Ah, no wonder my coffee didn't just materialize! I'll start a pot, who wants some?
Fill me a cup please. Thanks littlek.
me too.
But i have to to go to sleep.
Mmmmm very good coffee littlek, what kind is it?
Coffee, now there's an idea.
I just had a visit by a young man who first told me he was conducting a poll on matters of drug abuse, then tried to sell me some magazines to aid the cause... He was a bit stunned, though, when I told him he's actually committing crimes by doing that, because (translated quote) "I was told they can't prove anything because they could never prove I actually said thew whole drugs thing".
Colorbook - it's actually an esspresso roast called bella canta (or something) from Whole Foods Market. Glad you like it.
hihp - good vigilance.
Well, I actually believed his story till he got to starting to tell me about how he "got a grip on his life after comign out of rehab" and how he found this organization where he "has to earn 500 points" so he gets an education for two years... and then I saw how he gets those points for sellign magazines - then it was clear.
I mean, after all I DO have a law degree, and that IS fraud and it actually IS a standard example of fraud (because it involves certain legal problems) when people try to sell magazines by claiming you aid a special cause when in fact it you wouldn't...
(Also I was sort of doubtful when he claimed there's no help for former drug addicts whatsoever when they come out of rehab... after thinking a bit about it, I shouldn't have believed that in the first place.)
Once, someone told me similar, but only that he had to do such for his probation.
I gave him my (then) office telephone number ... of the probation service, where I worked at that time.
Since those days, I'm obviously on a 'black list'. :wink:
Now that would be nice :-)
Somehow, I can't get the swelling organ out of my mind; you know, when cav's virtual pub closed last night. Which organ was swelling? ? ? Musical or physical.
What ever, it was probably Gautam, offereing to comfort Manuel. Why do the guys have all the fun?
How is everybody today? This hurricane seems to have a mind all its own.
Littlek, are you still serving coffee? A mug with some cream would be perfect. Yummm.
I'll have a nice cup of tea please (no leaving the tea bag in the cup, if you please).
Manuel! (...) MANUEL! The lady wants a tea! (...) Where IS he?
Manuel is 'occupied'. fortune, teabags are strictly forbidden in the virtual pub, it's loose-leaf only. Let me see...in green we have sencha, dragon well, and gunpowder. There is some quality oolong, semi-fermented, and in black there is pu erh, standard orange pekoe, some darjeeling, and a nice jasmine.
Oh. He's occupied.
Do you have some salted peanuts over here cav?
Darjeeling will do nicely, thanks Cav.
One darjeeling for the dahrleeng fortune coming up. Rick, salted peanuts? Of course, dig in. Do you like sweets? We also have chocolate salty balls. They are delicious! <with apologies to South Park>
Well, Belgian is my favourite, but if you want hot chocolate, we use Dutch process cocao.
You can use Belgian. No problems. I live just a couple of miles (actually some 20 miles I guess) from the Belgian border, no hard feelings.
