cookconfay · 08-26-2007, 02:22 PM

I sure can't wait very long, if at all, can you?

***indigo*** · 08-27-2007, 02:32 AM

My heads gone dizzy through all the coffee has yours?

justjo · 08-27-2007, 04:53 AM

Make it fresh, espresso style! The only way.

Japic05 · 08-27-2007, 09:03 AM

How about a cup of Hot Cocoa instead?

cinderellawkids · 08-27-2007, 11:13 AM

How many of us make it the night before so it either starts automatically or all you gotta do is press the on button?

Can you make coffee with fine expresso grounds?

Lilya · 08-27-2007, 12:26 PM

I do - I´m too lazy to prepare it when I´ve just woken up.

In France, coffee is also called "a whip stroke" and strong coffee is referred to as "tight". Do you have similar expressions for it?

Love and light,

"...Feel like grabbing a cup?" ... "Sure, make mine nice and thick..."

When I was in the store the other week, I saw a brand of coffee called "The Foglifter" -- have you ever seen it?

justjo · 08-28-2007, 06:00 AM

Nice and thick, ahhhhh, a strawberry thickshake

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 07:32 AM

What's the difference between a shake and a malt?

caraway · 08-28-2007, 08:29 AM

do you have to shake malt?

cinderellawkids · 08-28-2007, 10:09 AM

Does anyone else have to use flavored creamer?
What's your favorite?

cookconfay · 08-28-2007, 10:13 AM

Ever tried Hazelnut?

cinderellawkids · 08-28-2007, 10:29 AM

HMMMM, yum. Usually my coffee is hazelnut . Have you tried Vanilla Caramel?

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 10:47 AM

blech - don't like caramel. Do you say cara mel or kar mell?

cinderellawkids · 08-28-2007, 10:51 AM

caramel. What flovor do you like? Are we still talking about coffee?

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 11:05 AM

For creamers, I prefer the regular.

Does anyone remember when vehicles gas tanks were regular or unleaded?

cinderellawkids · 08-28-2007, 11:12 AM

How long ago was that?

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 12:08 PM

Almost 30 yrs ago. I was 15 when I got my dr lic & it was that way, then. How old were you when you got your Dr. lic.?

cookconfay · 08-28-2007, 12:14 PM

Ever heard of a hardship license?

(I got my "hardship licensce" when I was 15......31 yrs ago....

)

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 12:23 PM

Yes, I've heard of hardship license - I got my license and was driving at 15 - no learners permit - no driver's ed - no nothing - just here's your license - Drive - SCARY!!!!!
The best I can remember I have had 5 tickets in my 28 year driving career - 1 for running a traffic lite (I swear it was yellow), 3 for speeding, and 1 for a seatbelt. What about you? How many traffic tickets have you had?

cookconfay · 08-28-2007, 12:33 PM

Hmmmm, probably more than that. I know I had a wreck with a light pole, rolled one car out in the country, speeding waaaaaaaaaaaay back, seatbelt one or 2 times. But see, I am an addict/alcoholic and I know it's not a reason or an excuse...but I couldn't be responsible to have insurance, wear a seatbelt, stay within the speed limits or NOT drive messed up!!!! But I haven't had one in many many years. Ok, so now how 'bout you...are you in recovery? (obviously from something, but did you drink and/or use and run around like a crazy person in your car?)

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 01:08 PM

I ran around a few times like a crazy person trying to find my AH - but I'm one of those weird people that have never been drunk, never smoked pot, never did any of that kind of stuff - never even really been loopy on alcohol - it just doesn't taste good to me - my AH laughs - says "What does taste have to do with it?"
My first vehicle was a Station Wagon, a 1974, I think - woodgrain side panels and all!!
What was your first vehicle?

cookconfay · 08-28-2007, 01:10 PM

68 Cutlass Wagon!

it used about a quart of oil a block!!!! All my friends wanted to "skip" with "me" cuz we could get 9 girls in that car!!!! Did you skip school?

Japic05 · 08-28-2007, 01:26 PM

No way - Not because of fear of the teachers - fear of the Momma!! I broke curfew 1 during my teenage yrs - prayed that I would die in a car wreck going home rather than face my Mom. I'm the middle child - I'm the peacemaker.
How do you line up with your siblings?

cookconfay · 08-28-2007, 01:29 PM

I'm the baby of 3 girls. I also moved here from California, was 2 yrs younger than everyone in my class, graduated when I was 16 so according to my sisters....I got to do everything waaaaaayyyy before they did. Add to that I was the last one left at home when mom was into her disease pretty good so, I did run around quite a bit! Just to get outta mom's way???? Did ya'll pick on the baby in your family?
