The Coffee Thread

You know it's funny, I live about 30 minutes from Seattle and I hardly ever have coffee. In my town there is probably 6 or 7 Starbucks and about 10-15 other coffee shops. I don't know I just never got in to coffee I guess, not that many people in my family when I was growing up drank coffee.

Whenever I go to Starbucks I usually just get a plain old hot chocolate or I get a vanilla bean frappuccino, it's SOOOO good

I am pretty sure coffee is a acquired taste, sort of like cigarettes. In high school some of my 'friends' wanted to see me smoke and they would bug me everyday and I finally gave in one day and had a drag and I almost threw up from the taste (and I didn't even hold it in, I just breathed right out. I thought that was how you smoke)

IMO the taste of coffee is pretty bad, I was in the leadership class in my high school and everyday we would go to the student store and brew some coffee and I would have some every few days and I would have to make a mixture of like 60% french vanilla creamer stuff and only around 40% coffee just to drown out the taste of coffee. I know some people drink coffee because it gives them energy, but I have ADHD and things like coffee and energy drinks have the opposite effect on me, I usually get tired and sluggish. I still drink energy drinks occasionally though because they help me concentrate because I can relax and focus on things easier.

I have some instant coffee and having stopped drinking tea, I drink coffee now and again. Getting through this one on my own.

I like brewing a cup on my k-cup machine and adding milk and icecubes and since I cannot have real sugar I add coconut palm sugar not as good but I put cinnamon and it gives it a nice flavor.

Hmmmm,  this is a nice break from the bleak responses to porn.   Coffee!! I can't get through the day without it - I think so anyway.   I am just a simple straight forward black, dark roast, no sugar or cream or milk.   Fresh ground is always preferred as well.   Ahhh, the aroma of fresh ground and brewed coffee......fill me up!

I love Mountain Dew. I used to freeze it as a child and then eat it frozen.

I actually quit drinking coffee when I broke three bones in my left foot. I couldn't even walk on it for at least eight weeks. So I used a wheelchair and my daughter helped me.

Or also like to add chocolate milk mix or raw cane sugar too to a cuppa coffee. But, we are out.

My daughter showed me a coffee mug that had three lines on it. The first line said, don't talk to me yet. The middle line said, I'm almost there. The last line said, it's OK to talk now Lol.

We tilled up our front yard last fall and then started in on the back yard and the tiller broke. So, Home Depot refunded the money we spent to rent it.

I have to weed and feed the front  this week and then seed it again in about a month and a half. This clay soil down in the South ins't conducive to growing things. We did bring in a truck load of dirt about 9 years ago after we took down 30 trees.
