So I'm trying to cut back on teh coffee and teh sugar and teh alcohol

[XemaSab]

Poll question: So I'm trying to cut back on teh coffee and teh sugar and teh alcohol

but this poll is about teh coffee.

I had a small half-caf coffee yesterday, about 1/3 of a medium coffee the day before, and TJ's tiny coffee samples the two days before that.

Yes, I've been sleeping a LOT this week.

I have had no coffee today, and I am feeling grumpy.

I really want to go get something, but it would be a moral failing, and I don't do moral failings.

Should I go get something, and if so, what? :shrug:

1. teh longue??

:O

[ThomCat]

2. Fresh fruit. You'll enjoy it.

I volunteer to be your "fresh fruit" for the evening. :P



(For the peanut gallery out there, yes, I'm making a gay joke. I'm gay. Deal with it.) :)

[XemaSab]

4. Well I'm straight

and female. :P

But yeah, fruit sounds good.... :9

[ThomCat]

8. Most straight people would benefit from having some fresh fruit around.

:)

We're good for you.

[XemaSab]

12. I see

:)

[KitchenWitch]

16. My life shows a definite lack of fruitiness!

:P

[ThomCat]

23. OMG! That's horrible!

:(

:hug:

We have to meet some time, and go shopping and out to eat! That will definitely help. :)

[KitchenWitch]

35. That will be simply divine!

:D

[BarenakedLady]

3. It is too late in the day for caffeine

Even if you are on the other coast, imo.

Well unless your work schedule is different.

[XemaSab]

6. This is true

If I have any caffeine now I will not sleep tonight. At least not well. :(

[Mutley]

5. I vote get teh coffee.

I've given up a lot of vices, many of which I really enjoyed, but I've vowed never to give up coffee. You can pry my 3x mocha with a ton of whip cream from my cold dead fingers!

[XemaSab]

13. Maybe I'm looking at adding in some new vices....

:P

[Mutley]

20. What could be better than coffee?

:o

[XemaSab]

31. Sent PM

;)

[Mutley]

34. ...

:o

:applause:

oKAY, I guess that's worth it. :D

[XemaSab]

37. Oh yes

And in the "What's the freakiest way anyone ever hit on you" thread... that's the guy who showed up at my house.

I'm glad you approve. :)

[DarkTirade]

7. Hmm... sugar-coffee-alcohal...

that could be a big seller...

[XemaSab]

10. So first you take chocolate almond milk

Then you add 2 shots of espresso, a hearty shot of chocolate bacardi, and a little almond extract for toppers. :9

[DarkTirade]

17. I was actually thinking about brewing some kind of coffee-flavored sugar-based rum.

But that works too. :)

[XemaSab]

18. You make your own rum?

:shrug:

[DarkTirade]

25. Not yet. :)

Actually I'd need to get all kindsa permits and liscenses and crap first to be allowed to own and run a still. I think I'll stick with the non-distilled alcohol for now.

However I did just try a new kind of yeast for my latest batch of mead... a kind that can go up to 18% alcohol. Should give this batch a little extra kick.

[XemaSab]

29. I had homemade rum once

Wow.... knocked the bejeebus out of anything store-bought. :9

[DarkTirade]

32. How many Xs? :)

I.E., how many runs through the still?

[XemaSab]

39. I don't know

I just know it was teh yummiest ever... and potent! :o

[TimeChaser]

9. Any sort of tea

If you're suffering from caffeine withdrawal, a nice pot of English breakfast tea works wonders :)

[XemaSab]

11. Hey TimeChaser,

Long time no see!

How have you been? :shrug:

[TimeChaser]

30. Tired, busy,

wish I didn't have to go to the dentist tomorrow ><

And terrified of GD :scared:

[XemaSab]

38. Dude, it's like the San Francisco zoo in there!

:o

[TimeChaser]

43. I wasn't around for the worst of the 04 primaries

So this is my first time... it's terrifying :O

[XemaSab]

44. I wasn't either

:scared:

[XemaSab]

45. Oh, and I sent PM

:P

[AlCzervik]

14. are you trying a detox or something? No coffee for me and someone at my house

will be miserable and it won't be me.

[XemaSab]

22. It's not really a detox

Just trying to be a bit healthier in the new year, and part of that is getting aggressive with combatting teh insomnia. :shrug:

[AlCzervik]

33. i stopped eating meat, eggs and cheese 10 days ago but you can take my coffee nevah!

i would think you could keep some coffee in there though, the alcohol and sugar is a good thing to try and cut back on.

[XemaSab]

40. The thing is I really LOVE coffee

But if you have it every day it's not as fun... I want it to be FUN. :D

I figure cutting back will make it so.

Cold turkey vegan? Wow... that's hardcore. I tried to go vegan, and I really couldn't do it. I really couldn't. x(

[AlCzervik]

42. well not vegan although i try to avoid wearing animals but vegetarian.

so far so good. My blood is already down which is what got me to try living without eating meat, hopefully it will last and as much as i love, love, love bacon i don't miss it.

[IzaSparrow]

15. decaf doesn't mean no caf

[XemaSab]

21. I know this

But it's a small amount of caf and it's more for the placebo effect, ya know?

[IzaSparrow]

26. wean yourself off slowly...

cold turkey is just silly, unless you're really drunk on thanksgiving night

[Quantess]

19. Are you nuts? WHY would you quit coffee?

Sigh. I just don't get some people. It takes all kinds, doesn't it.

[XemaSab]

24. Sorry.

I'm just going to log off and fill out my absentee ballot for Obama. :(

[Quantess]

27. Where's your sass? Where's your chutzpah! Where's the pizazz?

You know where? It's in that cup of coffee you never drank. Hah!

(just kidding.) I can't go a day without a little caffiene. A little is good. Coffee is actually good for you, studies have shown. It has antioxidants, and I think it's good for your liver, if I remember correctly.

[XemaSab]

41. .

:rofl:

[Initech]

28. Irish coffee - kills all three with one drink!

[harmonicon]

36. Just drink coffee. It's good and good for you.
