Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[Alaskan]

Actually, I buy my coffee as roasted beans, from a local coffee roaster. They come in squishy bags, so I haven't been paying attention to the amount. The price is higher.

That article about the "stuff " in ground coffee had me all

Yep, buy yourself a grinder, and start buying coffee in bean form....soooooooo much safer.

If you take a look at the package they will have the content by weight. and A one pound coffee container these days does not contain a pound of coffee any more... Just like Yogurt cups. The big name brands like Yoplait.... for instance used to be eight ounces. They changed the amount to six and put a dimple in the bottom.... Urrg.

They have pulled the same trick with the coffee "cans". Changing to plastic then making the dimple by the added handle larger and larger making the can appear to still be the same size but actually getting smaller in volume. They get away with it because how many people actually read the weight?

Yeah, I know about that government list but try to avoid it. Discovered it years ago and my stomach was queasy for a month after.

I buy can coffee because of my hubby. If he had his way, we would be drinking decaf water! So, most of the time I brew can lite coffees, making sure I am the first one to the pot so that I can be sure there are at least enough grounds in there to taste the coffee. I also buy bag beans and grind me some of the good stuff in the evening and fire up my espresso machine when I have the house to myself.

Thank you.  Hes definately changing Majors.  But hes taking a partial semester off.  instead of 12 units hes taking 9.   Which at this point keeps him still withing the original Major.  Tomorrow is the deadline for the Ad Drop period.  The Grant money only requred him to be full time and a minimum of a C.  They allow for students to need a break so all is good hes not jeopardizing that.

For a kid who was math phobic when he started College he has come a very long way.  I never pressured him over math.  I just kept telling him he has the genes to do it...  and that one day he would have an Aha moment and it would click into place.

People have criticized me for "Allowing" him to be an Astronomy major.  The only thing I have to say to them is its his life and his choices.  You spend a third of your life working.  Why not work at something you can enjoy.

Perchie girl, you're so right! Sometimes you just have to take a step back and breathe. We weren't all meant to be doctors and lawyers even if we do have the brains for it, and if we were, the world would be a boring place. It's your son's life and he's the one that has to live it and be happy. Let him do something he loves! The people that are criticizing you need to worry about their own life and their own children.

Here's two of my three babes and the third should be out by morning. The little yellow one has a naked neck like her daddy.

And hopefully my chicken palace/greenhouse will be done before the first snow... If not, they're moving into the garage :/
