From which mishap? Still a slight black eye, looks kind of gray, really, but can't see it with my glasses on.

The back, I'm upright, just can't stand or walk for any length of time. Sitting for 30 seconds works okay.

I like DD coffee, but I generally buy 7-11 java.

Was thinkin' about your tumble. Forgot about your back! Sorry.

Even the dog thinks so.
I think he is going to wait for wed to poop.

You should keep a "doggie dookie diary."

dontwantaname wrote:Oh, I can walk to that.
No good donuts there.

I'll eat donuts, but not often. I'd rather have cinnamon buns or coffee cake.

I had to go stand in the rain for him to pee.
Getting wet by himself...no go.
Getting wet with a human...OK.

No; but you're obsessed with it.

Donuts for me, either glazed or jelly filled. But it's hard to find a good jelly-filled donut. Either too much or not enough jelly.

dontwantaname wrote:Oh, health food!

yeah, health food.

Glazed are okay; don't like filled donuts, jelly or custard. I prefer cake donuts.

Ew, don't like cake donuts at all.

dontwantaname wrote:Glaze are tricky because some are cake and some are that lighter type donut.
I don't want cake glazed.

I'm going to have to get wet for this dog to go.
Or wait for wed.

Never had a glazed cake donut.

It's glazed yeast donuts for me. I could eat them until I turned into a dirigible if I could eat them more than just one occasionally.

Krispy Kreme!!!

Only good if still warm!

Could easily eat a dozen of their warm glazed donuts. The only one near us closed.

Son's friend just came and picked up the upright freezer we don't want anymore. Bought July '71, still working just fine.

I hear ya!!

dontwantaname wrote:We only had one anywhere around here. Opened and closed in a few years.

Ours, too. When the announced one was opening there was a lot of excitement. (I'd never heard of them.) Only lasted a few years.

Yeah, they flashed pretty quickly!

never had a Krispy Kreme here, but occassionally there'd be a special event that got a few dozen donuts here, they were never warm though.

7-11, Dunkin' Donuts, and Starbucks? Don't you guys have any good coffee out that way?

dontwantaname wrote:Guess ours was not the only one.

Aren't they big down south?

I had never heard of them until 2000 when I was in Atlanta.

My nose defines good, but my best friend's husband is a coffee roaster, I've met good before. It comes from quality beans roasted with care.

I like what I like. Smell is an indicator. Taste is what matters.

AZGman wrote:I like what I like. Smell is an indicator. Taste is what matters.

True, but if the smell is burnt or sludgy, there is no need to drink it. And at least out here, that's what those places have.

well, I like the krispy cremes OK, but they are a bit too soft for me. We have a place near here called Donut King whose donuts are just great. Plus, they always fill the box with glazed donut holes when you buy a dozen.

AZGman wrote:I like what I like. Smell is an indicator. Taste is what matters.

Smell makes a big difference. That's why I like a percolator. When I have card club here, people that don't generally drink coffee have some because it smells so good.

So, my taste in coffee is poor because I don't live in Wherever, Idaho?

Is your coffee approved of in Idaho?

Let me know what I'm suppose to like and where to get it.

I'm apparently not competent to judge my own likes and dislikes.

Now you're taking umbrage where none was intended.

pooflady wrote:Now you're taking umbrage where none was intended.

I've just been told I don't know good coffee and that aroma equals good taste. Of course I'm taking umbrage!!!

AZGman wrote:So, my taste in coffee is poor because I don't live in Wherever, Idaho?

I'm sure your coffe is fine, I wouldn't drink it, but I don't drink daily coffee and if you recall you started this discussion simply because I asked if it was possibe to get good coffee there. The stuff we used to have at work was horrid, leaving to get coffee was a valid reason to take a fleet vehicle into town. Plenty of people must drink coffee that they don't care about it other than it has caffiene and is hot because lots of places serve that. My grandpa drank that stuff, everyday all his life, but he didn't care what it tasted like as long as it was hot and woke him up.

I don't drink coffee often, so when I get a coffee I want it to be good, like getting a glass of wine with dinner, I don't just want grapes with alcohol I want something I can enjoy.

Idaho is hardly a snobby state, coffee included. I think the majority of the state wouldn't know good coffee if it was thrown on them, but then, a large population of the state doesn't drink any caffieneted beverages.... wherever I'm at we have a bit of a coffee culture, that gives us choices, I like those choices, but the reality is that we probably won't always live here. Since neither of us have spent much or any time back East I was inquiring whether coffee would be unavailable. I find some of the stuff that I take for granted is not normal other places. So therefore my question was more of wondering if such places even had an option (without it costing my first born child) for the occassional good cup of coffee that I like to do now and again, although I suppose I could just give it all up again.
