Your car is stuck in the driveway thanks to 5ft of snow, GOD knows where your snow shovel is, so you put on your jacket, your “close enough snow” boots, and you head out in the middle of a snow storm and blizzard to the store on foot that is 4 blocks away from your house…

Hey it was freeeeeezzzzzinng inside my house, my furnace shut off and the children had all the blankets…I asked my next door neighbor for her help that night, she and her son stayed over and I went and got the COFFEE!!! Because I RAN OUT!!!

I am ashamed!! 😦 :o 😊

BUT look at this way, we had a nice and warm night, and slept very cozy sharing one blanket and lots of coffee!!!

My bf said he has never seen anyone like coffee so much. I love it cold or hot!! 😃 Have you tried a CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO FROM STARBUCKS…OH those are so addicting… Since my bf isn’t a coffee drinker I made him a bet, I bet him that I would quit drinking coffee if he didn’t like the Caramel Frappuccino, and if he never wanted to try it again… HE LOST THE BET and GOT ADDICTED TOO!!! 😦 lol :eek: :eek:

I am a bad influence!!! 😊

This reminds me of a story our old pastor told us about the time he gave up coffee for Lent. Apparently he was so grouchy that some of his friends told him that if he truly wanted to please God he would never give up coffee for Lent again.

I tried giving up coffee for Lent. I lasted about three days until the headache was so bad that I could barely function. Gave up chocolate for the rest of that Lent. Not easy, but not detrimental to those around me. 😊

I am working on giving up sugar (mostly desserts) this New Year. I think I can do that better than giving up caffeine.
 
Have ya tried cold coffee, it’s delicious!!!

Ewwwwwww

Just don’t like coffee sweetie. Now Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Coke is another matter. Because they serve a purpose like taste good when your thirsty.

LOL… that’s what my bf said when I suggested he tried it… He didn’t like coffee that much but yup, he loves mountain dew, dr pepper, and coke… He also loves cherry coke, and vanilla coke… Coffee was a different story… BUT I got him hooked on CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO FROM STARBUCKS!! NOW he can’t get enough of it… :eek: 😃

Yes. For five years in a row, my Lenten penance was that my Pastor gave up coffee for Lent.

him >>> :mad: | :eek: <<< me - in Confession.

He gets a coffee card from me, every Easter. 🙂

…reading a post on CAF about coffee makes you want a cup of coffee, but you can’t find the french press that you tucked away somewhere because you were going to be so good and give up coffee for the New Year…so you have to settle for black tea instead and all you can think of is a good cup of coffee with cream.

Dangit. :mad:

Tea would do it for me after Noon but before that it’s Coffee or Headache. I stumble to the kitchen around 6 a.m. (I don’t work until 9 and it’s only a 7 minute drive), grind my dark roast fair trade beans (or Tim Hortons blend if I’ve run out of beans and have forgotten to go to the store) and make a 4 cup pot. Have my first cup around 6:15. Wake up around 7:30.

You are completely out of every form of sugar in your house except molasses and marshmallows…

and you melt marshmallows in your coffee because you need it sweetened at least a little.

Yes, I have done this twice this morning… I am such a pathetic addict. 😛

Question is, are you a true addict if you need it sweetened? 😛
 
In a desperate attempt for coffee (I can’t drink it black) I’ve tried
-marshmellows
-cool whip
and even breastmilk :eek:
(the coolwhip and breastmilk were absolute disasters lol)
 
Cool Whip is vegetable oil with flavoring.

But don’t feel badly about it. I only liek cream/ milk, not sweetener, so imagine my disgust when Fluff did not whiten my coffee.
 
I am dying here, came home from work, barely had time to eat before I fell asleep for three hours. It’s only been one day and the headache is starting to squeeeeeeze my brain, I can feel the pulse pounding up side my haid. 3 more days of tests before I can have coffee again, and CCD starts tomorrow, great 200 rowdy kids that should help.

Once you go black, you never go back! Coffee as it was meant to be :coffeeread: One of my Christmas presents was a bag of Sidamo coffee beans. :cool:

I drink both, but white and sweet has become more like a coffee-based drink, first step to frappaccino rosa iluminato. 😛

BTW, dipping Nutella sandwiches in black coffee is great breakfast. 😛

As is Coffee Mate. BLECH!! Even when I drank my coffee ‘white’ I couldn’t stand Coffee Mate. Carnation evaporated milk was a delicacy by comparison.

Now it’s black with the spoon standing straight up – if not dissolving.:coffeeread:
 
I don’t do Coffee Mate either. I do milk, even if it is evaporated or (worse to me) skim…But I LOVE cream or half & half…

Prayers for good results on your medical tests and for your CCD. :gopray:

I drink strong coffee and tea ALOT, but I found I had to switch to de-caf coffee after two cups because I noticed the caffeine was affecting me. I discovered that when eating chocolate covered expresso beans I got :bounce:, then crashed :hypno: . Aren’t beans suppose to be healthy?

Here’s hoping you can join us in a cup of bean water in a few days time. Cheers–here’s to PuzzleAnnie’s health. :coffee:

Jelly beans are healthy; coffee beans, less so. 😃
