I realize there are bigger problems in this world

[lizziegrace]

but I broke the carafe for my coffee maker. I think the twitching will begin soon. x(

[Breeze54]

1. Bummer!!

Can you fit a mug underneath the spout and just make a cup or two at a time?

[lizziegrace]

2. It's got this thing that you have to push up to keep the coffee flowing

My luck I'd burn myself. I found a replacement at a store near my office. I'll get one Monday.

For now, it'll be double-strength tea...

[Breeze54]

3. Just use a knife

to hold that thingamajig in until you get a cup.

I feel your pain though. :(

I have to have my coffee in the AM or I'm worth nuthin'!

4. GAH!!!

For me, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. Scary enough that I've got two spares...one glass and one thermal.

:scared:

[lizziegrace]

8. I, unfortunately, was not prepared

x(

We've got ice and snow and my luck, I'd total my new used car just going to get the carafe. :sigh:

[reyd reid reed]

10. Well, phooey.

I'll send some warm vibes your way and maybe the roads'll thaw enough?

I'm sorry.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

11. Hope so

:pals:

I'm so glad you're posting again. :hug:

5. not good

improvisation is the mother of invention, bound to something you can use.

[lizziegrace]

9. I'm looking for anything that will fit under the basket

and hold hot liquid...

;)

6. I've never had to say this to you before but - you're wrong.

There is nothing more important than coffee.
I mean, let's be honest, lizziegrace.
That said, we can now proceed with discussing the world's problems
and solving them.

[lizziegrace]

7. ...

:rofl:

I knew I liked you. :pals:

[hisownpetard]

12. And btw, that little silver tree you did for RL was wonderful.

Yer swell.

O8) :toast: :bounce: :hi: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

14. Thanks

:blush:

He's one of a kind.

[hisownpetard]

16. And, from what I hear, so are you.

Kewl.

[lizziegrace]

21. Lies!

all lies, I tell you!

;)

[SPKrazy]

13. I'd send you one on the bus

but you'd still have to get out so it wouldn't make any difference

maybe you could boil some water, put your coffee in a filter inside a strainer, and pour the boiling water slowly through the filter and coffee into the cup or pot or whatever you have under it to catch it and make some coffee? :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

15. Thank you for the thought

:pals:

I'll live. ;)

[AlCzervik]

17. imo that is a big problem and you have my sympathy.

when you replace it make sure you buy 2, always have a back up. I have 2 back up systems in case of emergencies, and no i'm not kidding.


:hug:

[lizziegrace]

22. Good idea

My nickname is Grace and it's not a compliment. ;)

I'll get two.

[MissMillie]

18. yikes.... that's important equipment

you'll be at the store replacing that before long

[lizziegrace]

23. Especially before the 29th

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. I can rush over some Starbucks.

;)

[lizziegrace]

24. Woohoo!!

And you know where all the coffee shops in your part of NYC are. ;)

:hug:

How's the writing going?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. Going great.

I hit the 90% mark today, so a week or two more, and the rough draft will be done. :D

[lizziegrace]

27. That's great!

:bounce:

[BarenakedLady]

20. I've done that

a couple times.

I'm pretty sure the world stopped until I got it replaced.

[lizziegrace]

25. Mine hasn' t quite stopped

it's just limping along. ;)
