I woke up? Although, these days I'd prefer not to ever...
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Not to me but for my sister.

She bought a house in a small Texas town with her share of our parent's estate.  It is an older house, built in the late 1920's.  Long story short, she has no money and her water pipe/line broke sometime before 2009.  She's been without running water since then - no bath, toilet, kitchen, etc.  She's tried to find someone or an agency to repair it. She tried to repair it herself, actually digging up the water line to the house.

She's had a problem with a neighbor that I think she resolved with a small amount of money coming to her.  Well, SHE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE TO FIX IT AT A PRICE SHE COULD AFFORD.

SO NOW, AFTER 8 YEARS SHE HAS WATER!

Hey, hang in there trig, we are all rooting for your health.

And damn QV...its near shocking isn't it to even think about having no running water in the first world, or even a second and a bit world country like the USA isn't it?

I can't imagine that...the only running water being recirculated water that would be flowing through a condenser, and either cooled with bought dry ice or liquid nitrogen, or preparing blocks of ice in advance to cool things down just to operate my condensers and using chemical freezing mixtures to cool my flasks.

Shit, that'd be such a nuisance. Although I'd still not let it get in the way of as Sg calls it..my witchcraft :D Because if there is one thing for sure, you can't keep an autie chemist down, and away from his lab :heisenberg:

Sounds good. I'd probably be scouting the area for anything either edible or psychedelic and mushroom shaped, poking up from the grass.

As for my something good...lets just say it was light tan, with a few larger more compact chunks in a fine, dusty powder, and placed in a little glass pipe with a needle-like taper to the tip, not lit, but gently heated from below, rolling and rotating the pipe, as a little dark 'beetle' scurries up and down, as if fleeing the flame, and producing roiling clouds of slightly bitter, aromatic vapour, filling my lungs and exiting out of my nose, or else a little dab placed on foil and again carefully heated with a small flame, to avoid burning it instead of vaporizing it.

A little gift from mother nature, or at least, a semisynthetic derivative of the Papaver somniferum, derived from its processed, cleaned and chemically modified latex. Quite nice stuff, too.  And from a source who could guarantee it free of fentanyl or its multitude of vastly overpotent, dangerous, cold, clinical, sterile feeling, euphoria-less analogs. Just good honest horse.

If you're referring to a conversation I had with my dad?  He would see an attractive mixed race woman and say, "That's how I like my coffee.  With a lot of cream in it."  Went on for YEARS.  Finally as a college student I saw a really, really good looking coal black man and blurted out, "That's how I like my coffee.  Strong and black."  Dad never used that line again.

If you mean coffee bean coffee: some cream, no sweetener unless it's flavoured creamer.

Yup thats the conversation, strong and black XD

My Lady, and Dear Queen. I started drinking coffee back in 2015, and then about 2 years later I had an extremely high fever and was able to quit and never touched it again. The caffeine dependence was bothering me...I would remain unable to wake myself up out of haziness without a cup. I drink tea now, but I limit the caffeinated black tea in mornings, and drink a lot of herbal teas, allowing my brain to do the job of waking up. Afternoons or late morning a cup of black tea suits very well. No cream for me, but a generous spoonful of honey.

@sg1008 - I've been drinking coffee since I was about 2 years old.  Milk coffee actually, full steam ahead by age 6.  Now my first cup usually has to be flavoured creamer, the rest regular creamer.  (The dry stuff, the liquid goes off before I can use it up.).  Coffee or tea (black, sweetened) with meals depending on how I feel.  I need to learn to make iced tea this summer.  Funny how you never learn to make some things. 

BTW - tea keeps me warmer longer than coffee in the winter.  Coffee and tea cool me off equally in the summer.

Interesting. I find I prefer (of warm tea), peppermint and black (sometimes combined) in winter. but in summer i prefer spiced and black, or jasmine tea. in summer, peppermint tastes better iced.

I have a buddy who makes moon tea- like sun tea, except you leave it overnight during full moon. another friend makes iced nettle tea. she seems to boil the dried nettles in a pot, let it cool, and then strains it into a large glass jar. then refrigerates it, or serves it with ice. its really refreshing.

Coffee. There's nothing quite like a cup of coffee in the morning.
