Checked my pulse - all good - I don't have one either.

We have a winner!!!

Does anyone remember that revolting Camp Coffee? I think it had chicory in it and was sold in bottles as a concentrate.

Shouldn't that be on the Drag Queen thread. LOL

But I could not live without it.

 

 

 

 

I'm still playing with the settings of my Dual Boiler and the burr grinder, to get exactly and precisely the coffee of heaven.

 

 

 

 

By the day, davewil, I prefer unpooped coffee. I also like my coffee to have a rounded rich robust taste that balances bitter notes with sweet notes (by which I do not mean sugar!).

I could survive, as log as I'm not expected to actually function like a human with a working brain does. That won't happen.

"Could" is not the issue.

 

Would I be paid off with $10,000 to never drink coffee again?

 

No.

 

Double it, and I would still say no. Triple it, multiply it by any measure, and I would still ... say... no.

 

 

 

 

Money is a tool for buying the things one wants and needs.

 

If I can't use it to buy coffee, among other things, what value does it have?

For your parents to live 2 years longer if you gave up coffee for the rest of your life. Can you do it?

Irrelevant and silly question, you don't have that power.

If I gave you $10,000 for you not drinking coffee ever again, could you do it?

The countess may not be open to offers but I'm with joz, you can bribe me too. I am waiting for your cheque, direct deposit or I will take paypal.

bob is welcome to pay me never to drink defecated cherries of coffee. (It would be money ill-spent, because I don't drink that type of coffee anyway, primarily because it is - by all accounts - ill-tasting coffee... but I don't want to deprive bob of the satisfaction of a successful bribe. That would be cruel. bob, here I am! Let's get this bribery under way, and I will use the money well. There's a cutlery set just waiting for me...)

That will well & truly put him in the - RED. lol
