I did a half hour of work today... I'm done.

Mike,
Is that one of the people that is getting paid to post? (Lance Don't get any ideas )
While checking out members signing up here, I found some that would agree to anything someone else said on another forum, then put in an ad for a website.

Nope, it's on an Audi enthusiasts off-topic forum that gets VERY high traffic... you go away for lunch, and come back and find that there has been 3 pages of new topics. Most of the members are college age, and they post pretty much continuously.

The forum I visit most is centered around my LandCruiser addiction... I post around 50 times a day (posts counts don't apply in off topic there, so I really don't know the amount of posts I've actually made). Of course some days are busier than others. It also depends on if you get into a good discussion in a particular thread... for example I'm a very strict vegetarian, and there was a thread last week asking me about my diet. I bet I posted a couple hundred times that day (there are 80k+ members of the forum, so there were plenty of questions to answer).

I haven't posted here the last few days because I've been super busy at work preparing data for a big run. This morning I finally submitted all of my jobs to run on our clusters, so today (and for the next week or so) I have nothing to do but play on the internet for 10 hours a day, hence my multitude of posts. I'll try to keep my posting to a minimum, but sometimes boredom wins out.

I am slowly switching over from my 30 cups of coffee/day habit to 4 cups or so of tea. I'm also trying to kick my caffeine addiction, which is why I'm sticking to herbal teas.

Best of Luck to you on that!!!!! I am a BEAR without caffeine

I had an English friend send me Roibosh Tea once, it is supposed to be good for your skin. You're supposed to bath in it, according to my friend, a White Witch in Dartmouth. I did take bathe in Roibosh several times, for a skin problem I had. It was like Alice in Wonderland so to speak, or maybe more like Michael in Snohomish. I too, am into "useless dribble", which is only one of the reasons I enjoy this forum. Like whimsy, even more than dribble, as is obvious. [/quote]

Like Alice in Wonderland? You mean, you shrank to the size of a mouse or grew 7' tall?! That's amazing tea.

Alice in Wonderland- that would be Amanita Muscaria tea.

I did a little research. The antioxidant properties sound amazing.

I've had a total of 2 cups of coffee this week The headaches were the worst the first couple of days, but now I think the worst is over. I love coffee, so maybe I'll just switch to decaf so I can still drink the lovely elixir.

I remember going to school and would smell this nasty odor. And I would find out it was the teacher's coffee. How does a bitter substance become so popular? It drugs its victims.

It drugs its victims.

Almost as addicting as bamboo.

bamboo has the unfair advantage, that it is able to send out rhrizomes that can burrow into a person's foot as they stand in the grove. Once the rhizomes have hit the blood, they release chemicals. Scary? I know.

Like anything else, there is good coffee and bad coffee.

I did not willingly eat pizza until I was almost 21 because my only experience with it was the stuff served in school cafeterias, which was nasty! Fortunately I had a friend who had already figured out the difference between the two.

Then there was the place that served pizza like we had in school. We made the mistake of ordering from them once. A couple of bites quickly killed our appetites (we hadn't eaten all day) and we put the rest down for the cats, since they really liked pizza. They used it as a litter box.

The place went out of business shortly after that.
