gave up but 12 cups of coffee a day probably is too much. So, with
only 3 cups in the morning and it being too cold outside to do

Since I retired I do not drink anywhere's the amount of coffee I used
to. And still rarely drink alcohol. But one nice thing about losing
the Christmas weight gain. I am using Costco's brand SlimFast for
breakfast and lunch. Yesterday my buddy and I went up to New Melones
lake for some trout and bass fishing. We used the Hobie pedal
kayaks. Was easy to imbibe lunch while pedaling along and trolling
for trout. No fooling around with cutting bread or cheese. And only
caught one nice bass.
You know, you can make sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them so they
don't get soggy in the cooler. Really.
What would you suggest? PBJ?

I like PBJ's but I cut them out too.


I like wonder bread smeared with just mayo.
What? No fried foreskins?


My BFF John Herring has first dibs on those.

I'd have cut out the booze, and cut way back on the coffee. Maybe only
11 cups, but they'd have to be 8oz cups, not those chintzy 6oz jobs.
Alot of stuff you enjoy is had to give up, but for the better. for me,
no more 1/2 lb hershey bars (1 a night) No more big bag of chips, or
doritos, or corn curls ( from top to the last crumb), cutting out on
salt. less beef and pork, and more fish. Eat more breakfast and less
supper.
But I ain't giving up coffee!
Don't forget chicken! But the best part, the skin, has got to go.

Rotisserie chickens, with a lot of celery and onions, make some great
soup, into which you can throw some brown rice.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I usually go for skinless chicken breasts in the oven, but I
never knew why otherwise you needed to toss the skin?

Fatty...cholesterol.

Harry, since you eat so healthy, why are you one of the fattest puckers
i have ever seen? If you were a girl, i would have to roll you in
flour to find out where i should stick my ding dong. Since you aren't
a girl, i just let me nose point the way.

Just look for the spot he smeared himself with KY Jelly and point your
ding dong in that direction. That's what all the boys down at the union
hall do.

Damn. Now you've got me wondering.

Eight cups in my Starbucks pot is 48oz. So, Starbucks considers 6oz of
coffee to be a 'cup'. The coffeemaker we have holds 12 6oz cups, and
is called a 12 cup coffeemaker. I guess if it had a Black and Decker
label it would be an 18 cup coffeemaker.

Huh. Never knew that.

The Mr Coffee is the same size as the B&D (4 oz "cups")
I guess Starbucks just wants to be different. That is why a small
coffee there is a "grande" ... and $4
They never grabbed me.

Sounds like something for Consumer Reports to jump on. I just did some
comparisons of different brands, and they range from 4-6 oz per cup.
Weird.

I'm a coffee hound.

about 80 oz. a day. When I cut down on the sugar, I cut down on the
coffee. about 44 oz. now

It's all irrelevant if you just look at how much the pot will hold in
oz. instead of cups.

Yeah, I used to drink about that much coffee but had to go cold turkey
about a year ago due to health concerns. The first few weeks were full
of headaches and other nasties...
