Don't drink coffee, but lots of tea, but
am quitting the tea. Thank you kindly
Sounds like you need another triple shot coffee drink
I thought you were going to tell me your kids told you something great about yourself.
Loved Lolabug's response (at least your not in denial) HA HA HA.
I read this and thought...wow...now there's someone who knows herself. HA HA. The only thing that I am best at doing is keeping my mouth shut when DH is yelling at me for something I didn't do.
Have been loads of places
Greece, Mexico (5x there), Puerto Rico, Bahamas (4x there, Jamica, Alaska and my hubs fav is Las Vegas (6x there)- I was only in Jamica for a week but had a blast there, so much to do. I probably would save my favorite and most gorgeous (water included) was probably Alaska. Very hard trip for me, so far and I thought only trip of a lifetime but I think I have changed my mind and would love to return. It would be between Jamica and Alaska and I am past the beach thing now. Have a great time!
Go to etsy.com. They have loads of beaded
NMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
These people are in Hollywood with loads of money.
She'll have a nanny and her Mom's writing a book or something or parenting, so she'll be good to go.
What I don't like is the fact that 7-year-old daughter watched that show on Disney, as I'm sure other young girls have, and I don't think that's setting a very good example for her to be in a school setting and then be an unwed, young mother. Maybe I'm from the old school, but I think it says a lot for this young girl and her decision making. I actually read an article online that said the father of this child was not planning on this, but he'll make a great Dad... How does he not plan on it? It does take two? Do they not know of birth control? This is what makes me think it was planned and for show and for all of us to comment on and make a big deal about it.
They have money, they'll be fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whether full pit or mixed pit, loads of shelters will NOT
let them be adopted out. I was at a shelter the other day, lady came in wanting to retrieve a pit her daughter had taken from her home in a drug bust. The person was told could not let go, it was a pit and the woman said but it is not full and the answer was NO difference, mixed, full they are a danger to society and the people who would adopt know this. The shelter has sign on door (pits have green signs on their individual place) and the sign says no pure or mixed pits adopted out. Don’t you just think maybe these people who have had experience with the breed probably onto something? Naaaa, people just want to keep thinking otherwise. Your life, not mine.
I have an older dryer (10 yrs) and dry about 4 loads a week sm
(small family). Last summer I began drying 3 out of 4 on the line. My electric bill dropped by half, from about $75 or 80 per month to around 40. (Small house, small utilities.)
http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/dryers.html - Interesting link about estimating the cost / savings benefits.
Refinancing, nope. We have been paying loads on
the principal and started out with over $220,000 in 2004 and already under 97,000. If we refinanced might get a shyster deal, know who we are with, trust them and do not want any additional burden such as the refinancing charge to apply.
I was off today and pretty much was a slug all day. I did 2 loads of laundry,
I never do that, but it sure felt good at the moment. Of course, tonight, I spent some time in the bathroom...what goes in, must come out I guess. 
A coffee pot. No more instant coffee!!! :-) nm

Good way to make loads of money, surrogate mothering
Watching a news show this morning and I am seeing a 42-year-old woman who is a surrogate mother. I am really taken aback at seeing this as most 42 year olds would be considered a higher maternal risk because of their age. The surrogate mothering agency says they have seen a dramatic increase in the people wanting to rent their uterus. The agency said the surrogates make between $18,000 and $20,000 something for each baby. Would you be one?
You better believe it was! I would say better than the drink!!!
GOOD FOR YOU!
I drink at
Folgers instant.
I once owned an espresso machine, but the coffee gave me nystagmus :)
My drink on break
I think today at the mall I will order something to drink that I hate instead of getting what I like. That way I can complain. Same theory as continuing to read what one considers immature and boring in lieu of just going on and developing your own constructive topics that you like.
Thanks...and I drink almost never...I occasionally buy (sm)
wine coolers or something and leave them in the fridge thinking they will last me a couple of months and every time I go to look for one they are all gone (even though he claims not to even like them).
Does either one drink in excess?
If so go with the other. lol
I know I don't drink enough water...sm
I also have interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder inflammation) so I should definitely be drinking more water than I do. When I drink any carbonated drink, my bladder hurts the next day. I had a cystoscopy in September to diagnose this, and my bladder was all red and inflamed with little red pinpoint bleeding in it. When I do pee tests I have chronic white blood cells from the inflammation. So yes I would say I need to drink lots of water.
Your drink of choice?
Tonight I will be having club soda, cranberry juice and vodka with a twist of lime. Maybe two.....
I have a liquor cabinet filled, so what can I get ya?
rarely drink but when I do...
blended mudslide or white russian please!!!
:)
have a good one
HECK NO!! I can eat what i want, drink what i want
it's time to eat all the cheesburgers and milkshakes I want!!! I'm looking forward to old age :)
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
I never drink while working.
Or work while drinking. I have done homework for school while drinking, however. Back deck, barbecue, Corona with lime, and the laptop.
Drink plenty of water...
I try to start my day with a pitcher of ice water on desk, like a 2-liter bottle and try to drink that during my shift, which really helps. Hubby and I went on program with Dr. and took Adipex and B12/B complex and followed the attached diet. We were on 1500 cal/day and he lost 65 and I lost 35. We quit taking the adipex but stayed with the diet. I lost 30 on this same diet several years ago too. It is well rounded. Somewhere I have an 1800 cal if you are interested. You don't count calories, it is already figured out for you. Daily meal plan gives you a break down of what to eat in a day (1 bread, 1 fruit, etc)and then the individual breakdown (breads, meat, etc.) lets you know what these include. (i.e. 1 bread - 1 slice of bread, 1 fruit 1 small apple or 1/2 cup canned fruit). No expense of buying diet products and you can eat regular food with your family. Funny. We used to eat 2 center cut chops a piece and with this we would split 1! There are free foods too so you could pile up a big salad for lunch and save other stuff for dinner. We did not quit drinking sodas, just switched to diet cokes 0 calories as opposed to 140 or so per drink. Good luck.

Of course! Just don't eat or drink while you're reading

I was one of the ones who was able to drink at age 18 back in the 1970s
I really don't have a problem with it, at all, but maybe for the 18-21 year old crowd, there should be a license, the same for driving. In fact, link the two together. Take a written test to get a tag to the driver's license that will allow the young person to purchase alcohol. If there are any infractions such as drunk in public, for instance, not only is the drinking privilege revoked, but so, too, the drivers license.
Barring that, as another posted stated, I say raise minimum military service age to 21.
Oh please, some people can drink responsibly
and it's nice to have a glass of wine socially here and there. This is not about that.
Try both *ROFL* - drink away *chuckles*...
today is my day off, think I'll join ya.......*lol*
My favorite hot Starbucks drink is...
a grande soy pumpkin spice latte with no whip cream. I have acquired a taste for coffee though, so I can't really tell you if they have a strong coffee taste. Their frozen frappacino things don't taste much like coffee - my 11-year-old niece loves them and she obviously does not like coffee! I say try their smallest size (a tall) and see what you think of the hot lattes. The talls only have 1 shot of espresso and the mediums (grande) have 2 shots.
My favorite coffee drinks are the frozen coffees at Baskin Robbins. You can get whatever kind of ice cream you want mixed with their coffee mix - to die for. I only let myself get 1 or 2 a year though because they are very fattening and expensive. Ice Rages are also delicious cold coffee drinks, and you can get them almost anywhere. The cookies and cream flavor doesn't taste like coffee to me. mmmm, now I need to go and have a cup of coffee! Just an fyi in case you didn't know - a regular cup of coffee suposedly has about 135 mg of caffeine and a shot of espresso has about 35 mg. That's what I read in a magazine anyway, so a latte (with just 1 shot of espresso) is mostly milk with just a little bit of coffee.
Or you can drink alcohol at home : )

nonalcoholic drink ideas
i love iced mocha but with them being so expensive these days (and me working at home) i took a shot at my own recipe and i must say it turned out pretty good. you have to play around with how sweet, chocolately, etc you want it but basically here's how it goes:
i freeze my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and then store them in a plastic baggie. you could brew fresh and do the same.
add the coffee cubes with milk, sugar, and hershey's chocolate syrup to the blender. blend away until you get the consistency that you want. i'm sure it would be better if you added cream instead of milk but i make do with what i have. add whip cream and chocolate syrup on top and its pretty dang close to those you buy for $4-5 a pop. :)
also, amaretto flavoring (usually found in the coffee aisle and nonalcoholic) is a good addition to regular warm coffee or to icecream and milk in the blender for an amaretto milk shake. its really yummy and a nice change.
also some wineries (and grocery stores but wineries let you taste) sell bottles of sparkling grape juice or cider. some even come flavored with raspberries and have a pink blush to them. mix that with orange juice for a fake mimosa (sp?).
you can also buy margarita mix without the alcohol and blend it up with ice and a little water.
Have also heard you can drink 1 beer
and 8 glasses of water.
My aunt is elderly but her husband used to drink
This was the love of her life and they had a child together. They both worked, lived with her mother to help her out on bills after her husband died and everything except his drinking went ok. After finding him in ditches, getting DUIs, passing out and the like, nothing worked. After probably 20 something years my aunt divorced him because she knew he probably would kill himself, kill someone else or something horrible. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him but just could not live like that. That was over 40-50 years ago. She still speaks of him fondly (he died in another state in a ditch but had her phone number in his pocket) but I am sure she thought she always made the right decision. Myself, I just would not want to go through that, too much else to keep me busy. Thank goodness no children for you- would be really hard to subject a child to that.
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Oh honey...go take a pill and have a stiff drink too...
some kids are just plain bratty and mean, bios and steps, no matter what the age. Many kids know how to manipulate the situation to their advantage, especially kids from divorce. Some of us are adult enough to see through it and make others aware. Nothing wrong with kids coming first, however, parents need to know when to reign little Tommy or Susie in and stop catering to them all the time.
drink tonic water...it has the quinine it it.
Cheaper than a prescription drug. Taste like crap but it works.
100% Columbian was so bitter, couldn't drink it!
Now I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Maybe it's our water.
Favorite drink is Coca Cola, bar none.
Remember back in the mid-80's when they felt they needed to compete with Pepsi, and came out with that horrible 'New Coke'? My boyfriend and I (both Coca Cola addicts) were SO sad when *real* Coke disappeared from California. One time we were driving in Montana and came upon a little store in the middle of nowhere, which had cases of REAL Coke! We sure surprised the store-owner when be bought every box he had in the store!
Learned to smoke, drink, cut classes
Graduated in the 70s. Took dancing lessons and big big big into disco. Almost entered in the show Disco Fever. I was a little overweight, certainly not popular in the "cliques". Had friends from grammar school, scouts & 4H I hung around with (those are still my friends today). I was shy and stuttered when having to speak in front of groups (still do). I wasn't a "studier" - received mostly Cs (failed science, gym & history - or barely passed). No boyfriends. Pretty boring overall, but I'd trade everything in now and do it all again.
Oh for crying out loud! Drink some warm milk and
ajd;d
Totally agree! Lots of people under 21 drink anyway
so what is the point???? If they were to set a legal age, I think it should be 18.
I am getting a lot of fever blisters on my lip lately and am wondering what triggers them. I drink
a lot of sugar substitute drinks and am wondering if this could be doing this. Anyone ever figure out anything like this as far as triggers.
I like Barnies, hate DD, drink Folgers at home sm
I can't afford to buy more expensive right now, but I truly love Barnies coffee. It may be regional here in Florida, but if I splurge, I buy their Cool Cafe Blues. Holidays, I buy Santa's White Christmas, which Publix makes as an ice cream. Yum!
Is it safe to drink unopened canned items
That have been refrigerated for a couple weeks. Found a can of pineapple juice my husband put in the refrigerator a couple weeks ago, but didn't open. I know it's not safe to put open cans in the refrigerator, not sure about something that has not been opened yet.
You might be compressing a nerve in your spine or neck. Get up often. Drink all day long. See your
s
my youngest daughter puts her in the lunchbox just to keep her drink cold, but my oldest never does
sick yet. If their school is like my daughters' schools they eat about 3 hours after school starts so I would not think there would be a problem.
Try some herb teas and seltzer with lemon or lime to drink. Veggies & hummus

Coffee??
My hubby and I love McDonalds coffee. I am currently using Folgers, but it actually tastes bitter. Any smooth coffees out there that might be your favorite or something close to McDonalds? Thanks.
Coffee, coffee and more coffee.

Why does she see have a cup of coffee with her
hubby each morning you ask? BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO A HAPPY MARRIAGE! Always have a cup of coffee with your husband before he leaves for work because you can always go back to bed! This was told to me by a woman I worked with that was passed down from her mother. Staying in bed back in those days (before women worked outside of the home) was considered lazy. I always get up and have a cup of coffee with my husband, and I see the kids off to school. I can always go back to bed, but I don't. I just start typing, which usually leads to laundry, more typing, straightening up the house, more typing, trolling this board, more typing, petting the cat, more typing, and then more COFFEE!!!!! lol Have fun!
oh but I think we DO get together for coffee...s/m
virtually/cyberly speaking, that is *grin*
Coffee for four?
 Mission accomplished everyone! Got an email from my mutual friend on this board and I have replied. It is nice when you finally know a first name. I will admit I can talk you under the table about my love for dogs. At first it seemed impossible to know each one of the breeds by name when I would watch the American Kennel Club Dog Show and Westminster, but now with 167 breeds in AKC I am right up with them. However, that will quickly go to 169 when they welcome two new breeds into the club, which I think is to be very soon. When I went to a show in April they introduced the new hound, the Plott. It is really beautiful.
Thanks for your nice comments!
