It's nuts ... I have 91 Members here following me and I'm pretty sure that I will hit a 100 sometimes later this year! Really?! I've only got two! Well, to hell with the lot of you...I never liked you anyway!

My dream home is for sale, and at a price so low I could cry. But it is in the historic district of my city, and that means lots of rules. And it would mean moving into a community of people soooo not like us. But it is sooo beautiful. You guys could be the Klopeks of that neighborhood. I had to google. I've never seen that movie before. It's a gorgeous home, I just think we wouldn't fit in with the community. We're just not...that type of people. We drove by the home just to look at it, and we got dirty looks from people out on the street. Also, it has steam heat and built in window AC units, but if we were to buy it, I'd want that all changed, and I'm not sure they would allow us to change that.

Thank you!!! And you have had no problems with it? Because that costs about HALF what a new Bunn machine costs. So, I was expecting it to be way more expensive. Not yet. If I have to be nitpicky, it seems the heating plate is a little too hot, so if you take too long the coffee might be a liiiiiiiiiiittle overdone, but by and large it tastes good. In fact, it tastes better than and is easier to use than a Cuisinart model that was more than twice the price which I returned. My dad uses a different Cuisinart one, the 550 I think? He makes phenomenal coffee, too, so the issues I had may have been unique to that model.

I am so glad you are able to solve his first world problems for him. lol. Bad coffee is everybody's problem, dammit! My only coffee problem is that I like the smell but hate the taste.

I had coffee exactly twice in my life, and both times it was a strategic move. You've had 2 battles of wits with people who didn't know you'd spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder?

Not getting dream house *sniffle* because carrying two mortgages at once is a bit more than we'd like to deal with right now. We could rent out our current home, but...No. Neither one of us want that. Not even looking to buy since we already own our current home, and it's a nice home, but if the husband had only not told me about that house and then taken me by it, I wouldn't even be thinking about it right now. But now I am.

Hey hey, I had a pretty good day today. I went to the film festival in Rotterdam, and on the train on the way there I happened to run into a couple of movie enthusiasts I had met before. We had booked tickets for the same movies, so we ended up spending the day together. In the time between the movies we had some Chinese food, took a little stroll around city centre, then had some coffee.
It was really nice.
Also just got a mail saying that my Avengers: Serpent Crown HC has arrived at the delivery centre downtown. So that'll keep me occupied and entertained all afternoon tomorrow.

I have a couple of cups of coffee if I'm at home, otherwise my travel mug in the car.
When I eat I hardly drink, but the rest of the time there's always a bottle of water on my desk. I average 2-3 liters / day.
Lately I've been drinking decaf in the evening and love it.
Don't much care for Starbucks but I really like Seattle's Best, Dunkin Donuts, and Tully's for my Keurig.
The only brand I've hated has been 8 O'Clock.
Susan and I were in Dallas recently and the menu proudly displayed Chock Full O'Nuts, a very old brand. It was delicious.

AHHHHH! Some friends of mine had this made and sent to me today. Total surprise! It's based off of this picture: My Bowie dog. Luke. Mr. Jowls. My dumb@ss White Boy dog. <3 I loves him. It was printed on canvas. I thought it was a painting until they told me it wasn't (and until I took it out of the plastic and ran my fingers over it).

Because if you hadn't, lord knows how far my misery would have taken me.

I'm having a pretty good life all in all.
