LEAST regrettable purchase you have ever made.

I recently bought a french press and it's upped my coffee game exponentially.

waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much.

My truck is my office, and there is no room for the coffee maker.
2-3 times a day I would get a large coffee with a couple shots.... so 15 a day give or take.

Now It is a bag or 2 of coffee a week, so 15-20 per week.

On the plus side, I dont drink alcohol or soda, so I spend way less on drinks than most of the world

Coffee is a crutch. Be a man with no vices

Coffee is a delicious treat that I allow myself.
I thoroughly enjoy the smell and the taste and the break it allows me.

It is a pleasure of sense on par with a good steak or a great dessert. A nice strong cup of sumatra, light on caffeine, heavy on taste, all about the flavor.

In reference to the use of the word crutch... I imagine you are referring to the stimulation of the caffeine being the deciding factor.
Not even close. I will grab a bag of decaf sumatra long before a caffeinated bag of any other.

I will pray for you and hope you get better

I spent 24 bucks on a starbucks coffee mug... I thought the price was insane, but I was working in an area that did not have quick access to good coffee.

Turns out, it was worth every penny. takes a beating, I can drop it while full and not spill a drop, and if I run hot water in to it before filling it, it keeps the coffee warm from 7 till around 130.

My story is almost the same. My Stanley Thermos will be 30 years old this winter. Cost me twelve dollars in 1989 and I still use it almost every morning.

It is the only practical possession I have owned that long...so it wins by a mile.

Jesus, 12 dollars in 89 is like 50 bucks now! Do you hold your pinky up while you sip? you should!

Nah.

This thing is too blue collar looking for that jazz. Peep this:

The Stanley logo fell off about seven years ago...otherwise works like new!

Ok nitwits, thought I would pass this along as a public service to the fine members of the CSS

I have been researching soundbars and finally settled on the $1300 Sony STHT5000 which is fabuolus and befitting the spacious OmeletDen. In the course of this purchase I looked at all kinds of soundbars from $200 up. One that did a nice job clarifying voice and adding some bass and depth to the TV was this bose for $200. For the price it did a nice job.

Now it's selling for $100 which is a steal and will add to your listening enjoyment. Uses an optical cable not HDMI which only really changes how the soundbar is controlled and does nothing to affect the sound

Getting a projector for the 2006 SB... Have used one ever since. On my 2nd one now. Will never go without. It's pretty nice to have a 120in HD tv. :)
