I never really found any taste for coffee. Have some diet sodas instead. Had to switch to diet after I started to get dizzy often from too much sugar.

Bought some diet soda this morning and got checked out by a cute cashier named Emily. Too young for me but nice on the eyes.

I used to drink NOTHING but a six pack of Diet Coke a day until I read about the risks of aspartame. Now my afternoon cocktail of choice is Ginger Ale mixed with orange juice. There's a restaurant/brewery we go to on occasion that brews their own rootbeer that is spectaculary good. That's more of a treat than a habit though.

I'm not even going to try to argue that point. The minute I got out of work one day this last rather stressful week, my first inclination was to hit the ice cream shop on the way home. The idea of eating some good ice cream seemed like NOTHING but the best stress buster. Then I realized it would cause other things to bust too, one being my healthy eating regimen, and I decided to find a deer to hit on the way home instead.........JUST KIDDING!!!!

I found that drinking diet soda gives me NOTHING but an instant headache. I'm not big on soda anyway unless it's a Coke, but that's a rare treat for me because of the sugar content.

Root beer is another soda that I do like. Birch beer too for that matter, which I like even more. The rest are NOTHING to me.

My grandmother used to make homemade root beer. I remember lining the bottles up in the bathtub for a period of time to be sure the bottles wouldn't explode before refrigerating them. NOTHING but delicious!

Enjoying the hell out of the Football Games so far today. I'll let you know if it was a full day of enjoyment later. It so much better when no betting is involved. :a040:

I do not drink soda of any kind and am a Starbucks fan.

We went to the Pencil Drawing Art fair today which is not anything I would normally do but one of the artists is the sister of one of our neighbors so we had to vote for her. Art is not of interest to me and when we went to see the Mona Lisa I thought it was NOTHING but an ugly little painting. I like more earthy things like glass and pottery.

Meathead and Gloria From All In The Family brought home a piece of Art on a Loaner basis. They were admiring it as a beautiful magnificent piece but yours truly sided with Archie, I didn't get the beauty of it at all. I understand. I do my office in movie and political poster that way I can change them as needed. Some of them have been with me a looonnngg time some just lately, love them all and they have a running theme sorta something like My Way! :boom:

I can't imagine driving 2 miles to get coffee ..... My idea of going to get coffee is NOTHING but what Abby described going into the kitchen and using a K-cup.

I’m NOTHING but in agreement with you on K-cups versus driving anywhere!

He NOTHING but jinxed himself earlier today. I'd give him a pass because his head is into football today, but I know K won't.

I'm with Nucky about Dunkin'. I like my coffee just like my alcohol - weak. I'm NOTHING but a sissy........

I went to a coffee seminar once and was very surprised to learn that the dark roast coffee has less caffeine than the light roast. Roasting actually decreases the caffeine. That means NOTHING to me though in my preference.

My K-Cup Keurig is on its last leg and wants to be put out of its misery. It's old, the Serial Number is #1. I've had it apart and cleaned and replaced parts several times but combined we make about 150 cups a month if not more. That may be a little but NOTHING but excessive. I almost just did it again. Damn, Damn, Damn. :ohdear:

Running Vinegar through it is very interesting. I only use Aquafina in the coffee maker and still a whole lot of yuck come out with the Vinegar. Pretty soon its NOVA for us. Can't wait. That's the day the new Keurig comes into action.

That's NOTHING but interesting, but for me it's more about the acid content. It bothers my stomach which doesn't tolerate Starbucks at all. However, just now seeing this article and according to it, maybe I have it all bass-ackwards..........

Myths About Dark Roast Coffee | HulaDaddy.com

Besides the very last part of the article really got me. I could use a lot of that........:)
