( every Sunday morning I would wake up with a bad headache )

Gatorboy, I hate to be the one to tell you this but that Sunday morning headache isn't the coffee .... or lack of it. Just what ARE you drinking on Saturday night? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So true..to much of one thing for the body isn't good..ahhh except for lovin.

Speaking of water..bottle water seems to be booming..a 12oz bottle can cost as much $2.oo depending on the brand..yikes

( 8 cups a day, is that a little too much you think? )

Oh I agree..but not to make an excuse it became real easy to slip into this bad habit..mostly during winter,coffee drinking buddies etc..

( A travel cup of coffee goes in the car any time she gets in the car, and if she's going to be gone more than a couple of hours, a thermos bottle of coffee, too. )

That sounds too familiar for comfort, Bird. I used to drink/sip coffee from the time I got up until I went to bed. After almost 40 years of "hitting the java," I'm starting to be a little more cautious. I've never had a single side-effect that I could identify, but I do sleep a little better if I slack off coffee or sodas with caffeine by mid-afternoon.

I usually check TBN between 5:30 & 6:30 am and then again at random intervals during the day when I have 10 or 15 minutes to "kill."

On weekends, I may check two or three times during the day if I'm not too busy. During the winter when a large percentage of posts have snow removal/control as their primary topic, I just login a lot less because I have no way to identify with that chore or the equipment used. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif ...in this case, ignorance is truly blissful. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Some of you actually log out /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif? I use tbn to destress at work - usually while having my bagel in the AM, at lunch & if there is any downtime. Try to catch up at night before bed.

Jim - you are more than welcome to come try your hand at snowremoval this winter.

Because I work at a PC all day (6a-3p) which has a direct connection to the internet, I've got TBN up pretty much all day -- minimized when doing real work. While my development PC is compiling code, I check the lastest posts.

Because I've got cable at home, the 3 PC's around the house are always connected. I usually surf the web with 3 or 4 windows open at a time, so TBN is almost always up on one of them.

I am honored to have you draft me as a candidate for snow removal, Hazmat. I'm afraid I must "respectfully" decline. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have several hungry animals that insist SIX AM is breakfast time for them. They get fed, Make a pot of coffee and I go log on. Have three cups in the morning and thats it for the day. Only time out I have coffe is if it is of know quality or desperate to wake up. Rest of the time drink water 8/10 glasses a day. A barley malt glass or two may be added starting about midafternoon on a hot day.

Never can beat Thomas to the morning login.

I'm thinkin a morning wakeup signal should be in order from Thomas. We could all retire the alarm clock.
