OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

Alyson

Have to confess I haven't had espresso from Starbucks as there are just so many good places to get coffee. I only drink espresso, usually a double and yes I am very fussy about my coffee. We can get passable espresso from McDonalds - they have had to because of the competition

Now my tea is totally different as I have it really really weak so normally don't drinl coffee when I am out.

Alydon I bet the coffee there is better as it is in certain places in Europe. Well I don't know, but my dad would tell me coffe here is not the best in the world. But I do like Starbuck's it's pretty good. better than mine and I'm fussy bout my coffee. And the hospitals around where I live in IL the food is fantastic, u call anytime order what u want and it's ver good. Made when u order it, and it's open til 10PM and I like the idea that u;r not on their schedule so I had no compaints about food.

I'm a Starbucks girl at home and out. I can't stand the canned crap, McDs or anything else. It all smells and tastes like the chemicals they use to process it. Starbucks uses a water process

Ducky - Starbucks makes a bunch of different coffee "strengths".  I like the really strong/bold coffees like Sumatra or Komodo Dragon.  They used to serve those all day long.  Unfortunately (for me) most people apparently like a more mild coffee, so they now have the Pike Street Blend - which I dislike, and they've come out lately with an even lighter coffee - but the name escapes me at the moment.  To me the light ones taste like coffee you'd get at McDonalds.  As a result, I never buy their drip coffee anymore.  When I have coffee there I get a triple tall breve latte, and then I'm a happy camper.    Though sometimes I just get a double espresso.

Garden I hink it's called Blonde or something like that very light---Not for me either. No one likes me to make coffe I try to not make it to strong, but everyone is like how can u drink this and I think if I'm going to drink it I want to taste it. My dad and I always shared coffee in the morning and he's make it so strong, my mom would out hot water in it. my mom was wimpy that way, but I got used to my dads I stopped there everymorning before work for like 1/2 hr and had 2 cups of xoffee just with him, my mom would still be in bed. So tjat's where i got it from.

Ducky u'rback--u've been missed--were sll talking about u getting home. Did u have a good time? I hope so. We're all rainy here this week so water is around us here too. Glad u'r home safe and sound.

my nephew  worked for starbucks for a time, he was in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and his girl friend was prego.....interesting time for him!  But Starbucks aside from giving employees a bag of coffee each week, I still have a couple of bags!  they were a good employer duing that really wacky time.  After it was all over and cleaned up, they offered him a job anywhere in the country as bonus for having worked in the Katrina clean up

He picked North Carolina for his new home!

Well, heres a little story that happened yesterday while gs and I were at Wal-mart. He has just recently been very obsessed with me only having 1 boob. He just cant figure it out. I dont were a prosthetic boob, so Im flat on that side. So we were in the check-out line and he announces in a really loud voice, My Grammy only has one boob. and looks around to see if he drew anybodies attention, of course he did, and then says, It got sick and fell off.

duckyb1

Like I said .....threw out a whole bag of Starbuck's after 1 brew.......like jet fuel.....last thing my stomach needed...lol



Weather was great...came home on Saturday night to avoid the Sunday rush back......I hate traffic....



Made spaghetti and crabs for dinner (11 of us), which was my grandson's request, and left around 7:30pm......nice weekend cause I saw my newlywed grandson and his wife who flew in from Chicago on Wednesday night, and we drove down together.......not sure when I will be back down.......oh well.

Mary - Out of the mouths of babes!  So cute!  So funny!  I love it.  Hope you have some place you can write that down and give it to him when he's old enough to be embarressed.

Mary- I loved your GD saying it got sick and fell off. Can I use that explanation? Too cute.

Mary, Definitely my big laugh of the day! I've thought of explaining it to GS by saying it's like an apple with a bad spot. When you see that you cut it out. But if you discover there's a lot of bad spots, you throw the apple away. I do wear my foob around them, so it doesn't usually come up.

Mary, that's hysterical!!!!!...as Jan said....out of the mouth of babes......lol...

camillegal

Mary that's hysterical----everyone had to be laughing.

marywh

I dont know I just kind of smiled, grabbed him and my stuff and was out the door before anybody could say anything, but as we were walking out, he was waving at everybody like he'd done something really special.

Alyson

Mary we had better not put him with my GD who, at two was sitting on my knee at a cafe when she looked down my blouse and annouced ' Granny that boob is not real your real one its broken cause they had to cut it off, that one is real!! Another day I was having my check up and DD and children had come with me. GS was a baby and DD sat feeding him. BS was talking to them and asked GD what GS was doing. She answered that he was having a drink and added, 'do you know that Granny has only one boob cause the other one had to be cut off, but that's alright isn't it? BS and another person in the waiting room were laughing so much. The woman waiting later said that it had given her something to smile about  on a difficult day.

Children are just so open about things. GS, now a toddler would pat me and comment that my prosthesis was my funny boob but as yet not loudly or publically.

They are so funny they know enoight to say something that ends up being hysterical--Those are smart kids.

When my husband died 21years ago my 4 year old grandson saw me sitting in deep thought about a week later.......he said to me "Nannie you really miss Poppie don't you"............I said, "yes Joey, I do"..........he said "I knowthat Is why every night when I say my prayers I pray for you to die so you can be with Poppie".........absolute true story.......today that boy is 25....,.,,,lol

Scottiee1
