Morning! Coffee's on...

I sympathise, 5 hours in bed is around my limit too. Have you tried a biggish latex pillow under your back? They can be formed into shape to ease the pressure wherever necessary. I doubt I'd get any sleep without being able to make little dents in it to accommodate the 'protruding' vertebrae to take the pressure off them. It cost me $100 and is worth about a grand!

Don't think I've had 8 hours sleep in one night for 20 years. Beds like a torture chamber on my back!

Oh, Gdad, I'm right there with you honey! I don't know what it would be like to stay in bed for 8 hours. My back issues have tortured me for years too, and now that I'm also fighting sciatica everytime I move during the night, the pain wakes me up...It's got to the point where I dread going to bed, knowing what's in store for me. What's even worse is that I know I keep hubby awake, because he tells me I moan all night long...it's a beaotch!

Just so as not to hijack this thread...the coffee was especially good this morning. Had it with some toasted raisin bread..Yumm

After reading that, I can't complain about 2 or 3 nights of restless sleep, the rest of the week isn't too bad at all.
 
I drink, 2-3 cups of Turkish coffe (not that I am a Turk) first thing in the morning, on the front porch, weather permiting!
 
Our 12 cup coffee maker which only makes 7 1/2 cups is usually emptied every day by the two of us.

BTW how do coffee makers get by with calling 5 ounces. Our old coffee maker was almost as bad. They said a cup was 6 ounces.

Instead of worrying about obamacare, government spying, corrupt politicians, and other minor things we should be up in arms about real problems that affect us all.

A cup is 8 ounces Everyone call your representative now.

RK, you don't understand....the rule is YOU HAVE TO BUY 6 OZ CUPS. Toss those that hold 8 oz away, or you'll never get as much as promised. You're welcome! :)

One cup, from the Keurig, early in am and one in afternoon. Usually a Dunkin Donuts blend. Anymore gets my gurd going and it's not worth suffering all day with that.

I do personal shopping for others and everyone has switched over to Dunkin Donuts brand for their Keurig. They think it's the best on the market. It really is excellent coffee, but I don't buy it for myself, only what's on sale.
 
Dunkin is wonderful. While shopping for my Dunkin Donuts coffee at the store one day, a woman came up beside me looking for the same. She couldn't decide which to buy ... I suggested my favorite, which is French Vanilla. She said, "Oh, no, I can't ..I love it, but my husband thinks that is only for women". .. I thought to myself .. so sorry, as I picked up my bag and left...

My late husband never drank coffee, so I have always bought my own choice when it came to coffee. .. and I love that French Vanilla.
 
I like French Vanilla too, Boo's Mom, one day when I was still working, I took French Vanilla to work, thinking I'd give everyone a real treat....the men turned up their nose and wanted to know what happened to the coffee..lol
 
Never cared for favored coffee of any kind. Regular coffee with a little sugar and a touch of half and half.
I met my wife in the Oxford diner back in 55, over a cup of coffee. We both enjoy our "cup of joe", and still drink it the same way with cream and sugar.

We have had our Keurig quite some time now and really like the blend that we buy. I buy 160 cups at one time and this greatly reduces the price per cup. Approx 38 cents each. I buy the San Francisco Breakfast Blend and has a good coffee flavor. Down here, 2 medium Dunkins cost just under $4.00. I guess by today's standards this is a fair price but I'm from the ancient times when you drink all you wanted for 10 cents a cup.;)

Guess you didn't know drinking French Vanilla would have made the husband behave more feminine, huh? LOL, so silly!
 
Nocturnal by nature, seems I was born in the wrong time zone. I'm told I rattled the cot at 2am but slept most of the day, guess that's why 26 years on afternoon and night shifts didn't kill me.
 
Pappy..
I'm on my way.. Coffee black, black please.....

I have a Tassimo machine and simply love it.. Great coffee !!

Question ??? Pappy.... Do I have to stand on my head (upside down) to drink your coffee ?????
Your picture seems to indicate that .................. LOL
