Raq, I was glad to see that you'd checked in safe. Thanks for remembering to post to us.

Cindy, may you soon reach coffeelibrium.

Vortex, that sucks. I hate it when I watch the slo-mo disaster happen and can do nothing to prevent it.

{{{Cindy}}} I drink tea when I get anxious, and if I have too much, I can definitely feel it make my anxiety worse.

Cindy, I've pretty much given up full-caffinated coffee for the reasons you've been mentioning. It just wasn't worth the shakiness and anxiety. I drink half-caf at most and anything after noontime is decaf. Even then I limit my intake because some of the other things found in coffee just make my stomach yucky. I've started substituting various teas for coffee as a lot of the time all I want is something warm to drink. I've got a chai made with rooibos that is very nummy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I want the Hello Kitty popcorn maker.

I'm going to take some benadryl and go back to bed. Hopefully, I can get up before 3, because TCG is getting out early today and I'll feel so guilty if I am still in bed when he gets home.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I drink half-caf
TJ's half caf is good. If you are looking for sources. Of course this is not surprising as their decaf is also good but their half caf is all premixed... I have both in my freezer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay! for J&E!

Yay! and congratulations to Brenda!

Thank goodness, and thank you for checking in, Raq. I never had a problem distinguishing which RPG, which I'm not really happy about. I'd be glad if war was role-play rather than rockets and grenades.

Coffee-ma, Cindy. I've found a chai latte that I lovelovelove, and they'll make it up for me with erzatz tea. I could probably steep straight cardamom and cinnamon with skim milk or vanilla silk and get the same result. But then cardamom probably makes your frammis gland turn inside out--you can't win.

Vortex, which perfume had an untimely demise?

Jo Malone's Lime, Basil and Mandarin I wouldn't normally spend this kind of money on a fragrance, but I fell in love with it, and stayed in love with it. Usually, I get tired of a scent after half a bottle or so. This one, I still love.
