#2 Um, wouldn't this require the dreaded GM technology? Won't the Euroweenies object to Frankendrinks?

Now THERE would be a dilemma!

#3 AC - Lol! Reminds me of the saw: Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.

An article posted here on RB within the last few days pointed out that the EU won't be able to feed itself in a few years without GM crops. Coffee is one thing, and damned important to me, heh, but what will they do then?

#4 DEPRAVITY!!! How can anyone fool around with mother nature to make better Decaffinated coffee? How about some with triple the usual amount of caffeine, so I can get my morning fix without so many trips to the can? Where are these people's heads?

#5 Thanks .com. The funniest thing for me is that I can't stand the stuff. I've tried every kind of coffee in every kind of way (and when you're freezing your buns off banging nails in January in New England and the coffee truck comes around, you REALLY want to like the stuff). My wife loves it and has all sorts of different ways to make it, but me? I prefer tea.

#6 Awright, AlanC, you just described a carpenter hitting the Roach Coach, I do believe, heh. If so, I swung a hammer for 3 yrs - cornice work. I got skinned on rainy days playing poker and sweated salt rings on the scaffolding during the Texas summers. I decided to be a programmer precisely (this is true) because I knew 'puters had to be air-conditioned. Can you tell how hot Texas is from that? Lol!

#8 Oh my G**. .com is a kindred soul! I got run out of my own business by Jimmah Cahtah's recession and took up programming cause it looked a) creative and b) MADE MONEY!!!!!! Been banging bits for 26 years for $ and nails for fun from framing to furniture.

Nothing quite beats "re-modeling" a burnt out brownstone in summer on Beacon Hill. Don't get the heat like TX but 88 degrees with 98% humidity will still do you a number!! Estwing rules!!!!!
