I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

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 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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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

I have just been enjoying the quiet and alone. I've met a couple of neighbors being out there. If I could weed all day I probably would right now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Guys, caffeinated drinks do not dehydrate you. The dehydration effects of caffeine are not enough to overcome the hydrating effect of the drink itself. So drink up! E.g.: [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ita, I am confused. Why doesn't the sleep specialist want you on Ambien if Ambien was working for you?

Oh and as to the rest of the conversation, I loves my coffee, I tell you what. Am going to go make another pot in a sec and do a bit of grading.

What? I only got one cup from the first pot. Stop looking at me that way.

Because books.

Looks like tea isn't bad, either. Whoot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Argh, I made it so long! But have now found out something that happens in Mad Men, which I hope to watch tonight. I will not say "spoiled" because I don't think it's the real point of the hour, but still. I tried.
