In an attempt to calm her down, officers then began singing the hymn “Our God Is an Awesome God” with Jones.

I wish I could tell a good story. There is one coming in Feb: Gimme Shelter: Stories about finding, creating and losing a home....uh, yeah, speaks to me.

You should do it! They totally coach you on how to present. I haven't been to the Stoop in years. I need to go back sometime.

I am increasing skeptical of this doctor, for the record.

I don't understand why she didn't offer an alternative when you said you don't drink coffee. That's nuts!

I can only drink one big cup in the morning, usually. After that I'm risking my ability to sleep that night. I used to drink tea every afternoon after work but I cut that out too. And I don't drink soda.

This is usually what I drink, but I probably have 10 or 12 cups a day when at the theatre, because I have to stay awake for so long. This seems to lead to problems.

Um, yeah! Of course it would!

For whatever reason tea's diuretic properties hit me a lot harder than coffee, or the water that I drink through the day. I made the mistake of drinking one of those 26 oz. razzleberry teas on the road to Pickwick this summer and less than two hours later I was running for the first convenience store restroom I could find and peeing like a racehorse.

I have a cold - therefore I did not sleep well - therefore - 10 to 12 cups of coffee might be a necessity . . . although would then prevent me from sleeping well tonight. This is a spiral of badness.

I try to avoid coffee when I have a cold or flu, under the theory that the diuretic properties of coffee would be bad when you really want to keep hydrated.

I have 1-2 large glasses of iced coffee in the morning and then often drink decaf iced tea all afternoon. I am not a good model for hydration.

mac slept in my bed last night which means I slept horribly.

I weeded for a little over an hour this morning. One tiny area of the yard. Never-ending work.

tommyrot - that makes sense but. . . I am not sick enough to not be at work which means that I must be awake and therefore -coffee.

msbelle, I generally listen to podcasts while I weed, et cetera -- any yard work that doesn't involve loud powertools, anyway.
