Ya think?    *snicker*

You go right ahead.  *lol*   And if you want another to tack up by the coffee maker (for those who need the more direct approach pre-coffee), try this one:  http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/viewstory.php?sid=26

Bah!  Please tell me you at least like chocolate.  Anyway, if you don't drink coffee, there's only more for me!

Mmm. Chocolate!  That, you have to share!

Good girl.  Although, that I actually stopped eating ... for now.  I had this nasty habit of sitting with a box of See's (really, one of the best you can get in California) and eating 4 or 5 pieces before falling asleep.  I stopped that, and maybe one of my pills sorta helped too, and I finally dropped the extra 10 pounds I just couldn't get rid of after I had Jenna (almost 6 years ago).  So now, I know the trick, and actually, it's not "don't eat chocolate".  It's "Don't eat it before bedtime."  I relegate all the high fat content stuff to breakfast now.

More than okay.  If it can make someone smile, that's the greatest compliment.

The printout is currently residing between the picture of the pirate dog and the picture of a man dressed as a giant willy. I think it brings a touch of class to the crazy wall, and a few of my fellow inmates have mentioned their agreement with your sentiments. Many thanks for aiding us in the fight against boredom!

"Inmates" ... yup, I can relate.

And sadly ... my coffee maker is packed in a box ready to be moved, and I have (unwillingly) given up chocolate in favor of weight loss.  It works, but ... ouch.

i hope that box is clearly labeled for quick retrieval at the other end! me, i'm still waiting for the "eat chocolate and watch the pounds melt away" diet. ; )

wanted to let you know the bf loved your poem as i predicted, and i got to hear his interpretive reading of it, which was a treat. :D

That makes me smile.  A guy who likes to read/hear poetry and/or fiction is hard to come by (in my experience).  He sounds like quite a catch. :D

I am currently driinking fake coffee—Nescafe.  Oh, it has caffeine, but ... the torture!!!  (Cannot wait for moving day so my coffee machine can be unpacked.)

thank you!

Wonderful.  I'm glad it works.  I've changed the link to say Screenreader Users and Text-Based Browsers because there have been a few other readers whose browsers won't let them review as well.  Thank you for helping and encouraging me to figure this out.

I also wanted to let you know that I have added a link so that you can respond to me here as well.  When you follow the link to see my response here, there will be a link for screenreaders to respond.  ;)

Glad you liked it.  You must be a coffee lover...

The world revolves around that drink IMHO.  Can't live without it.
