Random story that I think about a lot: I was once in a coffee shop when a guy ordered 20 shots of espresso. Like in a single cup, not lots of small cups for a group of friends. Barista looked alarmed and asked the manager whether that was allowed. The manager came over, studied the man briefly, and said, "Sure." #coffee #caffeine #alkaloids #espresso

Sadiq Khan is celebrating #Eid al-#Fitr with a coffee (I didn't even know #Muslims had to also abstain from #caffeine during #Ramadan !) - but he looks more like he is going to join #Madness on tour #London

4 performances down, just 2 to go. The aftershow party was at #Blends good food and $5 margarita daiquiris! And now I've got my coffee, watching some TV, and snuggling with Hawkeye.

Accidentally bought a zero sugar drink with caffeine in, thought I’d try anyway. Yep, still sensitive to caffeine and/or sweeteners.

I’ve not actually missed fizzy drinks as much as I thought I would. I think it’s better to just steer clear, I’m used to no caffeine, sweeteners, gluten now.

Excited to pick green tea leaves here soon. They can grow quite well in mild locations in western Washington.

I planted this green tea plant 15 years ago and it has survived some very hard frosts (down to -12°C/10°F) in the Chehalis Valley where it's planted.

We tried fermenting the leaves to make black tea a few years back, but didn't leave it long enough. Ended up with something amber-colored, but it was quite good!

Here's a very special post for #birdlovers #owllovers and #coffeelovers #tealovers combined ... What caffeine level are YOU at this morning?

#HappySaturday #HappyWeekend

I would describe my level of Diet Coke consumption as "clinically significant."


#caffeine

These early espresso machines were dang complicated.

Vader likes his coffee and little on #TheDarkSide. I guess that's one thing we have in common!!

A cup of dark coffee and a bowl of #CountChocula is the start of a beautiful day.

I read somewhere once that caffeine doesn’t create energy. Rather it time shifts or steals it from your future. I never bothered to validate the claim, but on four espresso shot days I can confirm I’m dead tired in the early evening. I was ready for bed at 6. #espresso #coffee #caffeine

PSA: don't be an idiot like myself and overdose on caffeine.

Yep, that happened yesterday, and it *almost* happened today. I just felt shitty.

I do think that I'm regressing autistically speaking. I did not use to overdose on caffeine, but now I do.

Too many espressos. Don't worry. I'm cutting back.

I fell asleep this morning at 0300 and woke up at 0630. I made #coffee around 10-1100 yesterday. As an avid #tea drinker, I have two pints a day. A pint of #Assam with breakfast and another pint of something else later in the day. I am not really a coffee drinker and have no idea. So I made the same amount. That was the only #caffeine I had all day. It was roughly 6 cups. I had to dilute it because it was stronger than
#turpentine.

I definitely won't be doing that again.

Here it is. My officially official #introductions #NewHere #introduction post.

...prepare to be disappointed.

Some, but not all, of my interests include:

Above all else, the color #BLUE defines me and I define it.

#sarcasm You are a carbon-based lifeform. I am sarcasm-based.

#doctorwho Been a Whovian for a long time. I like both OldWho and NuWho.

#startrek Same story, long-time Trekker. Keep your "X isn't REAL Trek" opinions to yourself.

#scifi #fantasy And again, same story. Love both genres.

#books especially #wildcards Yes, I said Wild Cards. George's series BEFORE the one people keep whining about.

And a bunch of others. Not everything in my life can be reduced to a hashtag. I'm so old that symbol is an octothorpe to me.
