The Coffee Thread

[Genna14]

Can we just make fudgeballs?

[Salome]

lets!

[NurseBettyLu]

How about let's get one of those chocolate fountains and stick our faces in it?

[Genna14]

That sounds better.

[Salome]

much better!!

i'm always so tempted when i see one on an infomercial! or in a catalog.

i've resisted so far. which really can't be explained!

[NurseBettyLu]

Come to the dark side, we have chocolate.

[jesus loves me]

Can we just make fudgeballs?Yes!!! A little rum in them perhaps?

[jesus loves me]

How about let's get one of those chocolate fountains and stick our faces in it?I'm ready!

[Genna14]

I'm ready!
YOU KNOW I'M READYYYYYY heheeheh ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

Last one in's a booger breath.

[Genna14]

One of my twitter buddies posted these pics of a chocolate fountain at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Vegas.

[Salome]

sniff ........ that's beautiful ..........

[NurseBettyLu]

It's my desktop wallpaper now.

[Genna14]

LOL I knew ya'll would enjoy that. I've been to tha hotel, never seen that!

[Salome]

I made chocolate covered strawberries today. Want some?

[NurseBettyLu]

Thankee, no. Bad tummy tonight. Next time, maybe.

[jesus loves me]

I'll open a new can of Black Silk just for you if you're up to it.

[NurseBettyLu]

Feeling somewhat better. Maybe coffee tomorrow.

[jesus loves me]

I'll save the opening of the can till you're up to it!

[NurseBettyLu]

You're a good friend.

[jesus loves me]

So are you, my dear.

[NurseBettyLu]

I need my caffeine cold right now. I want a Coke Zero about a mile deep.

[jesus loves me]

I can't have artificial sweeteners but I was wondering, why is coke zero different from diet coke? Is there something in it that's different or is it just the taste?

[NurseBettyLu]

Bit different taste. Less sweet, a little more astringent. More refreshing, I think.

[jesus loves me]

I may try a single serve bottle sometime. An occasional dip into artificial sweetener won't hurt and I could go for a coke every now and then.

[NurseBettyLu]

I tried a cola from the health food store that was sweetened with stevia. Don't even go there. Ewwwwwwwww.

[jesus loves me]

Thanks for the warning because I'd have tried it if I saw it. I've decided I'm not really fond of DD French Vanilla. I'll be glad when the bag is empty. If I get DD again, I may stick with plain ole' regular.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm not so much into flavored coffees. I like my coffee to taste like, well, coffee!

[Genna14]

I'm home!!!!!1 We had free Starbucks coffee on our hotel room every morning! It was actually really good :D

[jesus loves me]

I'm not so much into flavored coffees. I like my coffee to taste like, well, coffee!What were all those bottles of cinnamon bun you adored? :P I'm starting bottle #1 of English almond toffee. I bought 2 plus the 2 new flavors I saw. I'd prefer a h&h break, but I have to buy when people take me to stores that have new things. When these bottles are gone, I'm back to h&h. I have a can of Folger's French Vanilla that I haven't tried yet.

[jesus loves me]

I'm home!!!!!1 We had free Starbucks coffee on our hotel room every morning! It was actually really good :DWELCOME HOME! Starbucks in the hotel room - YUM!

[pamcharlie]

Welcome home Genna, i am enjoying some green tea today no coffee for me today

[NurseBettyLu]

No coffee her either. Tummy still bad. Ginger tea.

[Genna14]

Thank you ladies. Yes the free Starbucks was wonderful! I'll post links to the pics later

[pamcharlie]

After last week i have decided to stick to herbal tea and no coffee

[Genna14]

Why? What happened Pam?

[NurseBettyLu]

Still on ginger tea, no coffee for nearly a week now.

[Genna14]

You really must be out of it! Hope you get better soon!

[jesus loves me]

Still on ginger tea, no coffee for nearly a week now.This is a distressing post. You MUST get better soon. I just bought a bottle of Bailey's as tomorrow the taxes on alcohol go up. So good in coffee.

[jesus loves me]

After last week i have decided to stick to herbal tea and no coffeeWith the new heart medicine the cardiologist is trying, I can't have herbal tea anymore. I refuse to give up my box of SleepyTime however. I just will have to be very careful not to have it often.

[thirday]

Just stopping in for a quick cup-o-java and say everything's going good. Here some news for the rumor line...... Wife's expecting! In of December!

[Genna14]

Congrats! Now there's call for celebration! Espresso shots all around!

[pamcharlie]

Oh Genna what happened i had two italian cappunicinos and i had a thumping headache and i was at my toddlers church team meeting and my head was really pounding

[NurseBettyLu]

Save my shot for later, as my tummy hurts tonight.

[Genna14]

Oh Genna what happened i had two italian cappunicinos and i had a thumping headache and i was at my toddlers church team meeting and my head was really pounding
Ick! You need time to recover.

[NurseBettyLu]

She hasn't trained for it like we have.

[Genna14]

I've had 23 years of practice.

[jesus loves me]

Just stopping in for a quick cup-o-java and say everything's going good. Here some news for the rumor line...... Wife's expecting! In of December! That's great! Thanks for popping in to let us know :D

[jesus loves me]

I've had 23 years of practice.I've just passed my 10th year but I'm pretty much able to handle any coffee coming at me! I've done 2 real Italian espressos in a row without a problem (made by a born in Italy Italian)so I think I can handle just about anything.

[NurseBettyLu]

Well, after that fated flight to Boston, I'm pretty much good for anything.

[jesus loves me]

A video of that event would be much sought after here if it existed.

[NurseBettyLu]

'Twas before the days of YouTube, I'm afraid.

[jesus loves me]

Rats! 'Night, Beth!

[NurseBettyLu]

I am drinking a cup of coffee!!! Take me off the critical list.

[Genna14]

Yay!

I just wish I could have eaten pain free this morning.

[NurseBettyLu]

You gots a owie?

[Genna14]

Idk what the heck is going on but I'm having lots of stomach pain. According to mom my big fat a** is the problem!

[jesus loves me]

I am drinking a cup of coffee!!! Take me off the critical list.HOORAY CELEBRATION TIME!!! Soon then I shall open a new can of Black Silk (was waiting for you so we could 'share' the experience!)

[jesus loves me]

Idk what the heck is going on but I'm having lots of stomach pain. According to mom my big fat a** is the problem!Mama is wrong, girlfriend. Sorry your tummy not ok. Praying for you.

[NurseBettyLu]

Genna, try some ginger tea. And don't change a thing, you're beautiful.

[Genna14]

Since we think I have an ulcer, I am going to give up coffee. I hope I don't get a fever like I did last time I tried.

[NurseBettyLu]

If it's an ulcer, ginger may help.

[Genna14]

I think I have some ginger tea. I'll have some now.

[NurseBettyLu]

Me too. Cheers!

[Genna14]

I have some and it is brewing. Now I wait. *sigh*

[pamcharlie]

Ginger is perfect for stomach ulcers

[NurseBettyLu]

Tummy much better. Coffee good.

[Genna14]

I felt a lot better after I had some tea.

[jesus loves me]

My tummy fine, heart not so but always ready for a good cuppa (don't have one now as I'm still finishing up DD French Vanilla. Why do things you don't like always take so long to use up?)

[Genna14]

I feel good today!

[NurseBettyLu]

Yay Genna!!! Guess who's got an ulcer? Had a really bad night last night, so i was on my dr's doorstep first thing this am. She has me on tetracycline and prevacid, I have to eat every four hours, I have to eat yogurt, and NO COFFEE.

[Genna14]

Feel horrid. This time its bad bad caffeine withdrawals.

[NurseBettyLu]

Me too.

[Genna14]

Funny how we can be in the exact same situation medically and be across the country lol

[Musicdude]

Fasting coffee for a week starting yesterday. Day 1 is not going well. Need coffee bad.

http://bestsmileys.com/coffee/3.gif

[Genna14]

I'm on day two of my coffee fast. I feel horrid

[Musicdude]

I'm on day two of my coffee fast. I feel horrid

Are you doing just coffee or all caffenated products?
I'm doing all caffeine. It's gonna be a long week. :)

[jesus loves me]

I feel SO alone here now :(

[NurseBettyLu]

Ize here! Battling SSR...

[jesus loves me]

Together at last. We still haven't been able to kill SSR, rats.

[NurseBettyLu]

Having a lovely glass of gatorade. The green kind. Yum.

[jesus loves me]

I don't know, but it seems a lovely glass of Gatorade is hard to get excited about. Counting the days till you and the bean can be reunited.

[NurseBettyLu]

My next glass will be the orange kind. I can hardly wait.

[jesus loves me]

I must say, when in need of Gatorade I will know who to consult as to the best one. Cheers!

[NurseBettyLu]

Let me tell you, coffee it ain't.

[jesus loves me]

Does this mean this mean there isn't a flavor winner yet?

[Genna14]

Coffee and soda because of the acid. So I guess you could say its an acid fast!

[NurseBettyLu]

Does this mean this mean there isn't a flavor winner yet?

No, they're all pathetic.

[Genna14]

I lurveeeeeeeeeee Gatorade! They had this really awesome flavor a few years ago Raspberry Lemonade. Me and mom couldn't get nough of it! Looks as though its been discontinued. :(

[NurseBettyLu]

I want a cup of coffee BAD.

[jesus loves me]

I want a cup of coffee BAD.Last night I didn't have a cuppa because my sistuhs couldn't and I was empathizing. Tonight I empathize, but am having coffee!

[jesus loves me]

No, they're all pathetic.This is not exactly the answer I was hoping for.

[NurseBettyLu]

Last night I didn't have a cuppa because my sistuhs couldn't and I was empathizing. Tonight I empathize, but am having coffee!

Drink up, sugah. What was it like?

[Genna14]

Still coffee free....three days running now....may have some in the AM if my tummy aint acting up.

[jesus loves me]

Drink up, sugah. What was it like?Not as good as with friends, plus it's still the DD French Vanilla so that wasn't exciting at all.

[jesus loves me]

Still coffee free....three days running now....may have some in the AM if my tummy aint acting up.Let's hope for a good AM!

[Genna14]

Had coffee this am. My damn family is pissing me off and I KNEW it'd be a horrible day.

[jesus loves me]

Hooray for the coffee, boo to the family. Sorry it's not going so well, sweet pea.

[NurseBettyLu]

No coffee yet. Go see dr Fri. am, hopefully this might change.

[Genna14]

Mom got better........tia was being horrible as always. UG. I need something stronger than coffee!!!!!

[jesus loves me]

No coffee yet. Go see dr Fri. am, hopefully this might change.*sighs*

[NurseBettyLu]

Well, another night on the wagon...good thing I like milk.

[Genna14]

Milk is good!

[NurseBettyLu]

Coffee better!

[Genna14]

Indeed. I've been drinking lots of apple cinnamon spice tea lately!

[jesus loves me]

Coffee better!Oh, yeah! I don't do milk unless it's soy. I'm down to the END of the bag of DD French Vanilla - hooray!

[NurseBettyLu]

See dr on Friday. Can I hold out that long?

[jesus loves me]

See dr on Friday. Can I hold out that long?We can sincerely hope and pray so! Emptied the bag of DD French Vanilla - HOORAY! I think if I want flavors I'll stick to creamers instead of flavored beans. Hope the unopened Folger's F.V. is good.

[NurseBettyLu]

That's my deal. Unflavored beans are more versatile. I never have found a flavored coffee I really liked, but I can flavor it up with creamers if I'm in the mood.

[jesus loves me]

I found this out the hard way. I DO like Folger's Chocolate ones though. I'd but that again. I still have a local brand of Vanilla nut I haven't opened, but I'd had it at a friends house and that one was decent.

[NurseBettyLu]

I have some chocolate silk for times the mood hits.

[jesus loves me]

I can't find that one now but found one by Folgers not as good called chocolate truffle. I save the choc. silk for very special times.

[NurseBettyLu]

I just miss coffee. Eight o' Clock. Community. ANYTHING!!!!

[jesus loves me]

That's Desperately Missing It!!!

[NurseBettyLu]

Uh-huh. *twitches*

[jesus loves me]

Ya going to make it or do we need to come and pin you down in case you turn violent with spasms?

[NurseBettyLu]

I thInk I'll be okay, I'll have some milk in a coffee mug and pretend...

[jesus loves me]

Ok. If it gets real bad, just yell and we'll tie ya down or something. I'm heading to the fridge for iced tonight.

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmm, sounds good. I'd put some Baileys in the milk, but I can't have alcohol either.

[Genna14]

Ya going to make it or do we need to come and pin you down in case you turn violent with spasms?
hahahah

[NurseBettyLu]

What, Genna? You want video??? Well, okay, just this once.

[Genna14]

Yes that would be rather amusing...

[NurseBettyLu]

Rats! Missed you again! Really, I must work on my aim...

[jesus loves me]

Rats! Missed you again! Really, I must work on my aim...Maybe we should post our 'most likely to be here' times.

[Genna14]

Mine is sporadic but I guess you could sayI'm usually on after 8 pm, MST.

[NurseBettyLu]

I usually check in late morning, sometimes about 2 in the pm, around nineish if I'm not working 3-11, and round about the midnight hour if I am. All times CST.

[jesus loves me]

Until I'm feeling like me again, I'm not reliable about a time. I TRY between 1-3pm and 9-10pm CST, but again, right now it all depends on how I feel. SOON I hope to have a steady time.

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm back on the bean, everybody! Double shots on me!!!!

[jesus loves me]

I'm back on the bean, everybody! Double shots on me!!!!HOORAY! :D I will pass out the Bailey's when you're ready! Love those double shots!

[Genna14]

I'll take three double shots and not of coffee!

[NurseBettyLu]

Nobody gets drinkies until I can. Check back next week.

[Genna14]

boooooo but ok

[NurseBettyLu]

Gotta wait till the antibiotics clear my system. Tetracycline + alcohol =

[jesus loves me]

Not good, we'll both wait! Let me know so I can break out the Bailey's. Mudslide coffee for those who want, just Bailey's for those who want.

[NurseBettyLu]

Mmmm! Coffee!!!! I had a pizza today.

[jesus loves me]

Wow, you are making up for lost time! Pizza AND coffee in one day! I shall be heading for the iced, soon.

[NurseBettyLu]

And I'm still alive.

[jesus loves me]

That's the most important part of the whole thing!

[Genna14]

Gotta wait till the antibiotics clear my system. Tetracycline + alcohol =
How nice.


Well on the plus side, Mark and Biffle made the chase tonight YAY! This puts Mark Martin in the points lead with Tony just 10 points behind him. It's almost like starting the season all over again! Biffle's in 12th with no bonus points. (You get bonus points for each win)

I say triple shots for my top three being in. ;)

[NurseBettyLu]

[jesus loves me]

[pamcharlie]

Oh i so missed the coffee thread last week i will be here all this week

[NurseBettyLu]

Yay Pam! Coffee thread not the same without ya! Whatcha been drinking lately?

[Genna14]

I know you werew asking Pam but I'm still doing the tea thang. I'm enjoying my Sleepytime and apple cinnamon spice.

[NurseBettyLu]

Sleepytime rocks.

[Genna14]

Yes. Yes it does. I had peppermint this morning. :)

[jesus loves me]

The cardiologist wants me to give up Black Silk for something a lighter roast. Not going to happen - exactly. I'm going to get a can of Folger's whatever and mix it with Black Silk :( :( :( :(

[jesus loves me]

Oh i so missed the coffee thread last week i will be here all this weekSHE'S BAAACK! How you doing?

[pamcharlie]

SHE'S BAAACK! How you doing?

I am fine , thankfully i am doing proper driving lessons and i am drinking heaps of green tea and other herbal teas and water and juice

[Genna14]

BAH!

[NurseBettyLu]

They'll get my Black Silk away from me when they pry it out of my cold, dedd fingers...

[jesus loves me]

BAH!Yeah, and I didn't even mention that when I drink iced coffee that one FULL pot only makes 2 glasses!

[jesus loves me]

They'll get my Black Silk away from me when they pry it out of my cold, dedd fingers...That's how I feel and he didn't say I'd die if I drink it, but I am willing to at least try and do half that and half something a lighter roast *sighs sadly*

[Genna14]

how is a lighter roast going to help??

[NurseBettyLu]

I don't see it either.

[pamcharlie]

Did you know that by drinking 3 to 4 cups of green tea a day great lowers your risk for heart diease

[Genna14]

Did you know for every cup of green tea, you'll have to pee three times as often?

[NurseBettyLu]

So the lowered risk of heart disease is due to all the extra exercise you get from running to the loo all the time?

[jesus loves me]

how is a lighter roast going to help??He said it has less caffeine and caffeine affects how fast the heart beats.

[jesus loves me]

Did you know that by drinking 3 to 4 cups of green tea a day great lowers your risk for heart dieaseThat leaves me out as I can't have herbal stuff with the heart drug I'm on.

[jesus loves me]

So the lowered risk of heart disease is due to all the extra exercise you get from running to the loo all the time?ROTFL!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'd stop and laugh too, but I gotta go back to the johnny pot.

[jesus loves me]

*giggles*

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm having chocolate milk tonight. In a good mood.

[jesus loves me]

I had chocolate soy milk this morning. Getting near java time for me.

[NurseBettyLu]

And chocolate milk for me.

[jesus loves me]

You only drink coffee at night when you work?

[NurseBettyLu]

Right. And usually black while I'm at work.

[jesus loves me]

I go now for my nighttime coffee. 'Night, Beth enjoy the chokkies!

[NurseBettyLu]

'Night, Laurie. Sleep tight.
