ya people tell me they get side effects when they boycott coffee. The only time i have had bad experience with coffee is when i have had it late at night and i felt weird and faint.

"Excessive intake of caffeine can lead to a fast heart rate, excessive urination, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, anxiety, depression, tremors, irregular heartbeat, flushed face, rambling talk and thinking, and difficulty sleeping."

Incidentally, have I told you I've been very depressed about my sudden diarrhea recently? It's making me very anxious, and then there is all this election stuff, I can barely keep my mind on it. My dog had diarrhea last night, too, that was awful, had to put the rug outside. I wonder if a rug will be ruined if it rains. That would be an easy way to wash though, don't you think? My sister had a dog that liked to sleep on a particular rug, it wsa similar to this rug that I'm talking about. What was that dog's name... the one that liked the rug... my sister would remember. Is he still alive? anyway gotta go.
That reminds me of that Dave Chapelle episode: "Diiiarrheaaa, diiiarrheaaa, diiiarrheaaa.."

god coffee, how do i love thee.
my relationship has changed with the bean, but I will never forsake it. i only have two a day now, and never after Noon, or i simply cant get to sleep at night.
I love crazy strong Turkish coffee that is so thick the spoon will stand up in it, and French style Vietnamese coffee (not Robusta if possible) with condensed milk. sweet and hot.
anyone else feel like a coffee now?

I'm going nowhere until I've got at least 4 scoops of this stuff inside me.
Unbeatable!

Yeah, I am in the EMS (emergency medical services) industry. There are a lot of medical problems from the "energy drink" craze. In particular is the mixing of red bull and vodka (alcohol poisoning and cardiac issues), and the mixing of prescription barbiturates and energy drinks.
While on the subject, a french press motherfucker here with a teaspoon of cardamon added for that Turkish coffee flavor. None of that watered down drip shit!

If i don't drink coffee as soon as I get out of the shower in the morning, I'm probably not safe to drive a car or ride a motorbike.
I once avoided having cups of coffee after breakfast. I got halfway through the day and was virtually asleep at my desk. I got home and slept all evening and all night. I consider it essential.
Plus coffee is lovely... Best cup of coffee I've had in ages was at the Watermill cafe and bookshop in Aberfeldy... absolutely perfect. None of this frothy milk shit or frilly bits, just a superb pot of sublime, strong coffee with nice fresh milk on the side. Nothing else needed, although the carrot cake was also awesome...

Caffeine can make you irritable. It does that to me after about my second cup of the morning, so I stopped drinking caffeinated tea and coffee.

I love coffee, but I can't handle caffeine anymore, even in tea, so I have to drink decaff. About a year ago I started getting mental panic attacks and paranoia doing normal everyday shit and it got out of hand. Went to the doctor and she said that I should try cutting down on caffeine, been absolutely fine ever since, no probs, nice.

look at what caffeine did to the poor spider building his web - it seriously f***ed him/her up.
I've seen an expanded study that had cocaine, heroin and acid on it and the caffeine spider did a worst job than the coke and skag spiders, although the one on the LSD was equally as bad !

poor spider. You have to wonder about how they figure out what the comparable dosage to "x" cups of coffee is for a spider.

That probably explains why all my web designs look such a mess.
