I love the smell of coffee. The taste I'm neutral on, but I really love to sit next to someone drinking a nice aromatic cup of joe.
 
My colleague just quit smoking a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday she also asked me if I'd want to try and cut down. I told her that yeah, basically, but then I'd need something else to do during the breaks.

So just now, she has brought a freshly-baked apple pie to work, and told me that I could take one piece for each cigarette I didn't smoke during the day.

She is an excellent baker. The apple pie is delicious.

I am torn.
 
Coffee does smell awesome![DOUBLEPOST=1384870055,1384869951][/DOUBLEPOST]My grandfather says something similar about American beer all the time! His line involves a canoe but same idea.

Used to work for a guy who would walk into our lab and say things, strange things, one of which was, "Light beer reminds me of sex on the beach. Fuckin' near water."

And then he would just... walk back out.
 
One of my favorite things in the world is opening a new container of coffee and putting my face right there when I break the seal so I can suck in every bit of it.

Dat smell.

Asked a lovely young lady out to dinner/movie today. She's got a busy schedule, but she said she'd get back to me if she could figure out a time to make it work. So, I'm waiting to see if I post in the Epic Win thread, or if she's just putting me off.

Good luck! And know that even having the guts to just straight-up ask someone out is an Epic Win in itself. :)

You asked her out. That's pretty much Epic Win by itself.

Non-coffee-drinkers, non-tv-watchers, and vegetarians: don't worry about identifying them. If those topics come up in conversation, they'll let you know.

Reminds me of a quip from a girl I knew, "How do you know if someone is a pilot? Don't worry, they'll tell you."[DOUBLEPOST=1384902332,1384902253][/DOUBLEPOST]
I don't drink coffee.
I don't watch TV.

I suck, don't I?
No.

But seriously, coffee is a joy of life.
 
My son has had a cough for almost a week now, with no other symptoms, and today got sent home from school because he now started getting a fever. Then I get an email from my daughter's school saying someone there was diagnosed with whooping cough, so of course now I'm freaking out about it. Ugh.

To be clear I don't care. But that's just it: I don't care. It just seems like people who don't do these things go out of their way to let you know.[DOUBLEPOST=1384923460][/DOUBLEPOST]Coffee and meat I understand. TV is a bit odd to me though. It's just a medium. It's like making a decision not to watch pencils to me. But odd or not I still don't care if one does or doesn't.

For every person who informs others they're a vegetarian, there's another who responds with "Well then, I'm gonna eat twice as much meat!" followed by

 
Mixing meat is the best. Think about it... pizza, bacon cheese burgers, chicken cordon bleu, all better because they have meat from different animals.
 
Coffee tastes like bitter, angry doomweasel bath water to me.
If you have a friend that likes coffee, buy them some Jamaican Blue Mountain or Pure Kona as a gift sometime and try that. No bitterness just pure heaven.[DOUBLEPOST=1384955939,1384955445][/DOUBLEPOST]

Tur-duck-en[DOUBLEPOST=1384956674,1384956530][/DOUBLEPOST]I always wanted to try they great Ancient Roman delicacy... A camel stuffed with a cow, which was stuffed with a pig, which was stuffed by a sheep, which was stuffed with a dog, which was stuffed with a cat, which was stuffed with a mouse... then baked right up...
 
There are some silly food ideas out there.

I like cream cheese stuffed in jalapeños wrapped in bacon. That's about as wild as I get when it comes to putting foods inside other foods.
 
So the doctor is pretty sure it isn't whooping cough, thank god, but she prescribed antibiotics to be on the safe side, and because he is sick with SOMETHING. So yay.
