    Ah, but the sad thing is, what would I be without my coffee?

    Dull, boring, worker drone... that's sad.

    Very sad indeed. I love coffee, I love talking about it and hearing about it, I love it all together. I am hooked and never looking back.
    I was just reading through some old posts and drinking a good cup, and it feels so good... BUT, now I got to fill my cup and do something constructive... lol

    Hi all, wow you've been busy.:)

    I was cleaning house and wiping snotty noses, how are you doing with your nothe Starty, please don't ask me to wipe it, I've had enough.

    One of my bunnies is sick and I've been doing my best to get her up to par. She's my sweetie, the closest thing to a cat that isn't actually a cat. She'll sit on your lap while watching a movie, she licks and cuddles, she's my little lovey.

    I've had two pots of coffee today and it's now 3pm here in good old Canada. The snow is dripping of the roof and it sounds like heaven to me. Ah, coffee and melting snow, now only if the kids felt better.:p

    I wonder how Bunny coffee beans would taste, has to be better than weasel butts and they come out looking very much like they went in. Any thoughts?

    Hey all, I'm getting a bit paranoid. I come to say hi and everyone seems to have left. Where are all my buddies? Did the rabbit poo coffee gross you out that much that I've been left persona non gratta (is that spelled right)?

    I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me. Boo Hoo.

    LOL! Naa... just got busy with emails at the end of the day... Work called, stupid work. :)

    I'm closing up shop for the night though... take care, dear!

    Mm... stopping for an espresso on the way home!

    Bye for now HChicky, talk to you tomorrow.

    Have a sip for me, I'm stuck at home with the sickies.

    1/2 hour left here... and then my darling husband will have my coffee all warmed up for me when I get home.

    Mmm... coffee.

    Synnen - I envy you, I can't drink coffee in the evening, I'd be up all night.

    I should have had some yesterday evening though, I was up all night with two sick kids and one sick bunny. Honestly, I need a nap.

    Decaf is for evenings :)

    Oh, Oh, you said the bad word. The word that should never be spoken. Dare I say it? Decaf. HChicky is going to be mad tomorrow. :)

    Don't worry, I'll help defend you, but let us make it clear. Decaf :eek: is only for the evenings.

    Well, I've got to go clean the bathroom, oh joy. I'll talk to you all later, or tomorrow, it all depends on how quick I can get my stuff done. Take care all and have a great Tuesday.

    RAH...

    I hate all day, early morning meetings...

    I'm going to be a witch in stilettos today and NO ONE can stop me!

    "Bring me coffee and back away. Resistance to my nastiness is futile."

    (I'm not addressing the whole "decaf" thing - I had some of my own late last night! ;))

    Talk to you girls later today - stupid conference goes ALL DAY.

    Rah...

    Had my time with the worm cup or should I say shot of the fames espresso. I love it. Had to get it this morning. Thank you so much for the delightful experience. I am passing this on to others. You know what? You should have called this "coffee news" and made people part of staff. I would have been good for the commercials. Lol, anyway thanks and on back to you HistorianChick.

    Hey HChicky and Scottish - Good morning to all, hope your coffee is warm and tasty.

    I woke up to an empty pot this morning, apparently I forgot to set the timer. There's nothing quite as annoying as having to wait for the coffee to brew. I almost cried.

    HChicky - Have fun in your meeting, we'll be waiting for your return.

    And good morning to you Altenweg. Yes indeed. "THIS JUST IN" I was talking to a colleague of mine today in his office and he offered me a coffee. You know me.. Anyway I said sure why not but the big problem accrued. No condiments. No Sugar cream, milk, or even coffee whitener. What to do? Since I love coffee so much I decided to have it black as he has it. What was I to do? So I drank it black. WOW the flavour adored my mouth. So I think I will have to keep trying it black for a day or so to see how it pains out. Back to you fellow coffee drinkers.

    I can't stank coffee without sugar and milk, I've tried and failed. Every time I run out of milk it brings tears to my eyes, it's just not the same without my milk. I really have to think about investing in a cow, or a goat. Hmmm, coffee and goats milk. Goats are smaller, easier to maintain, less poop. I've got to look into this whole goat idea.
  • Mar 12, 2008, 07:21 AM
    Scottish2008
    Hmm The goat idea.. I can't see it flying. Too much of a mess to clean up. Considering you always mention about cleaning. Lol just a thought.
  • Mar 12, 2008, 07:27 AM
    Alty
    Scottish - I looked on the internet to see if I could own a goat in a residential area. Apparently goats are not allowed, either are cows or chickens for that matter. Maybe I should have my milk delivered.

    You are right about the mess, but the goat would go into the backyard. The dogs already poop out there, what's another pile to pick up?:)

    Got to go refill my cup.

    Good morning to you Starty, we'll be here when you get back. I'm on my second cup as we speak. Ahhh, coffee, my sweet, sweet nectar of the Gods.

    Oh Scottish, you might have noticed that we've gone cutesy with our names. I'm now Alty, HC is HChicky and Startover is Starty. Can we call you Scotty?

    I wonder how much goat poop coffee beans sell for...

    Great, now of course I can't resist, "Beam me up Scotty.":D

    Okay, that's out of my system, I'll be good from now on, promise.:o

    FYI, there already is a mountain of poop in my backyard, the snow has finally melted enough that I'll be out there all weekend (with my rubber boots on) picking up the poop that accumulated this winter. Just so you know; 2 dogs + 6 months = allot of poop. :(

    I need more coffee!

    She's in an all day meeting today, she said she'd catch up to us later.

    Are we not entertaining enough? :(

    Cousin Elly is the world's worst at getting instructions mixed up. When she got married her husband bought her one of those fancy, electric coffee makers. It had all the latest gadgets on it. Salesman Riley carefully explained how everything worked; how to plug it in, set the timer, go back to bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready." A few weeks later Elly was back in the store and Riley asked her how she liked the coffee maker. "Wonderful!" she replied, "However, there's one thing I don't understand. Why do I have to go to bed every time I want to make a pot of coffee?"

    How about now?:)

    Scottish - Yikes, that is disturbing. I did reply, but I don't know if it will do any good. I hate not being able to fix these kinds of problems. This is one of those times that I wish I could jump through my computer to her end and give her a hug and help her out. What is it with people that they think that beating up another human being, your own flesh and blood, is okay. Arrgh, it makes me so mad.

    Is it okay to add some bailey's into my coffee now?

    Ah you are so sweet. It bothers me to no extreme. If she lived near me I would have a few choice word with her father. This calls for a cheers to you all that added to the thread. Thank you. If we all where together I would buy you all a coffee. Thanks. Ahhh The coffee that makes the day.
