My mom and dad didn't dislike AB. My mom just always thought I would marry another girl I dated. She would even say as much, even a couple of times after I married (not while AB was around mind you). My dad, on the other hand found her tolerable because... Well, she wasn't Jewish or Catholic. As a Jehovah's Witness, if he had only known her true inclinations, or mine in the realm of religion, It would have been much worse, I think. They came to accept her, but despite everyone's efforts, they never did really find common ground. All these years later, I'm convinced I made the right choice.

Do you know why people say "drink and swear like a sailor?" Because paratroopers hadn't been invented yet!

I think I'm more impressed by Lt. Bill Overstreet, who flew a P-51 Mustang, called "Berlin Express" under the tower in pursuit of a Bf-109. The 109 didn't escape. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of-bill-overstreets-p-51b-berlin-express-the-mustang-that-flew-under-the-eiffel-tower-in-hot-pursuit-of-a-luftwaffe-messerschmitt-bf-109/

Aand... I had to clean coffee off my computer screen.

Sweet! There ARE far bigger geeks than me in the world.

And shoot the target you see in the middle...

Running PT test hung over, or even still drunk.

"They say that in the Army, the coffee is mighty fine, Looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine..."

I went the single cup route. Good for a single cup, and less storage space taken You foam for the cappuccino. Good stuff, either way, but I won't judge. I would enjoy a larger espresso maker like the one you posted. Yes, you do. It really isn't that much more work, and worth the effort. Definitely go the burr route, though. Much more consistent grind. I stop short of being like a doctor I served with in the Guard who roasted his own beans. That's too much even for me.

Get another french press, a pour over maker, an electric espresso and cappuccino maker, a stove top espresso maker and a burr grinder, and you'll be set! Although you do have me on the speckleware coffee pot!

Aren’t you familiar with the phrase “two is one and one is none?” When it comes to coffee, redundancy is vital.

Reilly’s Luck. Sorry, it would bothered me

For some of us, any time is coffee time.

I couldn’t both laugh and give a Thanks for this. I’ve jokingly said that if the county’s HR department put spy cameras in our office (veteran services, staffed entirely by veterans), they would find the HR people dead of heart attacks.

I cannot post it here or I have a feeling the ban sledgehammer would come out, but if you are not easily offended, have a warped, even dark, sense of humor, and have been in the military (particularly the Army) google "213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the U.S. Army." If you are easily offended, do not have a warped, dark sense of humor, DON'T! But it does beg the question, why are you on this thread to begin with? You've been warned.
