I have one or two cups of coffee in the morning then that's it. I rarely drink pop and like I stated earlier, I don't drink the energy stuff. I might have to try one some day but not sure which one?????????? Five Hour Energy might be the starting point.

I've never had the 5 hour energy, heard it tastes like crap, but that it works pretty well for most people, and not at all for others. There are tons of different flavors now. The Monster Iced Tea line or Java line might be a good place to start since they taste just like their non-energy drink counterparts.

I'll be like the heard and give my .02 on the caffeine subject.

I've grown to love coffee over the course of maybe the last 5-6 years. Before that I was soda only for my fix. But now I don't know if I could live without some form of coffee. It started with the fancy, sweetened versions of coffee (mocha, etc.), but now I can drink straight coffee as well and enjoy it.

Add to that i was given a Keurig single cup coffee machine for christmas this year. That gets used multiple times a day nearly every day.

mookie ain't gonna bother with the root canal. dentist says the tooth has a fracture in it and he's not even sure where it goes. so we are gonna have it extracted on monday. mookie was contemplating going completely under, but ins doesn't cover that (500 add on), so it'll be a shot of novocane and we'll see/feel the rocking. ugh

You'll be fine, mookie. I had two extractions and a root canal about a year ago just with novocaine- the extractions weren't that bad. (Root canal wasn't that bad either, apart from the novocaine wearing off). The worst of was really just the novocaine shots. Other than that, just lots of pressure from the dentist trying to get a hold of and pulling on the tooth. Shouldn't be much pain. And if your dentist prescribes vicodin for after, you'll be just fine :D

Evening, Lodge-O.



That's what I get too, though at the local place nearby they call it The Redeye. Always feel like you should order it in the Marlboro Man voice. "Morning', miss. Gimme . . . The Redeye." [Everyone in bar gasps and looks up.]


:D

Where I go, they call it a Shot in the Dark. One other local shop offers a small coffee with 4 shots of espresso, or as they call it, the Hackley Perk.

I might grab a coffee after class today not because I need it, but for the last couple of pages in the thread, all I can think of is the smell.

Afternoon, folks. My professor in my 9 am class is in Brazil this week, so I had some time to catch up on MUCH NEEDED sleep.

My friends in Madison, three of whom I'm very close with, want me to come and stay there this weekend. I won't be able to make a trip out there until possibly late April or May, and even then, it may not work out with finals here and there, etc. I also would just love a weekend to be home finally with hockey wrapping up Thursday.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

This is the time of year I'm extremely thankful I have an accountant in the family.

Though now that I'm into homeownership and filing long form, even he takes it to a guy now. There's just been too many changes for him to keep up with.

I believe the IRS was still recovering from the fiscal cliff dinner and tournament by that point.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

No caffeine since shortly after New Year's. If I eat right, I find I don't really need it. Just messes with my sleep anyway.

And as to the new subject of taxes... I'm hoping there's a guy that'll look over ours once we get them filled out if we buy him a beer or dinner or something. :)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #162: Love Is In the Air

OK, let's see...

COFFEE
I drink it every morning with breakfast. Barely a cup. Not for the caffeine, but I like how it tastes with breakfast. It is a rare occasion I drink it during the day. I prefer Dunkin' Donuts, but will go to Starbucks for a Cafe mocha. That's more like a snack than for the caffeine. When I do not drink coffee, I tend to get headaches, they don't cause them. When I feel a headache coming on, coffee usually helps me feel better.

TEETH
mookie - I have never had gas for any tooth things - fillings, oral surgery, extractions, root canals. I don't consider the jaw surgery I had to be a tooth thing. that was major surgerya nd I was in the hospital for five days.

TAXES
So, I had an appointment to meet with my accountant tonight. He's also my brother's accountant. He goes to my brother's house, my brother tells me when. Late last week I found out that my sister-in-law's aunt passed away. I called my mom to tell her. My mom calls up there Saturday to chat with my sister-in-law. Finds out the wake is tonight. I call my mother Sunday to chat, she tells me this. Have I received a call from my brother to tell me of this change? Of course not. I have already offered mookie my ticket to the BU game tonight and my Club Room pass for dinner. I call my brother, talk to my sister-in-law who was all "We had to change, this happened, etc" like I was calling to ***** about it. I was like "I get it, but it would have been nice if someone CALLED ME as I just gave away my game ticket." And I was supposed to hear when it was re-scheduled. Talk to my mother today, she tells me it's been re-scheduled for next week. Have I receivd a call? Nooooooo.

Oh and mookie, if I planned to go to the game I would have used my other ticket and got into the club room to meet you for dinner but I have to finish packing and I need to get to sleep early tonight. They'll jsut have to suffer without me. :)

Officially, the Federal government wasn't allowing processing of taxes until January 31, effectively delaying/shortening the tax period. Hammer must be pleased. Updates to the tax codes had yet to be finalized, thus the delay. Technically, if you were using a software or web provider, they should have warned/stopped you from trying to submit finalized documents to the Federales before that January 31 date. My software allowed me to fill out the forms, but would not submit them until month-end, after it had applied the updated laws.
