Bean waiting for you, thankfully


Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one specific thing per day that you are thankful f0r and post . That's the goal anyway.

Today I am thankful f0r:

Coffee

Dunkin Donuts in particular.

's been my favorite coffee f0r more than 2 decades, so when the company started selling it ground in the grocery store, I figured my coffee dreams had come true.

Alas, no. From the moment it the shelves, I was crushed by how much more expensive was than the everyday Folgers or Maxwell house drip coffees. I mean yes I liked a lot more but not at a cost of 3 times the . Yes, I could afford but that wasn't the point.

I like a coffee with my cream n , so all those exotic and specialty coffees never made sense for me t0 even at let alone want t0 . So having my beloved DD coffee as an extravagance at holidays was what was relegated .

Until about 8 months ago when all the standard coffees were missing from the shelves, DD was putting out bag after bag. Enough so that even dropped a few bucks a bag. Enough f0r me t0 try pretty much every flavor and version they make.

I'll be damned, like all else they do, even their decaf is good so I can now do a consistent mix of decaf and high test that I've tried but failed at f0r the past.....I dunno how many years. F0r the as the regular, which no other company does!!

The older I get, the more caffeine affects me, so other than my wake up cups that allows me be civilized, I'd ditched coffee any other time of day. Not needed anymore.

Leave it t0 my favorite coffee company t0 win me back by just doing what they do best.

Seriously amazingly delish coffee f0r which I am most grateful.

Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.
At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached.
May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black

I'm very thankful that I finally retired so Monday mornings aren't the doom and gloom anymore.

I don't drink coffee at all anymore. When I was drinking coffee I'd feel like a zombie until I was on my second cup. Now I wake up clear headed and the only caffeine I might have is a hot cup a tea. You only need coffee because your body is addicted to it, and you only think you need it. Sense I'm not drinking coffee I can think more clearly. My mind is as sharp or sharper than it ever was. That goes against everything I've been taught. I've always been taught that coffee was the rocket fuel of engineers. Drink plenty and drink often. now I settle for a cup of hot tea. I'm thankful of a sharp mind and the ability to create something from just an Idea. I hope you have a good day and always look for ways to improve yourself or an idea.

    Quoting  :

I love Elon. He makes us seem so normal.

Speaking of. We need a giraffe. No, I don't know why, we just do..

Yeah, like oatmeal, every so often I try black coffee just to see if I can tolerate a whole cup. The answer has been a consistent no.

NEW consent law? What planet were you on that night that it's new(not that I can even keep us states straight, other planets n galaxies are beyond me)? It's been a law on half of earth for a while now.

Stealing is stealing whether it's Enron, a Bic lighter from the shop n go or a piece of ass that has never expressed an interest in you before 5 beers.

So card? Don't those already exist in limited test quantity?
I don't want a car that drives itself, I want one that blows out overloud speakers, kills the gas flow on cars driving erratically or that get stolen(yay OnStar +) or one that swears at people who drive like dicks!

I'm not clear on your notes beats apparatus and honestly sweetie I'm so I exhausted Ill barely finish this posts comments let alone anything else but hopefully I can catch up soon xoxo

For me it's definitely more of a habit than a caffeine need, since it's usually half decaf anyway. If it were just the jolt o Joe, I wouldn't be so picky about having the right creams n sugar

If you had to kick the caff for whatever reason, I'm glad you were able to do so. The older I get, the less my heart n hands can handle the straight up stuff.
