Just shamed into no more coffee

[jimnyc]

At least for today. I went to get my 6th cup (half/half) and the woman yelled at me, told me "that's enough, too damn much coffee, drink damn orange juice if you must". I told her I would have a cup anyway, but I didn't. I felt ashamed over a cup of coffee. Now my hands are empty. Gonna have to sneak out. I'll go get me a triple espresso, that'll teach her! :coffee:

Its not nice to fool Mother Nature or the wife! Usually each act comes back to bite ya!
Surely you know she was thinking of your health.
However I can not drink coffee myself, so if you must drink another one for me! ;)
And if caught blame it on me..... :laugh:--Tyr

I don't think it was my health, I think she wishes I would fall over and hit my head. She's more concerned about how much it costs to finance my coffee habit and receiving Green Mountain boxes in the mail. While it is something that's not cheap, it could be worse, what if I were a crackhead? Then drinking a lot of coffee doesn't look so bad! Now when she is at work tomorrow I will need to sneak the old coffee machine up here into my space. I already have a mini fridge, so milk is not an issue. A man has to have his fix!!

Lucky you, as your fix is coffee. My fix is sex and the wife has to be involved every time!
And if she isn't my ass would be in a sling.. I'll not ever travel down that damn road!
This old dog has no fleas and doesn't ever want to have any!

And remember this my friend, as my dear departed uncle use to say often about the women,

"Whatever the hell they don't know won't hurt 'em and more importantly won't hurt us"!! :laugh:-Tyr

Would she rather you drink vodka?

[jimnyc]

Oh man, busted! She just scolded me downstairs as she read this thread earlier. She yelled at me again, stating that it wasn't about the money. She pointed out that I complain about my health, and then overdo it with the coffee. What I do note was that she never corrected me on the wanting me to fall and hit my head part.

But now I know she's spying on me! Gonna have to get her IP address and have it redirect to gay porn sites when she visits next. :)

Tell her to go make you a sandwich.....

Let me know how that works out for you..... :slap::slap::slap:

Probably don't even need to ask now, probably gonna get I head smack just for you saying that!

[Voted4Reagan]

well.... you can always hide out here Jim... we have a Dog... Cats and a coffee pot that is always on.

[jimnyc]

I used my double mug this morning which obviously holds 2 cups. Also hid the empties so that she couldn't count them. This way if she is counting trips, I'm in the clear. :)

V4R has a mug I gave him. Basically an oversized soup mug. Think it holds about 2-1/2 regular cups. He goes through a standard twelve cup coffee pot in a few refills.

Jim, get one of the Xtreme Gulps for coffee from 7-11. More coffee on hand means fewer trips, so when she asks, you can honestly say, "I'm only on my second cup."

I previously used an Irish coffee mug for coffee. It was a tall, slim clear cup. I make a pot of coffee, and then, over the course of a day or so, used the microwave to reheat coffee in the mug. Sometimes it would gather heat under the surface and explode into the microwave. That would piss me off as I had to get a paper napkin and clean out the microwave. I would fill the cup about 3/4 full. One time I took the Irish coffee mug out of the microwave and tested the coffee for heat by taking a sip. It exploded into my face. My face was burned with the boiling hot coffee. I went into the bathroom and soaked the wash cloth with cold water and began applying it to my face to get the fire out. I did this a few times until the burning was gone. Now all I had to do was wait a few days for a new face to grow out. It was awful. But, eventually, my face did return to its usual self. I was unrecognizable for a few days.

Now, I don't use that Irish coffee mug anymore. I have a shallower, much wider cup. It doesn't act like a cannon, storing heat below the surface of the coffee and exploding. It's much safer to use in the microwave. I also take a thin piece of wire and dip it into the coffee before I take it out of the microwave to release the heat bubbles.

I think I stole that from the Simpsons, since Homer has always referred to Bart as "the boy". Kinda stuck and now I refer to her as such when she bugs me. But since I know she's reading this, I'll kindly point out the fact that she is wonderful and NEVER bugs me. :coffee:

That was God's way of punishing you for microwaving coffee!!! That's like my wife freezing bread. Yek! Microwaved coffee never tastes the same to me. It just "needs" that hot water to draw the flavor out.

I don't need anyone to remind me to take it easy on coffee. Too much turns me into "The Great Cornholio." I get incredibly jittery and begin physically shaking. I like this for an energy boost:

I bought that crap ONCE. The smaller container cost me like $4, and it tasted like absolute crap! For that money I can get almost 4 cups of coffee!!
