I try not to be judgmental about people who don't have emergency guest coffee.
I try, but I often fail.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
having to say Coke twice when you really want a Coke (as opposed to directly asking for a Dr. Pepper) seems rather ineffecient.
What Dana said. For most Southerners, the polite interaction is much more important than effeciency.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm from Northern Indiana and we used the generic "coke" for any cola product. Now when I ask for a drink, I just say, "Diet"--meaning any diet cola they serve.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I try not to be judgmental about people who don't have emergency guest coffee.
Oh, and I meant to say, it was less judgemental and more just shocked and confused. And sleepy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It would be an ugly thing if I had caffeine daily. TOO MUCH ENERGY!
ION, I think I am going to allow myslef to buy a fancy cat carrier with part of my tax refund. Maybe not the most exciting treat for one's self, but it should last a long time and will make taking them to the vet much much easier.

I rarely make or drink drip coffee. I've got a Braun cappucino maker and that's what we tend to drink in the morning.
Except JZ is off coffee right now and drinking tea instead.
In the mornings I go to Starbucks' for a latte. In the afternoon I get a tonier and smaller and tastier latte at Peet's.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Someone was asking the other day about NYC milk having two sell-by dates. (Kristen, I think?)
Anyway, here's a post explaining why, if the information's useful (or interesting).

I try not to be judgmental about people who don't have emergency guest coffee.
If I'm a guest in someone's house, I figure I drink what they have. And if I need caffeine that they don't have, I can go get some. No big. When I'm visiting my folks because they asked me to come by and help them set up the garden for spring/put pictures up/move furniture/etc. I'm usually feeling less guest-like and more give-your-cheap-labor-some-perks-already-like.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I carry emergency teabags for places that only have decaf coffee. because I will end up with a headache, about 50% of the time if there is no caffine. My folks drink decaf - but they have two coffee pots so they can make both.
