Lori Yep, it's good for you!

When I first moved to Seattle, I couldn't fathom the amount of coffee people drank and yet they still did everything soooooo slow, what would they be like without all those lattes, ha!

I can not drink coffee after a certain time or else it does keep me up, but I've known many who can drink it any time.

And I can not function at all before I have at least a few sips. One time I was visiting my in-laws and had a whole pot (I usually just have one huge mug and I'm fine) but was dragging all day lone, so so sleepy even after all that coffee! Happened the next day too. Turns out they were giving me decaf and didn't think I'd notice! They went out and bought some regular for me.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Yay!

I've been drinking one cup early in the morning, but I still drink too much diet coke. I'm more or less useless before I drink coffee now, too...luckily no one is up when I'm in useless mode.

Your inlaws are evil!


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments This one goes into the "Duh!" file, I think.

Sarah (songgirl7) RA, I remember when you didn't like coffee.

I can't function without it, and I need it all day long.

Sarah (songgirl7) Gah, typo in that article! "It helps you get want you want"???

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Sarah, I'm still afraid of espresso:) I'm intimidated by coffee shops, so I just for "strong black" and hope I get something good.

Maybe I'll drink one cup of coffee in the afternoons instead of two diet cokes.

Hahaha!!! That's so cute, RA! Don't be scared, RA. Maybe you should start out with some chocolate covered espresso beans.




message 8: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) I thought you liked coffee shops because the girls who work in them are so cute.


message 9: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments That's a fringe benefit.:)

I swear, it's like some kind of rule. Cute girls work in coffee shops. Maybe now that all the record stores are closing they migrated to coffee shops. And airports.

And libraries.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments The girls at the Royal Bean out here (it's a stand) are pretty cute. But I usually get hipster guys at my coffee place in downtown Olympia, the ones with black glasses' frames and messy hair.

(That's a lot of possessive apostrophes. I'm sorry but I just can't abide.)


message 14: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yeah. i do that just for you guys to get your BP up. i don't think about grammar on a regular basis.

sally - you LOVE to bust my chops !!!

hey, who all does it torque when i only use lower case letters?


message 15: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments yay BunWat. you get upper case letters for that show of support.


message 16: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) And aside from the misuse of 's, Kevin, the plural of espresso is espressi, and the plural of cappuccino is cappuccini. I do give you extra points, however, for knowing it isn't "expresso."

Due espressi, per piacere!
(DOO-ay es-PRESS-ee, pair pee-a-CHAIR-ay [rolling Rs:])


message 17: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) And, yes, I'm being difficult on purpose. Prego!


message 18: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) In English, it would be expressos, then, because most people seem to pronounce it that way.


message 19: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments flippin' tough crowd. Lucky I am ok with being grammatically challenged. I am more hip than a semicolon


message 20: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) You want it back? Was there ever a time when two negatives didn't make a positive?


message 21: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) How is that even possible? If something is "not never" then that means it is sometimes. If I don't not want something, then I want it. If it don't make no sense, than it makes some sense.


message 22: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments maybe I should join a NASCAR group


message 23: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell In Italian a double negative does not express a positive. It expresses an intensified negative.


message 24: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) Dave, I did know that about Italian. And it's not about the rules of math, it's about the rules of logic. If something is not no, then it's yes.


message 25: by Dave (new)

Dave Russell You're expressing your logic in English though.


message 26: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (songgirl7) So long as I don't expresso it in English, I'm okay with that.


message 27: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments sarah, actually that should have said express and the correct spelling is espresso with the plural being espressi

just pointing that out
