... and i don.t drink cheap coffee, and i drink it because i like it too much, i can stop drinking it, but ... er, i really love it ... also, i usually always put pure sugar and 2% milk in it ... Coffee in the morning gets me going too. Someone told me any hot liquid in the morning will trigger that reflex. I tried tea but it's not as satisfying as a good cup of coffee.


I like coffee too much to give it up. So I put up with these minor side effects.

That's the only part I remember from the movie "Steel Magnolias," where Tom Skerritt comes running in the house and asks his son for the sports page. A couple of minutes later Sally Field comes down to talk to the boys and she stops in mid-sentence and says "Where is your father?" One of her sons answers "His coffee kicked in." cheap coffee....
