Morning cup emergency
« on: April 18, 2013, 01:04:41 AM »
Thank God for 24 hour grocery stores, you see I got lazy yesterday and didn't get to the store to buy the things on my list. Well after all those years in Alaska we keep a well stocked pantry. But I just drank the last cup of my favorite brew...... Guess I'm in big trouble now  ;D

Hope your days is just wonderfull!

  I keep one of those big 28oz pails of cheap grocery store coffee in the back of the freezer for such emergencies. Its not good enough to reach for in any circumstance other than "emergencies". It last long enough to be mixed into the compost pile eventually. Will save me if i run out of goodstuff. :-\

That's an emergency for sure!

We keep a small jar of instant (ugh!) coffee in the pantry for desperate times like that. 

No doubt you won't be putting off that trip to the store any longer!

I seldom drink coffee, and to me Nescafe is fine. 

A few weeks ago the wife ran out of coffee, now she is a true coffee drinker.  She keeps a coffee maker in her office, and has coffee in it at all times during the day.  She was desperate for a cup that morning.  She was screaming for me to go to the grocery and get her some real coffee.  She refused to drink my instant.  Sometimes I am in a mood to be onery, I made a big cup of coffee and slowly drank it with breakfast.  Since I had coffee I could not see any reason to go to the store just to get coffee.  She threatened me with removal of body parts, all kinds of slow death methods, and other types of torture.  Later that morning when we finally got to the store, she stopped at Starbucks and got some Cappachino before shopping.  She bought two cans of coffee, now she keeps the extra can on a shelf in the garage.  that way she is aware of using the last can, and can replace it before she runs out.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
