Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

I need a shot of morphine

Sorry your in pain.

No, we have ”electric blankets” for going on the bed, and heating pads that are smaller and you can use for back pain and stuff while sitting in a chair.

All this makes me miss my waterbed...like sleeping in a dry hot tub...

I bought my father-in-law a bottle of Old Grandad when my son was born, obviously for the name more than anything. But that stuff is pretty darn good in its own right, kinda wish I woulda bought one for myself too!

I bought a bottle of Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Scotch to celebrate my first born, and the Rabbit Hole was what I celebrated our second with.

Catching up. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask is one of my absolute favorite single malts. You have excellent taste.

Hehehe I fell into a rabbit hole of coffee and stud muffins this morning

Pō mārie e kare (good evening my darling).
I think you and I could run te reo Māori lessons at this point.
