See! Its what I've been trying to tell people for years... Coffee is a necessary buffer! If the world drank more coffee, just think of what could happen!!!

(at least that's my reasoning when asked "how can you drink so much coffee??")

Lol I know what you mean.. Coffee saved the day once again.. And supperman thought he could do so better. HA. Hmmm If only I had an endless cup of coffee.. That would make my day.. I mean my life.. hehe.. Cheers

Made another pot...
Getting the house clean...
I knew I was missing something though... MUSIC, I need my music...

[HistorianChick]

What good would a coffeeshop be without music!! I'm playing my cardio mix right now while sipping my yummy coffee... its perfect.

I think there should be a rule, after three pages you can post whatever seems relevant to the flow of conversation, especially when you get into theological and opinion based debates.

Not so much if someone asks a technical question like how does PCR work? Not that I could see that going in more than three posts... Unless a lot of scientists were logged on and buzzed on cheap coffee.

EDIT this thread more so fast!

The reason there ISN'T such a rule is that those of us who moderate have to read all of that stuff, and keep it from getting nasty, and if it gets too far off topic, then it's a different thread entirely anyway.

Keeping a thread on track is important, especially for anyone coming to read the thread long after people have stopped posting, or if the original poster has to keep reading through EVERYTHING to get to an answer posted after the off-topic stuff.

I understand where you're coming from, but think about it from the OP's point of view, or from the moderators' :)

True. Have you had your coffee today? :)

Chocolate caramel coffee, with french vanilla creamer :)

Agreed. That's why you're the moderator and I'm not! I can't fathom trying to keep everyone on topic and on the right track... You're awesome, Syn.

Coffee is the one common bond that ties us all together... its great to be a part of such a miracle... the miracle of caffeine. It's a beautiful thing.

You see the recipe of my savior yesterday?

2 shots of espresso
1 pump White Choc
1 pump Caramel
Whipped Cream

Sounds real similar!

I actually just buy flavored beans, from a company called Berres Brothers. You can find them online. Soooooo many great flavors. I am a coffee snob--I spend a couple hundred dollars on coffee every 5 months or so.

It takes one to know one! I buy my beans online too! And only from one roaster - Green Mountain Coffee Company in Vermont. Their coffee is simply divine.

People say "want some coffee" and I ask what kind... that's bad...

LMAO, that's nothing I spend that on vanilla creamer every two months... J/K... am I? Nope I am not kidding at all!! :eek:

[Synnen]

Okay, I'm not that bad on creamer. I go through a big one once a month or so.

But coffee... I can't believe I spend between $8-$10 for a pound of beans

I'm on the regular coffee club rotation... i.e. they send me my favorite coffee once a month without me even asking for it... yeah... it comes to about $14 for one pound with S&H... Crazy...

That's not including all the extra Starbucks runs that I make every day... Course, I could be spending SO much more if I was charged based on my actual consumption. It pays being a regular customer! ;)

[Synnen]

I used to get coffee at the stands in Seattle all the time.

Then I realized how much money I was spending on that.

So... all that money I don't spend on coffee every month is now in my slush fund budget, and I use it for something more permanent. A lot of times, I stick it in the "house" fund, since I think about it when I go to buy coffee---what do I want more? A house of my own, or a shot of espresso.

The house wins almost every time.

[startover22]

I just needone more cup... please, just one more...
Have a good weekend everyone! Off to work!

[HistorianChick]

LOL! Go for it Starty! :) "Just one more" (when it comes to coffee) never hurt anyone!

Have a great weekend, my caffeinated friends!

[startover22]

There just has to be a reason why I almost walked out of this house an hour early... Holy crap...
Thank goodness I put my coffee cup in the microwave and looked at the time cause I am telling you... I must be going nuts... LOL
See, thank goodness for coffee!

I'm now having a beer. It's evening in Canada and it's been a beer kind of day.
