Actually, no. I went to the doc yesterday and he gave me a few prescriptions so hopefully within a few days I'll be feeling better.

I am glad we now have a specified medium on which to get to know each other and tear down the mis-perceptions we may harbor of each other....

[DJ B.K.]

Hi, former staff here. :D

[Chrysalis Kat]

Hi, former staff here. :D:wave: P.O.D.Cindy Warrior,
Tell us won't you, what is it about you that makes you a wacky independent thinker?

[KristianJ]

Hi, former staff here. :D

I know you! :D Is this gonna be a place where ex-staffers bravely say that they were once staff? ^_^

[Veiled Viper]

Hi!I was denied a staff position!:D
Woot!!

[A New Dawn]

[Veiled Viper]

Because my posts wern't on the substancially spiritual side.
;)

[KristianJ]

That would be Wonderful.

I know it would be...there are people that I remember seeing as forum mods when I first joined CF that are no longer on staff...I can't exactly remember usernames of most of them, but it would be fun to see who once was...:)

And just for that, I gave you the link in my thread :)

[DJ B.K.]

:wave: P.O.D.Cindy Warrior,

I have to say that Moe is my favorite,,

[fragmentsofdreams]

You tempted me to run to the garage and get one. And I gave into temptation. MD is good. :yum:

(I actually got to use that smiley!)

[fragmentsofdreams]

I'll take a code red

I'm glad someone likes it. I get frustrated with the MD machine when it gives me Code Red when the button says something else.

[allieisme]

:D I would be frustrated too. Especially if you wanted like a sprite and got a code red instead :D

:D I would be frustrated too. Especially if you wanted like a sprite and got a code red instead :D

One of my classmates enjoyed it. He benefited from my excess of unwanted Code Red.

[fragmentsofdreams]

Do we have normal sizes here, or only tall-minded ones?

[allieisme]

One of my classmates enjoyed it. He benefited from my excess of unwanted Code Red.
I'm sure he loved the free pop :thumbsup:

[LibertyChic]

Pop. Gosh, I haven't called it that in years.......

:sigh:

Funny thing too, cuz I was just thinking about pop vs. soda yesterday. :)

[fragmentsofdreams]

Pop. Gosh, I haven't called it that in years.......

:sigh:

Funny thing too, cuz I was just thinking about pop vs. soda yesterday. :)

Some of my friends from Florida called jokingly called Minnesota Minnepop, making fun of both our replacing the t with a d and for our name for carbonated beverages.

[allieisme]

Ok,
I admit, I call it soda now... but thats only because I was forced into it, because when we moved here and I'd ask for a pop people looked at me funny

[Snowy]

lol...so which does everyone prefer...Coke products or Pepsi products?

[allieisme]

EHH?! What's Pepsi :D :D

[fragmentsofdreams]

Pepsi products.

[Snowy]

Pepsi products for me too :)

[Tumbleweed64]

Coke :D altho I've cut way down :clap:

[Richard]

lol...so which does everyone prefer...Coke products or Pepsi products?

Neither, I am a tea and water drinker.

[Richard]

Did anyone know that you can change what it says when the mouse pointer is over the Cf Character? It's really cool !

[A New Dawn]

Coke for me!

[A New Dawn]

I saw Erwin peeking in a moment ago. I bet he was wondering where all his hired help was at all day! :D

[HeatherJay]

:sigh:

:D:D Round these parts we call ALL of it coke.

"What kind of coke do you want?"

"I'll take a Diet Pepsi, please."


My favorite kind of coke ( :D ) is Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi (though I'm drinking a Diet Coke with Splenda at the moment). I find Pepsi products to be more refreshing than Coke products, in general, but there are exceptions to the rule here and there.

[Veiled Viper]

You must be from Texas!:D
Caffiene Free Diet Dr.Pepper Rules!!!!:thumbsup: :clap: :P

[doaftheloaf]

I think ChrisBot needs a girlfriend. Have any of you staffers been by my poll yet? I also created a separate thread to name her.

At last check, 83.33% in favor.

[Veiled Viper]

Well,we say Coke instead of soda or pop,also.;)Tennessee, thank you. ;) I drove to Austin once, though, lol.

[Ceris]

Well out here in California we say Soooooooooodaaaaaaaaaa. So :P

oh yeah, and better "coke" than "pop", cause pop just sounds funny. :D

[LibertyChic]

When I do drink soda pop ( ;) ) I prefer pepsi stuff, but only of the diet nature. I can't stand swallowing all that syrup as a drink. :sick:

I don't like my tea sweetened either. Guess I'm not going to make a very good Southerner. :sigh:

I never drink any kind of coke but diet....BUT, I love me some sweet tea. :yum:

[Tawny]

I have to have my tea sweetened and with milk, but then I am English so its allowed ;)

I occaisionally drink diet coke but mostly tea.

I can't stand sweetened tea myself, and I don't like the word soda pop, it's to 50's for me. I'm only 18 so i'm living in the new era of pop products ;). Drinking it isn't fun.

Updated List of Drinks for me : Limondate ( Pink or reg ) / UNsweet Tea / Water

Water is very good ;) Especiallly here in oklahoma where ya don't know if it'll be hot or cold until you go about your day. Hot one momember, cold the other ;).

Personally, I live Vernor's. It's the bessssst!

I love CFDP as well - it's all that my mum will drink, so I've grown to appreciate it. I'm indifferent when it comes to the Coke v Pepsi debate - my fave soft drink is a traditional lemonade that is sold here in Australia which is smilar to a lemon squash but a bit more sour :)

[DJ B.K.]

[KristianJ]

Hehe...American football...I'll never get it ^_^ I'm downloading programs - my laptop crashed today and I'm in a state of rebuilding. It's nothing compared to what those affected by Hurricane Katrina are facing, but still a slight inconvenience...

[guitargalmeg]

Oil Prices - 2.99


EEEEKKK

Heh...I know it was more than that when I was finally able to buy gas yesterday. It's $3.19 in Biloxi, MS for the cheap stuff, and that's just for the people who can get it. Be happy about that $2.99. ;)

[Snowy]

be happy you don't live around where I do...My city almost is out of gas and they are already talking about raising it to about $4.00 a gallon..:eek:...and my grandparents live two hours from me and their city has no more gas :(

[guitargalmeg]

awwww...a fellow Tenneseer :)...I call all of it Coke too hahaha

I call everything coke except for things like Mountain Dew (not that I drink the nasty stuff :P). I don't drink much coke though. I'm more of a water and sweet tea kind of person. :)

[Snowy]

I call everything coke except for things like Mountain Dew (not that I drink the nasty stuff :P).


right...you expect me to believe you think Mountain Dew is nasty lol :D

Actually, lol. I'd prefer to live anywhere else right now. That's what I was talking about though. You can't find gas down here. That's mostly because we can't get it shipped in though - too many trees and powerlines down are making it dangerous.

[guitargalmeg]

right...you expect me to believe you think Mountain Dew is nasty lol :D

B..but...it IS!! :eek:

:D

You're the second Aussie who says that Gloria Jeans coffee is just as good as Starbucks. ;)

Ever have it in Seattle? Wowza! :thumbsup:

[The Julikenz]

I like a Double Espresso Mocha Late, with 3 sweeteners (no calories please :)) and skim milk.

I also like a Cappucino with a shot of vanilla, hold the Double till the second serve ;), full cream milk and 3 brown sugars.

I can also go for just about anything, rearranging it how i want it. :P

[The Julikenz]

You're the second Aussie who says that Gloria Jeans coffee is just as good as Starbucks. ;)

Hehe i think Gloria Jeans is better than Starbucks. :) No kidding, either.

Yep, exactly what the other Aussie said! Why is it better than Starbucks?

[The Julikenz]

Yep, exactly what the other Aussie said! Why is it better than Starbucks?

Weeeeell some GJs aren't as good as SBs. It varies with place to place eg:

Strathfield Mall's GJs are terrible.
Newtowns GJs are terrible.
Wynyards GJS are fantastic
Seven Hills GJs are amazing.
Centrals are pretty good, though lazy.
Penriths are um... i dunno, i don't live anywhere near Penrith lol. :P

(cities in Sydney btw ;))

Parramatta starbucks are ... [not great. very not great.]
Townhall's Stabucks are really really good though. ;)
Castle towers (just outside) are yummy. :D
Enmores are good, too.

[loribee59]

give or take that no two tastebuds are the same, some would say the opposite.. LOL

SB at Lancaster Mall is waaaay better than the ones at Liberty/Salem Centre Mall. meh.
SB at any Safeway stores are ok.

We DO have competition here, although I haven't tried them. Guess I'm a SB girl through and through. ;)

[allieisme]

Gloria Jeans is a coffe place?

I think only alpha staff members can do it...try pming one of them...but I may be wrong

[allieisme]

Just wondering....how long does it usually take to get your faith icon changed after you request it of a moderator?

Thanks :)

Good morrow all!
It depends on when you asked the moderator to tell the Alpha member :idea:
If that made any sense..I can check for you though to see if anyone has responded to the request yet. When did you ask the mod?

[WhatIsTruth]

I requested the change on August 27th through Henaynei.

I had to answer some questions so, according to my pm's she should have put in the request on August the 30th.

:)

Thanks

Peace

[allieisme]

I dont see a reason why it wouldnt get changed for you today. It pretty much depends on whether a Alpha team member is online and their availability.

[Snowy]

I just saw muzikdude in the cb :)

a reminder of why we have "chat with staff"...although it's a great idea...it's a little one sided for staff to be on the hot seat all the time. ;) I think it's fair turnabout that the staff would ask members questions, too. ;)

fair enough? anyone wanna take a whack at me..? :D

I was RLDS and for quite a while did not drink coffee (after drinking it for 20 years). Then, about 2 months ago, I became ex-RLDS and have started drinking coffee again. I have been going out to buy it (and spending loads of money doing so) so I dragged back out my coffee machine and make it myself. I am thinking of splurging on a Cappuccino machine. :D

(cities in Sydney btw ;))

Parramatta starbucks are ... [not great. very not great.]
Townhall's Stabucks are really really good though. ;)
Castle towers (just outside) are yummy. :D
Enmores are good, too.

I've never had a Penrith one - the only place I've had one is in Hurstville (another Sydney city) and it was pretty good :) I've had Starbucks with Droobie and Sharky before and enjoyed whatever I ended up having...:D Coffee is cool...:thumbsup:

[Blynn]

I've only been to Starbuck's once and felt like a complete idiot!

I didn't know that they don't have small, medium and large sizes. Duh. I also had no idea what to order. They had too many choices, and there was a line behind me so I ended up getting a tall plain coffee that wasn't very tall.:D

[Tenorvoice]

I have never steped foot in a starbucks and do not have plans to.

I love the smell of coffee but can not stand the taste of it.

And by the way Allieisme, only Yanks call it "pop"

Its all coke down here in the south. ;) hehe

We still love ya tho'

Starbucks....mmmmmmmm.......though the only thing I get there is a Mocha Frappuchino with whipped cream. :D That's pretty much my standard cold coffee drink.

It's good at Starbucks....but there's also a frozen mocha drink I get at this place called Kona Coffee which is also across the street from where I work that is good. Ooo....and Seattle's Best makes a really good Mocha cold drink too. It's not frozen...more liquid...but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy! :yum: Can't wait for my sister's Border's store to start selling that stuff so I don't have to drive 45 minutes to a mall for it. :D

Well, I'm pleased to see there are so many coffee lovers. I got into "real" coffee in college where I discovered espresso based drinks. Very yummy. I eventually bought a steam-based espresso machine and toyed with it. After reading the coffee geek websites, I found I was missing out and purchased a decent pump-driven espresso machine and bought a bur bean grinder. Later, I discovered the fantastic world of freshly roasted coffee online (they don't roast it until you order it). The flavor of 3 day "old" coffee is absolutely divine! :yum: :angel:

I thought ground coffee has to be fresh? I didn't know that aged coffee is better?! wowsers...I learn something new today LOL

I had a gift from my friend: an Italian espresso brewer that can brew your coffee within that very pot, and you can also brew your own tea.
Plus, I bought a small cappucino machine, because I love steamed milk in my coffee.

BTW, for daily coffee, I use Folger's French Roast.

My grandma used to make the best tea..Add a lil bit of milk and sugar.. Oh its the best~It must be a scottish thing

[Rae]

Allie:
Well if your bringin some.. Can you fill mine up?
--Only with what I have ... vanilla sweet coffee coming right up! Hope that mixes well with yours.
try Chantico at Starbucks.
--Ugh. I despise Starbucks because they don't sweeten their cold/iced coffees beforehand, and it's near-impossible to add sugar to cold coffee after they add the ice.

for daily coffee, I use Folger's French Roast.
--If I could afford it, I'd use the lightest roast possible. However, I have to go with what I can afford, thus I use Aldi brand coffee (medium to dark roast, IIRC).

Oh no! I put "old" in quotes because it's absolutely fresh (only 3 days old versus months old from a store). Actually, just roasted coffee needs to de-gas for a couple of days or so before it reaches peak flavor.

boy, you had me going there. LOL so in other words, it's FRESH...compared to the store brands that sits on the shelves. What about those self serving thingy where you grind your own coffee? I see rows and rows of beans and a grinder and I'm wondering if that's the same thing: getting it FRESH.

The "skinny blonde bimbo bombshell" look is overrated. HEALTHY is attractive, though. And I don't mean healthy as a euphamism for "larger." I mean it as eating right, exercising, etceteras.

They are, by all means...:) Just that I have a habit of having an iced coffee evey shift when it's long enough to have a lunch break :blush: And at about $3 Australian each, it's not an inexpensive alternative to water if I have 3 or 4 shifts a week. But about thin waistlines and wafer thin catwalk models...I don't think it's healthier than having a fuller figure.

For wintery coffee treats: I'd usually order pepperment mocha, or eggnog latte, or pumpkin pie latte, which Starbucks is serving right now. Eggnog and peppermint won't come around til November, I think.
