do move on.

[3D NC fan]

That, and I have to take these classes in order to keep my license.

We have to do CE hours as well, but there is never good coffee involved. Some of the classes do offer lunch.

[NurseBettyLu]

People never believe me when I tell them my fav coffee comes from a gas station. And my second favorite comes from a casino.

[Genna14]

Um hi. Mark Martin rocks. For a 50 year old man, he really kicks bootay. He won his third race of the season this past weekend.....So guess what......More shots on me!!!!!!!

[rossid]

QT's limited time JavAlarm - www.quiktrip.com

[NurseBettyLu]

No QT's in my area. Genna's giving out shots. Not in my area. At lunch break at ceu class, had French Vanilla cappuchino on my way in, will have another on my way home. May not sleep for days.

[jesus loves me]

Um hi. Mark Martin rocks. For a 50 year old man, he really kicks bootay. He won his third race of the season this past weekend.....So guess what......More shots on me!!!!!!!Might I have a double? I along with thousands of others lost ABC permanently when the station changed digital frequencies (ooh, you should hear the ' Oprah" fans) so unless FOX has NASCAR, I can't ever see it.:mad:

[jesus loves me]

No QT's in my area. Genna's giving out shots. Not in my area. At lunch break at ceu class, had French Vanilla cappuchino on my way in, will have another on my way home. May not sleep for days.Without ac till hopefully Monday my pot can't keep up with me so I have to alternate between iced coffee and iced tea. I'm sleepy from the caffeine.

[NurseBettyLu]

It's so hot... going thru ice like a maniac here. Loads of iced coffee and tea here too.

[pamcharlie]

If it is cold on saturday when i go to the kids ministry seminar i am getting a hot chocolate it is super chilly here

[jesus loves me]

Even with ac restored, I think I'm drinking my coffee iced. Had to make another pitcher of iced tea, too. This time pomegranate flavored. I'll see if I like it.

[Genna14]

Well Tony almost won the race, led a few laps but couldn't catch the leader, Kasey, on the restart. He came in second and picked up like 40 on his points lead! He's now 84 points ahead of 2nd place. This calls for coffee!!

Hahah

[NurseBettyLu]

IMO everything calls for coffee.

[Genna14]

And right you are.

Tony won? This calls for coffee!

There's a car accident? This calls for coffee!

Someone died? This calls for coffee!

War in Iraq? This calls for coffee!

[NurseBettyLu]

It's Tuesday! Coffee! The neighbors are fighting again and the cops are there! Coffee! (Extra for the nice police officers when they're done restoring order) The coffeepot's empty! Coffee! The coffepot's full! Coffee! He who controls the coffee controls the universe. The coffee must flow. I found a place to insert a Dune reference into a thread about coffee! Coffee!

[pamcharlie]

Yeah Great Tony won so super it is wednesday here and i am enjoying some lovely hot drinks to warm up still super chilly today we are expecting rain tomorrow

[NurseBettyLu]

Pam, send me some of your chilly weather, please! Our high temperatures here in AL have set records three days in a row! It's miserable! Iced coffee, please!

[Genna14]

We've had unseasonably cool weather lately in the 90's. The past couple days it has been like 101. Yowza!

[NurseBettyLu]

It's down to 97 today. They're actually calling this a cooling trend. More iced beverages, please!

[Genna14]

77 here but then again, its 7 am. I am not entirely sure why I am awake but oh well. I have a job interivew in three hours! YAY ME! Do you know what this means?

COFFEE!

[NurseBettyLu]

Of course.

[jesus loves me]

About 10 degrees cooler at the lake by me. It's 77, still humid. AC going and iced coffee still on the menu.

[NurseBettyLu]

Iced everything here.

[jesus loves me]

Pomegranate iced tea was pretty good. Cool enough in here with ac for hot coffee but it's summer so I'll stick with iced. "Happened" to go down coffee aisle and nearly panicked - NO Folger's of any kind on the shelves. Still have sale tags up so I guess they just haven't gotten a new shipment in.

[NurseBettyLu]

*hands Laurie a paper bag to breathe in* Don't panic, Folgers is alive and well. The coffee will come back, I promise.

[jesus loves me]

Ok, I'll trust you even though this is the store that carries nothing I want or like.

[NurseBettyLu]

This is why we stockpile.

[jesus loves me]

And we are the princess and the queen of coffee stockpiling, are we not? :D :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Much talk about hurricane preparedness these days. Coffee -- check. Bottled water -- check. Stovetop coffeepot -- check. Yup, ready here.

[jesus loves me]

I've been keeping an eye on your weather. Is something expected that I missed or is this something you do every year?

[NurseBettyLu]

Yearly thing. Every June, you check your hurricane gear and go out and buy supplies. If you wait until a storm is actually in the gulf, then stores run out of stuff, people panic, there's price gouging, it just gets ugly. And I sit back and look at my full pantry and smile. As soon as the wind dies down people start blithering for their coffee. I have coffee. Neener neener neener.

[jesus loves me]

*giggles* You could get rich selling your coffee stock. Hopefully it'll be quiet in your part of the Gulf this year.

[NurseBettyLu]

Great idea! Hopefully a quiet year. However, as one watches the water temperature in the gulf go up every day...

[jesus loves me]

Well, we can always hope anything hits west of you. I'm going to have to go soon. My chill pad died and I'm getting a burnt lap. Also I can't recharge my mac in here with the ac on so it has to be plugged in in the bathroom and I want it charged before the storms.

[NurseBettyLu]

I need to go nuke some supper. Keep the iced stuff coming, sis! Talkatcha later.

[jesus loves me]

I need to go nuke some supper. Keep the iced stuff coming, sis! Talkatcha later.Tomorrow then?

[NurseBettyLu]

Tomorrow. I'm off. Bishop's visiting, coffee hour should be memorable.

[jesus loves me]

How memorable was it? Passed Starbucks in Target but no room for it as ex roomie and I had just eaten. Target has decent selection of coffee and good prices. Hopefully she will take me back in the future when I actually NEED coffee. She helped me with my packages and saw all the coffee I have stored. She had never seen so much coffee being stored!

[NurseBettyLu]

Non-bean phreaks just don't get it.

[Genna14]

Ok...


Guess what.........




COME ON AND GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!






No you're wrong...... Tony didn't win but...........







He came in 5th.......






and















JOEY LOGANO WON THE RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!









Of course you know what it means when my Rookie wins his first cup race..................... .









COFFEE SHOTS ALL AROUND!!!!!!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm beginning to like this NASCAR thing. Gets me loads of free shots.

[jesus loves me]

Non-bean phreaks just don't get it.Nope, they're totally clueless - and this one even has a coffee grinder.

[jesus loves me]

I'm beginning to like this NASCAR thing. Gets me loads of free shots.NASCAR GOOD! Coffee shots GOOD!

[Genna14]

Your boy came in second, Laurie. But Tony still leads the points! :P

[jesus loves me]

Your boy came in second, Laurie. But Tony still leads the points! :PThanks, Genna! I can no longer get ABC since it went digital (along with thousands of others here) so my only hope now is FOX if they have NASCAR. Might I have a double, I need it! Congrats to Tony :D

[pamcharlie]

We had Some yummy treats at the seminar i went to our kids ministry leader made a lovely lemon cake for us and we had pineapple and cookies and lots of coffee and tea

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds tasty. Drinking loads of iced tea, it's so hot.

[Genna14]

You won't see a race again then until Daytona. Here is a list of the broadcast schedule:

http://www.ask.com/nascar/sprint-cup-race-schedule :(

[jesus loves me]

I may actually need to nuke the coffee tonight - it's in the 60's here. Warm up later in the week.

[pamcharlie]

I am enjoying a hot cup or two of herbal tea this morning

[jesus loves me]

I am enjoying a hot cup or two of herbal tea this morningWe have a couple of varieties of bottled green herbal tea that you drink iced that I really like. I just don't really like that kind hot.

[NurseBettyLu]

I am enjoying some iced sleepytime and a nice turkey sandwich.

[jesus loves me]

I am enjoying some iced sleepytime and a nice turkey sandwich.Did not think of trying it iced as it's such a nice comforting warm tea. Will have to try. In the upper 50's today so will most certainly will be serving java hot tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

It's nice iced. Highs still in the upper 90's, lows in the upper 70's. Everything's iced.

[Genna14]

Hmmm I don't think I'd be able to drink it iced

[NurseBettyLu]

Nice that way esp. if I have a headache.

[jesus loves me]

Cool and breezy by the lake again today so more than likely the coffee will be consumed hot.

[Musicdude]

Normally I take a small can of Folger's Classic, and mix it with a small can of Folger's Columbian, and that is how I make the normal stuff. I do have a grinder, and so last time I tried a bag of Duncan Donuts coffee (unground.) I ground it up and gave it a shot. It's back to the Folger's mixture again.

Anyone tried Black Silk? How is it?

My favorite I think is Starbuck's espresso blend. I use it for regular coffee and to make cappucinos. But funds are limited right now, so it's mostly Folger's.

BLACK SILK? NurseBettyLu and I are in love with it! Bold, smooth, reliable and delicious! MY favorite coffee is Starbucks Espresso blend as well but I can't afford it either as my daily coffee. Black Silk is the coffee I drink the most often. I think you'll do fine with Black Silk.

Folger's also has a blend called GOURMET SUPREME that is supposed to be bold. I have a can but haven't opened it yet.

Black Silk is the bestest coffee anywhere. Really and truly. Do try it, it's bold without being bitter. Starbuck's burns their beans. Blech.

[Genna14]

Ok since I provide free shots every week, how about a little birthday love for me?? :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Free triple shots for Genna!

[jesus loves me]

Free triple shots for Genna!And a treat to go with it!

[NurseBettyLu]

Here y' go:

[pamcharlie]

And how about some iced chocolate for Genna and all of us to celebrate her birthday

[jesus loves me]

Tried Parisian Almond Cream creamer - NASTY. Thankfully it came in a small bottle. Normally I get stuck with large bottles of nasty.

[pamcharlie]

Nasty creamers yipes i don't know what creamers we have here

[NurseBettyLu]

I like half&half.

[jesus loves me]

I like half&half.Me too but unless someone gifts me with a dairy cow, it isn't going to happen except as a treat. :(

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm so sorry you don't have easy access to Wal-Mart as their brand is dead cheap.

[jesus loves me]

I'm so sorry you don't have easy access to Wal-Mart as their brand is dead cheap.I'm HOPING that when the Aldi opens that they sell h&h. They sell everything else dairy cheap, so I hope they stock h&h. Nasty creamer made drinkable by adding real vanilla extract to the bottle.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'll hope with you.

[jesus loves me]

I'll hope with you.The sign for the store is on the building but the insides aren't doing a thing and they're still interviewing. Cold and rainy today. Have to make coffee but not sure if I want to drink it iced or hot.

[NurseBettyLu]

Still icky hot here, all beverages today are iced.

[jesus loves me]

I need a new extension cord for coffee maker - this old one gets hot just from making one pot.

[NurseBettyLu]

Eek! Danger, Will Robinson! Do that YESTERDAY!

[jesus loves me]

Tomorrow. The new maker has a very short cord - the old one didn't need an extension and I just noticed it when I pulled the cord out of the power strip. I'm done making the coffee for the day so I'm throwing that cord out!

[NurseBettyLu]

Good girl. Coffee good. Hot extension cord bad.

[jesus loves me]

Yeah, with all you know I'm going through I don't need to add a fire to things!

[NurseBettyLu]

Fires REALLY not good.

[jesus loves me]

Except for making coffee when camping!

[NurseBettyLu]

Yes! There would have been no coffee after Katrina without my little camp pot!

[jesus loves me]

Yes! There would have been no coffee after Katrina without my little camp pot!How long did you go without power? Coffee is essential to life for us bean phreaks!

[Genna14]

Did I happen to mention I had the best birthday ever?! TONY WON FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEE *dances around and sings*

[NurseBettyLu]

So...does this mean we get free shots again?

[Genna14]

Hmmmm.........Ok ;)

[Musicdude]

BLACK SILK? NurseBettyLu and I are in love with it! Bold, smooth, reliable and delicious! MY favorite coffee is Starbucks Espresso blend as well but I can't afford it either as my daily coffee. Black Silk is the coffee I drink the most often. I think you'll do fine with Black Silk.

Folger's also has a blend called GOURMET SUPREME that is supposed to be bold. I have a can but haven't opened it yet.

Well, I will definitely give it a try next time.

Thanks!

[Musicdude]

Black Silk is the bestest coffee anywhere. Really and truly. Do try it, it's bold without being bitter. Starbuck's burns their beans. Blech.

I am not a huge fan of most of Starbuck's blends, but I do love the espresso blend. Very smooth. The only drink I get at Starbuck's is the Americano which I believe they use Espresso blend to make that. So no wonder I love it. :)

Anyway, that is a rare treat. Normally we brew our own stuff at home, and it's always Folger's. I tried the special blend a while back and didn't like that. I don't really care for the breakfast blend either. I like dark coffees, but my wife doesn't like as dark. She puts so much creamer in her coffee it looks like a cappucino. But she loves the Columbian flavor. I can take it or leave it. So we compromise, and mix the Columbian with the Classic blend or whatever it's called. And it's not too shabby. But I'm always up for trying something new. The black silk sounds yummy.

[NurseBettyLu]

Black silk may be something you and your bride can compromise on. My mom doesn't like real dark roasts but she loves this stuff.

[Musicdude]

Americano is my drink at Starbucks as well and I was told they do use the espresso roast for it which is the blend I buy the most. Let us know if you try the Black Silk and what you think!

[pamcharlie]

Been drinking rivers of enchineca tea to get the nasty cold out of my system

[NurseBettyLu]

Good for you. You got Airborn down there? If so, it's worth a try. I used to reccommend Zycam, but it's been recalled. Seems it permanently damahes the sense of smell.

[Musicdude]

Will do. :)

[jesus loves me]

I like half&half.Decided I deserved a h&h this time. Found something interesting. The bottle of h&h is so much smaller than the bulky creamer bottle but it contains the same ounces making h&h actually cheaper than creamer :D I'm not giving up creamers I actually like but I'M FREE to buy h&h now!:D :D :D :D

[NurseBettyLu]

See what happens when you read labels?

[jesus loves me]

See what happens when you read labels?
Who knew? You figure big bottle has loads more in it than small bottle.

[NurseBettyLu]

That's what they want you to think. The big size isn't necessarily a bargain.

[jesus loves me]

Yeah and when you actually look at the bottle differences you realize the creamers have those big pouring caps that make it look bigger plus the shape of it is bulky. The store brand h&h has a small cap and is very trim in shape. That iced coffee with h&h last night was stellar.

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmm, that sounds good. I'll go make a pot now so it'll be cold for tonight.

[jesus loves me]

You're way ahead of me. Don't think I can run the ac, tv, my mac AND the coffee maker all at the same time. Need to go soon to do that so I have enough chilled for tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

Does anything smell as good as opening a new can?

[jesus loves me]

Lavender comes close for me, but I think new coffee smell beats even that!

[NurseBettyLu]

I want a tall glass of iced lightly sweetened with h&h and a drop of baileys.

[jesus loves me]

I'm not sure if I've tried it with Bailey's iced. Will have to try. Must find the bottle. I'm really liking either Truvia or Purevia in it. Doesn't have the bittier aftertaste that plain old stevia had.

[NurseBettyLu]

May try that. Plain old Stevia is icky. And yeah, Baileys is good cold.

[jesus loves me]

I gave up on stevia because of it. From what I've read, these new brands do something so they only get the sweet from the stevia plant. Trvuvia comes in packs like Sweet & Low and Purevia comes in the things like the Crystal Light to go - the sticks. It comes with a price though.

[NurseBettyLu]

Doesn't everything these days?

[jesus loves me]

Yeah, even the junk of the past is now expensive! Even store brands are getting up there. Coffee however is one thing I won't buy unless I like it - regardless of the price.

[NurseBettyLu]

Yup, cheap coffee is just tragic.

[jesus loves me]

I've had people give me that kind thinking they were helping me out *gag*. I also know people who are clueless about coffee and think it's all the same. If someone truly likes a cheapo one, go for it. Otherwise....

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee is just right for iced. Gotta leave off the baileys, gotta work tonight.

[jesus loves me]

Coffee with h&h, aaah :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Sometimes happiness is soooo simple.

[jesus loves me]

Sometimes happiness is soooo simple.
YES! I also made myself happy with iced tea with mint AND h&h! Twas GOOD :D

[Genna14]

At this rate...I'm gunna go broke! MARK MARTIN WON HIS FOURTH RACE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

You know the drill.. ;) :P

[NurseBettyLu]

Yeah, but you've gotten us spoilt.

[jesus loves me]

At this rate...I'm gunna go broke! MARK MARTIN WON HIS FOURTH RACE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

You know the drill.. ;) :PIt's for such a good cause though! You didn't happen to mention who the 2nd place finisher was - or was the guy on sports wrong when he mentioned Mr. Gordon? Why was Tony starting so far back? If it helps, I'll settle for a single shot this time!

[NurseBettyLu]

Not me. I need a double.

[jesus loves me]

I do too, I was trying to be helpful. Don't want her to go broke and we get NO shots at all!:P

[NurseBettyLu]

We should pass the hat.

[jesus loves me]

May have to if she continues to celebrate because her guys do well!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm not into NASCAR but I am into shots.

[jesus loves me]

I want it all - NASCAR and shots. For me it's a link to my beloved south where I first saw it.

[NurseBettyLu]

I want my tea. Iced tonight, I believe.

[jesus loves me]

Had mine earlier. I'm now waiting to get my iced coffee. I didn't realize how little you really get in a Starbucks bag. I'm almost out and it hasn't even been 2 weeks. I have 4 weeks till friend returns. I believe I'm going to have to mix it with Black Silk. Please don't faint, Beth!

[NurseBettyLu]

Ooh, it's getting dim...

[jesus loves me]

*sticks new can of Black Silk under her nose*. 'Breathe deeply Beth, you'll come around.'

[NurseBettyLu]

Ahh, better!

[jesus loves me]

HAHAHAHAH! Now he's got the right idea!

Rats. My head won't fit.

[jesus loves me]

*giggles* Need to write Folger's' and tell them they need to put their coffee in bigger cans.

[NurseBettyLu]

MUCH bigger cans.

Laurie- you're right, Gordon finished second to his teammate Mark. Tony started in 32 because he sucks at qualifying! LOL I never worry about it anymore because at this rate, I KNOW Tony will be top 5 in no time. As a matter of fact, at Pocono, he started dead last. Know where he finished? FIRST. That's my boy.

Let's take a tally of how many times I've bought free shots for ya'll.

Mark- 4
Tony- 3
Joey- 1
Brad- 1

That's 9 race wins there buddy.

I posted an article about it on www.one4thewin.com

[NurseBettyLu]

You gotta put an honor kitty out for those shots.

[jesus loves me]

I posted an article about it on www.one4thewin.comThanks! Good read :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Shouldn't have gone for that last shot. It's cancelling out the sleepytime.

[Genna14]

Honor kitty?

[jesus loves me]

Not good at all. I must depart. Behind again in meds. Am going for my iced java and then look for a dvd to watch. Hope to talk tomorrow.

[Genna14]

I think I'm going to have a cup of Earl in my new Tony Stewart travel mug. Why? Because I can. Yay birthday!

[Genna14]

Good night my sweet friend!

[NurseBettyLu]

Honor kitty?

Like our church has for sodas. We just put them in the fridge and people get whatever they want. There's a cup in the fridge door and people who take a drink put in a buck or so to cover the cost. Nobody makes you, you do it on your honor. Hence, honor kitty.

I like that idea. We need one for my raceday shots LOL

[NurseBettyLu]

I'll pay you next week.

Some friends of ours just got back from a vacation to Costa Rica, and they got me a bag of some fine espresso. I haven't tried it yet, but it smells wonderful!

[NurseBettyLu]

Pity you can't post smells.

[jesus loves me]

[NurseBettyLu]

I made my sleepytime before I left for work and put it in the fridge. Nice and cold. Mmmmmm.

[Genna14]

chocolate raiiiiiiiin

Hey ya'll I am counting on buying shots again after the next race, which I am counting on Dale Jr, Biffle, or Tony winning!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm just gonna sit here with my mouth open.

[Genna14]

Because that is attractive.

[Salome]

I'm just gonna sit here with my mouth open.

Be careful with that ...... she's not shaving her legs don't cha know.

[NurseBettyLu]

I wasn't gonna say anything as long as she's doling out the shots. Foamy rocks the llama sideways.

[Salome]

good point.

i said nothing ......

[Genna14]

Foamy rules.

[NurseBettyLu]

Too true. And Starbucks burns their beans.

[Genna14]

Speaking of Starbucks I got me a $10 gift card there. I think I may run up there and get me a green tea iced. Mmmm

[3D NC fan]

Free mocha on Mondays at McDonald's. Tried the iced turtle caramel latte today & it was pretty good!

[NurseBettyLu]

Good coffee at McD's? I dunno...

[3D NC fan]

When they first came out with a vanilla iced coffee, it was nasty. Much improvement since then. Try the free mocha on Monday.

I had it hot a couple of months ago and LOVED it. Still haven't gotten over for the iced version.

[Genna14]

Mmmm sounds good to me! It would be even better with some of the spiced almonds I've been making.

[NurseBettyLu]

Going to the casino next Wed. My fav coffee!

[jesus loves me]

Going to the casino next Wed. My fav coffee! Have a cup for me while you're there (gives you an excuse to have an extra one!)

[Genna14]

Laurieee! You're on!

[jesus loves me]

Laurieee! You're on!That was my thought when I saw your light on :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Where is everybody? I got a fresh pot on.

[Genna14]

Brew me some up. I'm about dead here. Went swimming today and my friend's dog was practically making me swim laps to toss him his burger zzzzzzzz

[jesus loves me]

Where is everybody? I got a fresh pot on.I'm here for a few minutes. Have some brownies I made. Anyone want one or two to go along with their java?

[jesus loves me]

[NurseBettyLu]

Me wants!

[Genna14]

We had a good time, me and Archie the poodle but he wore me out!

[jesus loves me]

Me wants!Here's a plate. Have at 'em :D

[NurseBettyLu]

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!!!!!!! Good with coffee!

[jesus loves me]

They most certainly are! High 60's out right now. I'm half tempted to nuke the coffee tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

Hot coffee sounds good tonight.

[jesus loves me]

I'm seriously thinking about it. Is it cool by you? The tv station in Nashville said they were only at 70.

[NurseBettyLu]

We're having cool nights with low dew points. Hot coffee will do nicely.

[jesus loves me]

Low dew points are my favorite! Even though it's cool here it's still a bit on the humid side. I always said the humidity here is worse than in Nashville and I found out that I was right - there dew point is almost always lower than here. Sometimes hot coffee is soothing anyhow.

[NurseBettyLu]

Nuking a cup right now. It's what my head wants.

[jesus loves me]

I made a pitcher full of the Black Silk/Starbucks's African combo. I prefer each separate but I've got 3 weeks yet to drink coffee from Africa and it's way too expensive alone.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sounds like a waste of good Folgers to me. :P

[jesus loves me]

Why am I not surprised you feel that way?;)

[NurseBettyLu]

Deep in your heart you know it's true.

[jesus loves me]

I am not saying a word. *giggles*

[Genna14]

Hey now I kind of like Starbucks

[jesus loves me]

Hey now I kind of like StarbucksI am TOTALLY
with you, girl. I LOVE Folger's Black Silk, but Starbuck's espresso is still my favorite. If I were rich, I'd buy a lot more bags of it.

I was drinking heaps of enchinea tea when i had the bug i had
