So for a calming cup of coffee in the specific mug she requested last time, Dee Jay will be in here later.

I may not be as good looking as you Lizzy and Dee Jay may prefer your coffee and company, but she likes to pick on me, just to keep me on my toes. :lol:

Hey all, gotta make my rounds on hugs for everyone

*****HUGS*****

Okay, just stopped by to see my favorite people and get some energy.

... How about ... A large Mocha with extra shots of espresso and something with a ridiculous amount of chocolate.

Amy,

Handing you your Mocha with extra shots of espresso and lots of chocolate. Topped with a Hershey kiss.

Hugs,

So this Memorial day we gave her a hot cup of 'straight black' Libya-brewed-with-a-fly coffee, in an aluminum cup with a big dent on the side and a semi squashed handle - and so hot she burned off her eyebrows. We put her on an elevator which dropped 45 floors - so she could feel right while pouring it into the cup - then whisked her through town standing up in the convertible at 165 mph, shooting at her with blanks (hope they were blanks). She yelled out something but it was too noisy to hear, and she signaled we were number one with her!

Nothing too good for our Veterans!

Lizzy

*snif*....yeah, it was beautiful....

Coffee that could peel paint and a very special cup....just like 'ole times....

Thanks, Hon.

Just the usual, please!

I have my own 42 oz cup (trying to cut back).

Colombian or Dark French Roast - grind the beans iffin you would - like'er fresh and sassy!

About a half pint of half & half, iffa ya would please my dear... none a that watery whole milk stuff or that powdered - whatever it is - coconut dust? malt-o-meal?

And a few packets of natural sweetener, not that pink, or yellow, or blue chemical concoction. And don't stir it - I like that 'sudden sweetness' at the bottom of the cup.

Serve it hot, serve it lukewarm - don't care that much. Just serve it! Will be my breakfast usually - nothin' else needed.

[Dee Jay does the coffee most days, and I hav'ta confess, I love her for that! Sally does not partake, but she is strange in other ways too.]

Lizzy

Oh oh oh - Coffee with 'chicory' is for the tourists... but cafe au lait is the real deal, especially with beignets! Oh ma cherie! BON BON BON

Lizzy's usual coming up. And no one touch it because if you do, I will cut you off coffee and pastries! Took my time getting it just right.

Lizzy, I am joining you for a cup.

Colombian and French Roast are both good choices and half and half is a must. Natural sweetener is good, but I like Splenda too. And I like flavored creamer, depending on the mood.

Flavored coffee, no way.

Since you prefer cafe au lait with beignets, and are just having a regular cup of coffee right now, how about some fresh cannoli?

Is that those little Italian things with tomato sauce and cheese on them?

The picture would be mouth-watering and Dee Jay, I have a feeling you are kidding about not knowing what a cannoli is...but since you asked...

Cannoli are Sicilian pastry desserts. Cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing mascarpone.

Wow John, I've been spending too much time in the real world and missed the re-opening of the coffee shop ....

I've been getting ready for winter, getting the last few miles out of the bikes and putting them in storage. :(

I sure could use a nice big hot spiced Chai Latte, and if you don't mind put a little cinnamon on top please. :)

Big Hugs

Shelley

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
