I know if only I could drink coffee, I might consider myself an adult.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Dude, automated online billpay. I'm just saying.
Online billpay is awesome. About the first thing I did after taking over family finances was to set up bill paying online. At first I think it annoyed my wife that what was a major chore for her I now take care of in a few minutes.

Coffee is nasty.
Please note that you can send all Dana's coffee and tomatoes to me.
And you can send me all your unwanted gift cards, too.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
If coffee tasted like it smells, it would be wonderful, but it tastes bitter and I don't like it. I feel the same about beer, as it happens. I'm also not much of a hot drink person, though I'll make exceptions for hot chocolate, mulled cider, and the like if it's cold enough outside.
However, I have plenty of use for a Starbucks card, because my writers group meets there. I just get hot chocolate or steamed milk when it's cold and some of their fancy save-the-world, cruelty-free, leash-walked bottled water in the summer.

Compassionately intolerant
Slap my hand NOW!
But I'm a friend to the coffee drinker because, despite not being able to put it in my mouth, I do love the smell. A bf once sprinkled hazelnut roast in the floorboards of my car because the smell made me so orgasmic.
No logic. Just fact.

FanTAStic phrasing!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I know if only I could drink coffee, I might consider myself an adult.
I dunno -- I've been drinking the stuff for years, and the adulthood thing has yet to kick in.

- the sun streaming in and hitting my monitor

I just don't know how to frame the counter argument or what to even suggest.
You could try something like "I received your notice that you wish to raise the rent to $X, effective January 1. However, this amount is a huge increase, and more than I believe that market warrants. I would be amenable to a rent increase to $X. Please let me know if this is not acceptable.
