I've just been watching a bit on the news about all the fires in oz, wino. Are you in a safe area? Having fire up the wazoo would be way worse than snow!

Tiny, can you drink any sort of caffeine? Tea? Soda? I made the switch from coffee to tea without any ill effect, and now I normally drink green tea.
The fires and the high temperatures are rather frightening. I hope the fires don't make it to wino's wazoo.

no, the evil is really the caffeine, not the coffee. it's okay. i've been essentially coffee-free for a while now; just cheating a little. i can stop cheating.

Because of some stomach issues I've had to go through long bouts of being caffeine-free. The first time I went off of it, I slept for 24 hours. The second time I had a raging headache for about 3 days. And I really only drink 2 - 3 cups of tea per day. Amazing how your body gets to depend on the stuff.
PS - congrats on the retirement Maple. Open a bottle of bubbly.

Evening. Congrats to those who warrant it. Other forms of acknowledgement to everyone else.

Why thank you, tlefty. Evening/moaning.
I do believe that I am able to work today, since the internet connection was restored round about dinner time. In the interest of playing catchup I won't be posting too much. But first I have to wake up.

I should think of something very profound for my 100th post. But I probably won't.

well, aren't you encouraging!

Post by Peromyscus on Jan 9, 2013 17:33:27 GMT 2
Dragon, it can be done. I did it about 20 years ago for many months. I tapered off my caffeine intake gradually over the course of several months, then stayed off of it altogether for at least sixth months. Except when I woke up extra early to go birdwatching.

i know, peromy; but thanks. i was drinking almost no caffeine, so it won't be hard to go to no caffeine.
i just didn't think bb was being very encouraging!

Dragon, it sounds like you are pretty much there. Methinks brodie might need to sleep a little more.

Mapes, I see your post made it through moderation after you changed the forbidden word to "unamed beverage".

Yes pero, the "Hub" mods are tough.
