    I've been coffeeless since I got sick... I like to add sugar, and I didn't want to feed the machine, lol.

    Morning everyone :)

    Morning Resty,

    No coffee, how are you surviving? I always figured that people who go insane and start shooting people are the ones who went without coffee for an extended period. Coffee is my crutch, without it I might as well book a room in the looney bin. ;)

    retsoksirhc
    Lol HC

    I agree that black is good... but I don't like the taste of the coffee we have at work black. I'm a big fan of my good ol can of folgers, no addatives. We've got some fancy stuff, in k-cups, here.

    Giggle, Resty, you make me laugh.

    I personally like my coffee with milk and sugar, not a fan of black, to bitter. You know they say you are what you eat, well apparently I'm really sweet, whoda thunk? ;)

    Hello everyone!

    @ work. It's been a few days since I've had coffee... trying to wean myself off until I get to Prague... heard their coffee is ridiculous.

    How's everyone doing?

    Morning Sneezy!

    I have a house full of Sneezy's today, but not happy go lucky ones. The weather is gorgeous, I'm planning on continuing with my spring cleaning. The fam and I are supposed to go to a huge indoor garage sale tomorrow, it's a yearly event, but if we don't feel better we're going to have to miss it. Sunday is mother's day, wonder if I'll get anything. ;)

    I went to Johnson Space Center in Houston, which was really cool.

    I wonder if Kennedy is just as cool?
  • May 9, 2008, 07:35 AM
    retsoksirhc
    I'm sure it is. I went the day there was a launch scheduled, it was so cool to see them getting ready for it. We were in the space center when it was open late... it was a nighttime launch. Unfortunately, they called it off because the clouds were too thick, but when tehre is a launch they set up a whole viewing area. There's some bleachers and stuff, and they bring out a big TV on a truck, and have interviews and stuff. You could see the shuttle on the TV with the lights shining up on it, and you're about a mile away from the actual launchpad... you can see the lights shining up in the sky too. It's amazing.

    One of these days I'm going to get down there when another launch is scheduled.

    I've been to both... they are both equally as cool... :) Amazing what technology can do, isn't it!

    Are we feeling a little "low" today bippy? Well sit up straight, take a deep breath and be glad that you are still very young... you haven't even seen 40 yet..! :D
  • May 9, 2008, 08:20 AM
    Alty
    Thanks Stringer, I'm not really feeling low, just sick, tired, maybe a wee bit grumpy because I still have tons of cleaning to do and I have a house full of sick people to top it off, myself included. 40's right around the corner, not much further to go, but I'm young at heart and always will be, until they put me 6 feet under that is. :);)

    I remember sexy suits too. That was 50 lbs ago :P

    /hugs Alty

    I know what low days are like... let's indulge in coffee and popcorn and a romance novel
  • May 9, 2008, 08:39 AM
    Alty
    I could so do all those Synn, a good romance novel sounds great. :) Popcorn, mmmm, haven't had popcorn in a long time, and coffee, hee, hee, can't live without it, especially not today. :)

    /hugs back at you Synn. :)

    I think that when we are "young" God/nature is good to us; good bodies, cute/handsome, lots of energy, etc... but when we get somewhat older we receive the best yet; some wisdom and you can't complain about that. Maybe from all our experiences... but I think it is a gift.

    Now some never do acquire this gift of wisdom (do you know some). And they are just plain stupid (sorry but true) and I had someone tell me that they could deal with anything except stupid.. "cause you can't even scrub stupid off no matter how had you try.":p

    EDIT: Got to go to a business meeting... later...
