There is a specific thread where the last one wins!

JSFH, the ladies start in their bikinis but the tops soon disappear because they love to tease me. Not when I'm using the table saw for the same reason.

It doesn't matter who gets last here as after 5k posts Laurel closes the thread. There was a bar, Abbs Place that had over a million posts. Big threads like that slow the system down so 5k it is. I'll hose the place outy and open a new thread while waiting for her to close this one.

Rusty, I fixed your post.

Omg a million? I sometimes scroll back to see the beginnings of conversations. But if I did that on a thread that long I'd never get any writing done. Or eating. Or anything else.

Ta. Typing on a phone while waiting for coffee is a good way to make typos.

My laptop is as small as I want to go.

I have a landline and only a landline. If I'm home then I might answer, if not speak to the answer machine. I might check it.

Anyway, where I live, you either sit on the couch with the phone up next to the window or stand out in the middle of the driveway to get around two, maybe three bars if you're lucky. Too many pine trees and hills. The only tower is somewhere across the lake.

The answering phone is the best tool I have
('just a quick call to discuss your domestic appliances insurance. . .")
Yea, as if !

We got bright weather today (watch for the rain later, tho' . . .)

Any coffee left please ?

 

[TxRad]

I'll make a fresh pot before I go get a nap.

Happy days everyone.

To the probable shock of the patrons of this fine establishment, I'm drinking instant coffee.

I live on instant coffee, usually supermarket's gold.

It is pointless for me to have real coffee. At my age I can't distinguish the difference and at coffee outlets, I prefer Americano but object to the price. I just want something that is brown and tastes approximately like coffee. Several of our local greasy spoons offer such a beverage at less than £1.

All of my wives have been redheads

You need to submit that to Toby Keith, ASAP!
Be sure to ask for royalties.

Now that I think about it, I can same the same, although it was just temporary the change to their emotional make up was markedly profound until the next color came along.

Ok, morning coffee is on! I'll be tussling with a VA doctor again this morning, so I won't be around for the rollover, someone please leave me a note where you guys ended up. I will probably have to tell this VA Doc also "No matter how much you pump up the Sphygmomanometer you're not going to measure PULMONARY hypertension at the arm."

I've actually had to say that to a VA doctor and yes, Sphygmomanometer is the name of the cuff they put around your arm to measure your blood pressure. If you ask me how I pronounce Sphygmomanometer my answer is always, "Incorrectly."

It's so much fun to be me. They look at my weight, then they look at their Sphygmomanometer and I've had a technician try several Sphygmomanometers, but 95 over 60 is the same reading every time. I usually have to remind them, "I don't have high blood pressure, I'm a carrier, I give it to other people."

For me, it's more that I'm the only coffee drinker at home, and that sophisticated electronic equipment has a low life expectancy in view of the circumstances. A water boiler serves everyone (drinkers of tea, herbal tea/tisane and coffee).

You could try a French press. No sophisticated electronic equipment is required--just a kettle and the press.

To my taste, French press coffee is the best. And it can be used for cold brew, too.

Though I’ll admit that we use a K-cup machine most of the time - M’lady prefers it to the heavier body of press pot coffee, and it’s less bother when in a hurry. Still tastes good black, though. Instant’s more of a caffeine delivery vehicle, best disguised with lots of cream and sugar.

The convenience of K-cups can't be beaten, and there's no wash-up.

We're buying Lavazza online - probably the best K-cup coffee available.

Yes, it's expenive, but that convenience...

I detest K-cup coffee. Have yet to find one that doesn't offend my palate outright.

I am, however, considering a more open-minded approach. The coffee I drink every day is a popular higher-end consumer brand, a medium roast. It is available in K-cups. I have access to Keurig machines at the resort where we have our cabin, so with this in mind I'll buy a small box of the brand's K-cups and give the concept a chance to redeem itself with me.

 

[TxRad]

Since the discussion has went to instant flavored hot water, I'll make a fresh pot of real coffee.

18 to go.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Love my French press, but it's K-cups at work, alas. And I have one in front of me right now....

 

[Duleigh]

VA "inspection" is complete, now I'm waiting for the biannual letter that says:

"Sorry, but the injuries that you sustained in the service to your country were not listed in the FY 2023 table of allowable maladies, please feel free to try your luck again in 23.7 months, and thank you for your service."

Got anything to fortify the afternoon brew?

I have a K-cup liquefier machine made by Bunn, the K-cups still taste like weak attempts replicating coffee, but thanks to the bulletproof, iron-clad construction of the Bunn machine, the K-cups will taste that bad for decades to come!

 

[Bubo_bubo]

K-cup, that's like Senseo or Nespresso?

Similar idea, the coffee and filter comes in a sealed plastic cup about the size of a shot-glass. The machine pokes a hole in the top and pumps in hot(ish) water and pokes a hole in the bottom to let out the pseudocoffee. The water doesn't spend hardly any time in contact with the bean's remains and is notorious for lack of flavor.
