Petticoat Junction?

Also: because my outrage at the idea of no coffee made me miss the important bit: hope you’re healthy and well.

I live pretty far out in the sticks but have good luck with amazon. The UPS dude just drives up and tosses shit out but I get it.

I know several people that have been exposed but did not catch the virus so I hope you will make it out unscathed.

Wish I could help get you some supplies. If I were close I would.

Thanks! I’m sure it’ll be fine. We’re all trying to decide whether hanging out with also-exposed family is okay. Which of course we know it’s not, but now that we’re told to stay home for 14 days, we’re all jumping up and down with crazed loneliness and need to see each other. DYYYYING OF 10 MINUTS OF ENFORCED ISOLATION!!!

To go with my earlier post about coffee, it’s extra good when it comes from a small volcano. Yes, I’m currently drinking the cup you see being made in the video.

Uhhmmm grocery boy ain’t helping you??? Time to cut him off lol

I listened to the guys while training today. Perhaps the most provocative, insightful and thoughtful lyrics in the past 5 decades, modern day poets.

Kind of looks like a percolator pot.

You know that if that happened someone would do something inappropriate and that would be the end of it. I’m not naming names

Similar to a percolator, but instead of boiling water and having it drip through grounds it forces steam up through grounds at 1-2 bar pressure. That’s how it makes a hybrid of coffee and espresso.

They’re like lyrics that sound like they may mean something deep since they’re so weird but really don’t. Something like what Kurt Cobain and some the silly ā€œalternative bandsā€ (does anyone still remember the band Live? Hint: Lightning Crashes, I Alone. The latter was pure gibberish.) of that era would write lol.

I confess I’ve developed such a high tolerance to coffee I drink a hot cup with extra creamer right before bed to help me fall asleep. Not joking.

Sorry to hear that, hope that it turns out ok. (and that you get your coffee, obviously)

The wife was reading some article about what people fear most. You know the kind that lists ā€œfailureā€ followed by ā€œrejectionā€ and ā€œlosing controlā€ and ā€œgetting hurtā€ or whatever. She was asking me what order my list would be.

The first thing that came into my head:

ā€œGiving a cat a pill.ā€

I think that covers everything.

Have had similar experiences. Sleep was going poor, so I started slashing caffeine. It got worse and worse until I started re-introducing caffeine later in the day, and then I slept better.

My resting heart rate is in the mid 40s, so I’m going to claim the caffeine is medicinal to get me to normal.

I had a giant piece of red velvet cake from a place called Gideon’s Bakehouse yesterday.
It was the best piece of cake I have ever had (and red velvet is my favorite).

Paid for it in the blood sugar spike for a couple hours, but worth it.

Red Velvet is such a cruel mistress, because when it’s good, it’s like, LIFE CHANGING good, but when it’s bad, it’s so SO bad. It’s the Russian Roulette of desserts.

I am glad to hear you got the former.

Definitely. I have had terrible red velvet too.
This placed used a ā€œtraditionalā€ recipe and nailed it beyond belief.
