    have you tried instant coffee sandwiches? Great if you haven't got a kettle or off on a long journey.

    LOL! @ writerpen! I have several chores you can do if you want to F-L-Y on over! LOL!

    How fast is your typing speed while intoxicated on the black gold?

    I never heard of a coffee sandwich either. What is THAT???

    However, Coffee-Flavored YOGURT is YUMMMMMM.

    Just my two cents, but I would RESIST getting addicted to coffee if you can help it (yes, I am addicted, which is why I am giving forewarning). Remember with every sip and resultant bathroom urge, you are "peeing your bones away" (as described on Oprah by a doc on the show, coffee = calcium drain - osteoporosis); dehydrating yourself; causing staining of teeth; constricts all of your blood vessels; causes build up in the arteries... need I go on???

    When I first drank "drip" coffee over 20 years ago with my best JW-girlfriend (she was HOOKED bad), my hands and arms would tremble and shake. Even though I loved the "social atmosphere" of drinking coffee and laughing our heads off with this "former" JW friend, I finally had to put my foot down and made myself quit drinking it. I couldn't handle it physically. Of course, THAT was THEN, and NOW it's another story. Got hooked on it again in the early '90's when exhausted and desperate at work to keep up the pace, and have been hooked ever since, unfortunately. Now I use Maxwell House LITE (1/2 the Caf), and top it off with a flavored coffee, Vanilla Nut or something like that. Yummmm.

    I, too, hope your "crash down" is a peaceful one. Let us know how it turns out!

    It was hilarious reading this thread! Thanks for the laughs!

    SYN - Actually I'm still on a high. Just got back from meeting a friend for lunch and I had water with my sandwich, since I seemed to have had enough caffeine for the day. All those suggestions to get hooked - I don't intend to and this was just to get myself going today. But I must say, it worked mighty heavily of which I'm grateful. I do pride myself on not drinking caffeine (eat it in chocolate a little too much though). I even buy diet/caffeine free sodas. So my not being used to caffeine is probably a big reason that this one cup has affected me so.

    GRITS - wish I could come help you out

    FreeFallin - LOL

    Scooter - coffee sandwiches? mud sandwiches sound more appealing to me?

    By the way Scooter, there was an elder we all called "Scooter" in my hometown congregation. Just thought that bit of information would brighten your day.

    Why would that brighten my day???????

    Wouldn't the idea of having something in common with an elder just brighten your day? It would mine - NOT!

    I went back and read some of your previous posts and noticed that you may not understand the sarcasm in my comment since you seem to be fairly new around here.
