The Coffee House

[limr31]

Oh I get it. My numbers are much smaller, but it's the same thing: more going out than is coming in. And I can guarantee you that in my case, it's not because of my extravagant lifestyle Not that it is for you, either, but I've seen plenty of people who get themselves in trouble because of unnecessary debt or expense.

Heading out to clear the latest round of snow. "Once more unto the breach..."

What does that mean, clear the snow? I've got one of these.........................

What is that? I don't even have one of those. Looks like a BBQ thingie.

it is the same thing. My budget might be a little bigger, but it is just money in money out. In one hand out the other. Doesn't mean i will have more money, just that i have more coming in and more going out. It isn't my money, i just collect it for the people i owe money too. If i collect less than i probably should be, the difference comes out of what i shoved away. Then i start really crunching corners and buy eight dollar windshield wipers and forty dollar old camera lenses.

I'm scanning more film from Arizona tonight. All the black and white stuff.

Right now I'm doing a roll of 35mm HP5. First, it is wonderfully flat, as opposed to Tri-X, which curls up like a mother jammer. Second...I am starting to like this just as much as Tri-X. Not as contrasty, but sometimes that allows for better tones in an image.

That's an ice scraper lol!! But I've used 'em for "clearing snow" off the windshield. All .25 inches of it!

Unnecessary? My GAS is directly related to my artistic ability. Yes, I have to buy a clue!

I'm sorry, sir. This is a coffee house. If you'd like something that claims to be coffee but only includes a tiny bit of coffee flavor mixed in with an over-sized cup of pure refined sugar, then I'm sure you can find another place to provide you with that. We will not.

We serve coffee. Sometimes cinnamon buns.

[minicoop1985]

YOUR MOM WAS $31!!!!!! oh, yeah, wrong place. Sorry. Carry on.

Lenny - you can translate that to "one double strength dark roast, black, no sugar, and a graham cracker"

Yeah, that's pretty much what people get, no matter what they order

(I'll admit that I tend to take milk in my coffee - whole milk is my preference. We just got a Keurig machine at work and even the strongest brew is a bit watery for me, so I drink that black. Never sugar in any of it. Blech. And yeah - dark roast is the way to go!)

Very well may I have a Death Wish Expresso? Out of curiosity, why would you put cinnamon on you BUNS??? Must be uncomfortable when you sit down.

Perhaps this is where the term "Sweet Cheeks" comes from.
