Happy Sunday Ya'll...Cheers! Name your poison!

[blithe spirit]

Got a favorite coffee mug...maybe you wash it everyday so you can use it every morning....or you use it all day? Or it does't matter?

Assuming most of you start the day with coffee...how do you fix it? drip, press, percolater, instant.

Brand?....Flavored or not?

Sweetner or not...cream, milk etc...

I don't drink it everyday...just on the weekends...but I do love it when I have the time to savor it and sip...its a relaxation thing for me.

For those who were there...check out the mug!!!! Memories...huh?

[blithe spirit]

If I drink like a whole pot, I get a jittery tummy if it's empty...but I can sleep no problem. After I had my heart surgery, the nurses did some kind of sensitivity thing to check if caffeine affected my heart...seemed I was ok with it.

I've got the same granite countertops in my kitchen.

No special coffee cup. Grind the beans, drink it black and strong with some stevia added.

I bought one of those bean grinders and i didn't like the results . Maybe i did something wrong . Just didn't like the taste of the coffee . Didn't have the aroma the ready ground has .

Last summer, I renovated my kitchen instead of traveling like I usually do...those contertops were my trip to Montana and Washington and maybe even Alaska too...lol. Not sure it was worth it.

i used to drink coffee but like pat it gets to me .. a strong cup of coffee can make me shake like a leaf sometimes so i avoid caffieene now .. anything with an ennne on the end .. caffiene . antihistimene , anphetenine .. if it has an enne on the end of it fugetaboutit .. i tried decaff but some how its not the same .. and i did have a favorite cup .. when i moved in here i really didn't have anything and a friend of mine brought over this cup that has a tropical scene on it .. but it was cracked .. not too bad but cracked just the same .. and somehow it kinda just fit me at that time .. cracked a little , but i still fit , ya know ?? and whenever i drank outta that cup it felt like .. freedom .. i guess you have to think like robert duval in apocalypse now .. the smell of napalm in the mornin .. smells like victory .. anyway i still have that cup .. stupid cracked cup .. but i don't like it when other people drink outta it .. most people don't wanna anyway cause its cracked .. and i even discourage em if they do .. aww.. don't use that cup .. its cracked .. and then i give em another one ..

Frenchy, you need to write a book.  I absolutely love your stream of consciousness ( or unconsciousness as the case may be) details.  I swear I would not put the book down if you wrote it.

[ProblemAgain]

cause you'd lose your place and have to start over?

[frenchy]

ehh i'm not sure i have a book in me cresty .. i'd be all over the map i think .. and the type of dicipline it would take ?? i dunno .. and i can't spell worth a shit .. and yet somehow if they spell checked it at the end i'd be pissed .. hey thats the way i talk you shitheads put it back the way it was .. but thanks for the compliment .. if i ever do write one i'll be sure you get a copy ok ?? and one for me .. so that'll be two copies they'll have to make ..

Jack Kerouac made lots with his stream of consciousness On the Road, and he's not half as good as you are.

[frenchy]

ehh.. thats probably debatable i'm sure cresty but you flatter me .. so thanks again ..

I like to write the way I talk, too, French, but this here IPad seems to have a different viewpoint. Every time I invent a word or phrase....it changes it to suit itself. It's infuriating!

[frenchy]

i'd probably pitch that ipad karin cause then i couldn't be me .. i have spell check on here but i turn it off or ignore it .. maybe there's a way to shut that thing off that goes over everything you say like a kindergarden teacher .. which .. brings back memories .. my kindergarden teacher miss derigoddis .. i'm sure i spelled that wrong .. but say it how i wrote it and that was her name .. she was a tall young beautiful blonde woman , with boatloads of patience .. and she needed it all for me ..she was one of my very best favorites .. along with my 5th grade teacher .. miss crabtree .. yup .. i really did have a miss crabtree for a teacher .. and she was young and georgous too .. i remember our 5th grade class trip to the bronx zoo and she sat in the back of the bus with me .. and we shared a bag of potato chips .. and she would laugh .. i remember standin up in the back of the bus and leadin the class in a rousin chorus of god bless my underwear .. ( it beat 99 bottles of beer in the wall thats for sure ) and it was like she was one of us .. she left at the end of that year to get married .. i think i mighta been a bit jealous .. why didn't she wait for me ?? whaaaaaahh..... that heartbreakin hussy .. just kiddin .. i think some teachers are made to be teachers .. and some just kinda fall into and hate it everyday .. not that everyday dealin with a bunch of kids can be bliss .. but i think you really do have to love kids to be a good teacher .. and if you do , then you're halfway there .. and thats the kinda book i'd write .. just little musings of life that maybe others could relate to.. nobody gets shot , ( usually ) a bloody nose here or there maybe .. kinda like dramady ..
