Death by Coffee

[Lancaster]

Six months ago the wife banned me from drinking coffee because "it will shorten your life by at least five years".
This weekend, she bought me a huge bag of chocolate coated coffee beans to chew on whilst I watch the football.
Inconstant nature of women or prolonged assasination attempt?

Another option? She loves you and realises that your coffee is important to you. IMHO this is a big compliment to you, she loves you enough that she wants to see you enjoy your coffee and be happy even if the theory behind coffee is right and that she might lose an extra five years with you. Or maybe without coffee you are going through withdrawal symptoms and are a little teensy weensy bitty tiny bit irritable? LMAO

If you suspect a murder attempt, by all means, go with your gut instinct and run (of course, if that were the case, you also wouldn't be asking us).

I'd say there's a difference between drinking coffee every single day (and how much were you drinking?) and eating those chocolate covered espresso beans as a treat. Maybe that's what she's thinking.

All this talk of coffee is reminding me I haven't had mine yet. Excuse me ...

Dear man, you say these things as though they were mutually exclusive.

Ouch!

Just don't eat the whole bag at once. Talk about heart palpitations!

You are welcome to share them with me though.

I'm afraid I eat them in handfuls. Watching football on televsion induces automatic motor responses between hand and mouth. Not a pretty sight when I'm on the phone at the same time.

Backing away and keeping hands and any loose parts away from you then. I shall watch from over here then.

coffee beans plain=bad
coffe beans in chocolate=good

The good in the chocolate cancels out the bad in the beans.

From now on, just put some cocoa in your cup o'death each morning.

I think you're gonna die.

Still hiding in the corner munching some stale cheetos and sipping warm wine. Blech. But I am not going to try to get between a man and his coffee beans coated with chocolate.

 

[Ice Princess]

Hey, as vices go, coffee is not so bad, surely.

Lancaster and the rest of the over-caffeinated could do much, much worse.

This thread has to die soon. I want more coffee every time I see it.

No real proof -

that coffee is bad for us, except in its effect on anxiety and digestion. Even with osteoporosis, the truth is that no study has established that coffee affects calcium levels. In some respects, it has been proven to be good for people. But we can assume that too much of it is bad, as with everything. Since I've started doing an aerobic workoug of at least 20 minutes, every day, and lots more with weights several times a week, I've needed far less coffee to get over in life. Enjoy.

Ah, very good news about coffee. I'm a coffee-aholic and no amount of exercise or weight lifting could eliminate my need for a large steaming cup of black coffee in the a.m.

hehe, TN... I'm a javaphile.
