Re: Pet Peeves?

If you have to add flavours and extras to your coffee then you are not a real coffee drinker.

Two rules for life:

1. Never put steak sauce on a good steak. You can put anything you want on a bad steak because I ain't going to eat it anyway.

2. Always drink your coffee strong and black.

There's never quite enough cream cheese in a tub for that last bagel in the packet...

When I think of a stereotypical American Starbucks experience it is someone ordering a double latte skinny upside down backwards to front extra pazazz on the top coffee with a sugar cube side.

Stuff like this is all so subjective anyway. As an outsider though I would think the more 'extras' available for you the better. I'll just sit here with my water and wonder how many minutes I can manage before I have to run to the bog again ...

I hate that they shut the schools because there may be a flake of snow sometime today. Such a cop out.

Don't you think it had more to do with the freezing rain forecast for this afternoon, and the fact that the roads could be sheet ice by the time the school buses were taking the kids home?

It's a shame there isn't something they can put down on the roads to help melt ice, isn't it?
