Yay for your team, itsa.
Australian footy has it's pre-season comp starting this week (I think), but I don't watch that one really. The real stuff starts in a little over a month.

Hmmmm. Since Feb. 2 I have had one 3/4 cup of coffee, and one 1/4 cup. I can hardly believe I'm still alive.
I really miss it. I think I'll hold off until I go back to work on Wednesday, and then try to stick to 1 or 2 cups/day.

There wasn't much need to keep my head warm in Mexico, dragonlady.

I had a cup of Starbucks instant coffee this morning, instead of green tea. I'm surprised I typing as slowly as I am. Tomorrow might be green tea again.
When I woke up this morning I was having dreams of crossbills (northern finches that have come south in substantial numbers this winter). Unfortunately I didn't see any today.

Impressive, scrubb....I'm pretty sure I'd be curled up in the fetal position ,whimpering in some dark corner without coffee.

coffee addiction for me proves I would be out of control on the other stuff

Nice, dragon! I have had some very nice decaf. If I have coffee after 3pm I always have decaf....preferably a decaf Americano. Still very nice with a bit of cake or whatever...without insomnia later.

Over the last 20 years, I've occasionally had a sort of mild throbbing pain in the general area of my kidney. It's always happened when I was drinking a lot of coffee. Each time it happened I cut back on coffee, and after a few days it's gone away.
And once on YC a poster said that he'd had throbbing pain in the kidney region, and lost a kidney because it couldn't process coffee properly.
So anyway, a couple weeks ago I had that low throbbing pain start again, and I ignored it and kept drinking as much as ever. But it got worse and worse, and then to the point where it woke me up at night. That kinda scared me so I cut coffee out completely.
It seems to have worked - the pain improved after a couple days, then kept getting better and is gone now. I'm just waiting to be really sure before I ease back onto the coffee.

That's good motivation to give up coffee, scrubb.
Age bring some modifictions, wino.

hi nerds... back on-line after a couple of days without... makes coffee withdrawal seem like nothing... though the speed here in mandalay is pretty slow, at least it eventually loads... and feeds the addiction had breakfast in a former british colonial hill station... they served the local 3-in-one: sugar, instant and coffee whitener as a powder... but they served it in a nice pitcher like it was real coffee... didn't taste like it, though...

Good morning modifying nerds. We are having another sunny day here. I am having a hot, dark, satisfying beverage, that may or may not be coffee.
wino, in hindsight some of my best decisions have been compromises, but you do what you can.

Hello all, Scrubb you have an impressive will power. I would go to doc's if I were inthat pain instead of or despite cutting coffee. Maybe that is not the reason? Does decaff havethe same effect on you?
I tried to cut coffee in the afternoons at least to cut insomnia.. but it didn't help much so I drink it all day long. Not too strong though, instant and cut with milk most of the times.
