Dolores likes the flavored stuff too. Nice thing at her work they often give out Dutch Brother's 'Coffee bucks' so we can get one out once in a while and it just costs us the tip.Originally posted by Tiamat
I have a bit of a sweet tooth and I found that having the falvored coffee seems to keep me from using so much sugar. Besides I'm cheep! I like to stretch George Washington till Martha screams

My pride and joy:
Start the day off with a strong espresso hot off the hob. Breakfast with a large mug of black Americano. After dinner lattés or mochas to impress guests.
Fill in gaps in the day with tea, filter coffee or ground up caffeine pills as required.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

this is ridiculous. lancer is talking about canned preground "coffee" as the basis for his coffee consumption.

My daughter was just in Costa Rica and brought home a couple pounds of fresh roasted local beans. A little lighter roast than our usual preference, but a great treat.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I think grinding your own beans really does make a better cup of coffee, but if you have to get stuck with the can coffee I prefer Folgers.Welcome to earth, my name is Tia and I'll be your tour guide for this trip.

Try the stuff I'm using,it's much better than Folgers.
MRT, to each their own. I know grinding is better, but the stuff I'm using tastes almost as good. Best stuff I've ever found in a canned coffee. I know it's a sin to purists,but eh.
Jrabbit, that does sound like a treat. They grow coffee in the Phils too...that reminds me I have to bring a grinder.Long time member @ Apolyton

New Orleans -- two years later
Some friends of mine just got back for a church-organized trip to help out the people of the 9th Ward in New Orleans. What they said was not encouraging.
No FEMA presence. No Haliburton presence.
The National Guard pulled out long ago.
The city is still a wreck. The people they saw did not have jobs or hope. They get one meal a day, handed out by charities.
One day my friends' group was bussed out the help restore a house. When they got there, no house was to be seen. "See that hill there? That's mud covering the house we're here to fix up." They dug the house out and followed a cement sidewalk to a large concrete patch. It took them awhile to figure out what the concrete patch was. It was the slab for the neighbor house that had been swept away in the flood.
Has anyone else been hearing stories like this?

We don't need that kind of stuff because it doesn't rain as much here in Oregon and here on the coast we're not in danger of volcanos. Besides, your housing market is going bust soon...and you're too close to Canada!Long time member @ Apolyton

We drink tea here (we never threw our tea stash overboard).
