Alyson, so true. I end up in the hospitl more often that I like, but they have a Starbucks--so everyone thinks I'm crazy cuz I wait for my Starbucks--I get so excited--with all these tubes and things inside and I'm happy about Starbucks.

OK this is probably what my GS relly thinks of me--I just found this note that he wrote----How to turn on the A/C----turn switch to cool.Obviously there is no cure for Stupid--I'm proof.

Alyson and ChrissyB, I've called you all southlanders forever. When I asked you or Chrissy. if(you) had you ever heard that term, whomever stated no. Well, I signed off STFU by saying I was going to find the southlanders. So then googled it. It exists. I must have seen it as a young one in a book. To you, we then could be oppositely termed the northlanders if you care.

dictionary.reference.com/brows...

Sounds a strange thing to think about, but I never understood on either sides of the ponds why no one new the term....it was so clear to me the usage, ergo, something wasn't right. I guess it's a very fallen away term.  But I like it b/c it's ecompassing. When I say southlanders, I'm thinking Austarlia, Auckland , New Zealand(sic?)

Alyson

Sas I know the term southlanders and here there is further meaning as I am certainly one as I come from the South Island and my family are real Southlanders because that's where they come from and where thr next stop south is the Antartic. The term used to be used in seashanties amd folk songs as well. And yes you are definitely Northlanders though I think the term really refers to Canadians and Scots.

Cami, I know what you mean about the starbucks. I sent DH and DD home after my mx because they both looked like they were about to fall asleep and fall out of their chairs. The next morning DD showed up before breakfast with my latte. It tasted wonderful! I don't know what they do to hospital coffee, but it isn't pretty.

camillegal

Wren to me that's so silly, we're in a hospital and think of starbucks hahaha

Spookiesmom

It's not just the coffee that's not nice. How can they call that "stuff" food is beyond belief. I wouldn't let Spookie have it!

Alyson

Your hospital coffee must be really bad if you think Starbucks is great!!!! HAHA. I hate Starbucks, sorry girls. We had been led to believe that you lot had great coffee but it is generally terrrible and this is not only my opinion. New Zealanders and Australians have taken to coffee and really have perfected the technique of making it. A girl that we know from the US lamented was having to live without Starbucks when she came here for a year. On leaving she lamented ever getting a good cup of coffee again as she had been so spoilt here. (We do have Strbuck in the big cities and its fine for your fancy drinks but not for COFFEE.)

Food sounds very similar to our hospital, that is unless you are in a private hospital and then its really good.

Alyson, I totally agree about Starbucks and American coffee in general.  I love coffee but rerely drink it anywhere but at home.  We do have one coffee stand here in town thatt makes a passable cup but I wouldn't call it good.

In 2008 or 2009, it was August anyway, I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns from a defective, exploding tiki torch. I was in the Burn ICU for a while. Can you believe they served SMOKED SAUSAGE to a burn unit??? The smell was sickening!!!!!!!! I mean really. I had to laugh. Of course, they did have me on a LOT of pain meds.

Sorry, Alyson and Chabba, but I like Starbucks.  I won't drink their drip coffee.  (It used to be good, but in order to please most Americans they ruined it (IMO) and made it too much like something you'd get at McDonalds).  But I do like their espresso.  Not saying that there isn't better espresso around, as there certainly is, but not from a chain (IMO). Theirs is consistent, and (again IMO) well done - not great, but good.  I've had so much really crappy coffee, that I appreciate their consistency. 

I drink their tea as well, but prefer Barnes and Watson tea, personally.
