I have to have my coffee first thing every morning.
And, I have to have it ready for me, all brewed and all I have to do is pour a cup. If it's not ready and I have to make it myself, well, watch out, because something will surely go wrong- I'll spill the coffee, the water, or overflow the pot, then my whole day will start off on the wrong foot.
And, don't talk to me before I have my first cup either. It won't do you any good because I can't hear you and I won't answer back!
That's how strongly I feel about my coffee, lol!!! :)
It sounds like some of you are just the same way I am!

We love our coffee here. Buy green beans, roast and grind then brew. Yummy good and smells heavenly. And we still sleep well ... go figure.

Hi Peapicker ~ I've had arthritis for several years and was getting hooked on Aleve and Tylenol until I heard of a more natural way of reducing the aches and pains of it. Every morning I drink a cup of 100% PURPLE grape juice laced with Certo ... 1 cup grape jc to 1 Tbsp Certo. To make it more simply, I add one envelope of Certo (comes two to a box) to a quart of purple grape juice. It has helped me tremendously and only do the Aleve or Tylenol when things get really bad. Hope this helps someone! Sharon

Thanks Sharon. I will give a try. I have problems with arthritis occasionally, mostly in the winter months. I am trying to get off otc pain killers as much as possible. I have problems with ulcers too, so I have to be careful what I use. This sounds like it might work. I will let all of you know in a couple of weeks. Thanks a bunch!
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Yes ... give it a couple of weeks to take hold. Sure hope it works for you as well as it does for me. Found this hint years ago on a Q&A from a doctor who writes ongoing articles for our local newspaper. The grape juice has an added benefit for your blood as well.

Heather:
I have several favorite coffee cups. I broke one of them just last week. But, while I drink the first cup of strong coffee in a trace, I always read or look at the coffee cup. LOL

Marly I was in the service for 10 years and learned to sleep when you can, even standing up if need be. Coffee has just never kept me awake like some people. I make a 12 cup pot in the morning. I give my hubby 1 cup and the rest is mine. I drink it all through out the day, the darker it get the better I like it. By early evening another pot is made and once again he get's 1 and the rest is mine. LOL I drink Folgers medium blend and only because my hubby can't take it as strong as me. If he's not looking I sneak in a couple scoops of Bustelo which is a veryyyyy strong Latin ground. If it was just me I'd drink it thick as black tar.
You can't sleep cause your laughing so hard from your book reading. LOL And your worried about those little boys wetting the bed, it has nothing to do with coffee! LOL You're just to funny!
Smiles, Melody June

A coffee mug swap would be great! Should we make it a Christmas theme?

I like coffee every now and then. I love going to starbucks with my mom and sister and getting a mocha or something. I can't drink to much because I find I don't feel well afterwards.

When i was a teenager, my mother informed me that I needed to learn how to drink coffee, or I would be a social failure. I can remember my brother and me making coffee for our parents when we were little and staggering upstairs with it on a tray, usually about half the coffee slopped over.
Well, I learned how to drink coffee, I learned to love coffee, but I am still a social failure. And now I'm a little bit of a coffee snob to boot. I think part of the lure of the coffee is that it is such a nice, communal beverage. I often go out with qa friend for coffee, or bum a cup, or we make a pot at my house, One time I was at a restaurant with my friend Georgeanne, and the waitress asked us if we would like a refill, but that it would cost us an extra dollar. Georgeanne thought that was terrible and told the witress that coffee is the drink of hospitality and that a refill shouldn't be charged for. The waitress agreed and said she'd suggested that to the owner, or having the price raised so that a refill wouldn't cost anything.
When I was first married, my sister, who lived in New York City used to send us fresh roasted coffee beans every once in a while. I swear we could smell the UPS truck as it came up the driveway....
