It is all in your point of view. Since you are only slightly west of the International Date Line, you have already had your first cup of the day and you could post about it when the other side of the world is in lala land.I dunno 'bout all you lot on your 'first cup'?!? It's Wednesday evening here; it's after 8 pm; and cos the Child Bride can't handle full strength coffee after 6 pm-ish or she doesn't sleep (while it makes no difference to me at all if it's full strength or my tenth coffee for the afternoon) that means I'm now restricted to de-caff or stoppage!!
Mind you, it's really only a courtesy, cos she can't resist the smell of 'real coffee', so if I make myself a full strength coffee, she just hasta have one too, but then she can't sleep and I'll pay for that!So if it's after 6 pm, it's de-caff for all here in this household until the morrow, be it coffee or tea!
And to those who can't tell the difference between full strength or de-caff only by the aroma, just be aware that she's an award winning Chef, so she can (and does!) tell by smell what someone four houses down is cooking for tea, what herbs & spices they've used, and when they've over-cooked whatever by just a minute or two... so telling the difference between full strength & de-caff coffee is too easy for her - and after more than 45 years of married life, you'd better believe that I've tested this ability numerous times (just cos I can, sometimes) and she's invariably spot on, every time!!
It's a good thing she's such a wonderful Lady who looks after me sooo well. And I do get fed very well too!
So just quit yer bitc*** about those bloody 'first coffee's' can't y'all?! I've had my 'last' proper coffee for about the next 10 hours, and I'm already getting twitchy!![]()
Morning thread!
I do not find it depressing at all. Death was an everyday part of three years of my life during the Vietnam War.Morning thread!
HOW DEPRESSING,
Go BACK to BED!
"Am I on the right forum?"I do not find it depressing at all. Death was an everyday part of three years of my life during the Vietnam War.
The death hanging in the background, made the things of nature, like sun rise and sunsets, more perfect and
not to be over-looked. It made those still alive, even more alive than ever. It is the same now, over 50 years later.
If it depresses you, then you go back to bed. I will go back outside and work in my garden where the living things
are growing. I have no need to deal with thoughts of death. I dealt with all that long ago.
I guess you are, but you should be aware that this is an International Forum and when it is morning in Minnesota, it is other than morning in the 23 other time zones of the world. It is around midnight in western Pacific time zones and late afternoon in the European time zones."Am I on the right forum?"
Turn Around - if the bend in the road is very sharp and straight down!
I don't claim to be from this planet.A true story: A few years ago, a lady was bragging about her heritage, saying "I hark back to Charlemagne".
I replied: "I hark back to Adam".
