Just finished my second cup of spiced chai for the first time in a week. 22oz water, 2xbag steeped for 1min, 1/2Tbsp sugar, 1/3c half-n-half. It tastes delicious. Just as delicious as the one before. Mmm...

I love the taste of coffee, so bitter and true. The problem is with me as PatrThom said in another topic is I have an extreme tolerance to cafeine. What sucks is well...I went a month without coffee in October and the lax effects of regular coffee still stayed. I had a few candy bars hear and there though, could that be a reason why?

A soldering iron to the the tongue would help reduce your sensitivity to bitterness. Just throwing that out there.
 
I had hot cocoa while I was waiting out my week (about 2-3c/day). Yes, cocoa mix does contain caffeine (about 8mg/8oz cup), though it is significantly lower than the content of coffee/tea/drinks. Chocolate bars look like they contain about 10mg/1.6oz bar, so while it's not cold turkey, it is definitely a big step down. Should help keep the withdrawal headaches in check, at least.

I met someone who used to have a habit of licking the end of their pencil occasionally, and sometime later in life started playing with electronics.

They no longer lick the end of their pencil.

I was thinking of suggesting something along those lines, but using pizza or a hot drink. Then it's unpleasant, but not so terrible.
 
Thank goodness they never went into phlebotomy!

Ah man, I love a good phlebotomist. The last two times I had to visit one it was quick and very nearly painless.

This last time she was cute and conversational too. Sometimes you get those that just want to shove it in and get out as fast as they can. They don't even look at you, nevermind talk to you.
