Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Coffee is often the only way for those with no afib to get theirs pumping... so I hear. I can tell you that sucralose will affect mine and I don't have any problems otherwise. Just know that if I consume, I can tell. So while I like some of the flavored waters I have to read the labels to be sure it isn't in there.

I am enjoying my coffee and catching up on you guys. Been leaving early for work all week and no time between feeding and leaving to check in. Today is a late start and I will be giving out samples of berries today -- ahhh, with whipped cream! It will be nice tonight to have strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries to snack. I'm a whipped cream lover and can just eat it with a spoon -- sans berries! Tomorrow it will be watermelon, plain. Fruitfull weekend. My chickens love me, at least they love the scraps.

I would LOVE a cookie with this coffee right now. Looks like I'm too late and they are all gone. My own fault.

Artificial sweeteners give me migraines. I have to carefully check ingredients as well.

Giving out samples of berries (with whipped cream) to whom? Yourself?
I picture @Mini Horses doing this:
MH to customer: would you like to sample some berries?
Customer: No thank you.
MH: Ok, then I'll sample it for you. Yum!

She did say "discourage" not "force you to avoid"

"discourage" is one of those code words the medical community uses in place of what they really mean. It's like that diabetic menu they give you in the hospital; 'diabetic' meaning tasteless, horrible, unpalatable, make you want to puke, with fake bacon soy burger, watered down milk, and other unseasoned crap a pig wouldn't touch. Or the heart icon on the name by your door, which means "He// NO, you ain't ever gonna get anything good to eat or drink here".
That marital "S" word is also "discouraged" as is anything else enjoyable and fun.
I already gave up alcohol, quit smoking again, and all kinds of other things...often think I might as well go ahead and just dig a hole and pull the sod in over me if this is what the 'golden years' are to be.

Well, yeah!! Especially if I am working ice cream It melts!

I am in different stores, WM mostly. Samples? Depends on the vender that has hired us. Some days I pour drinks, some days I cook chicken, steak, pork chops, other times cookies....fun! Now if you want to see grab & run, trying giving away Oreos in WalMart on a Saturday in the summer!! You are sought out.

ETA: We actually do not eat the samples during "on" time. We do normally taste prior to start to be able to answer customer questions about it....but, NEVER taste the beer/wines at anytime on sample day, in store. Yes, we all have to have State food certifications and follow all rules for handling, temps, storage, etc. I go thru a serious number of gloves. LOL

oh lord... why isn't that listed as enjoyable exercise and stress relief?


More should be better.

Because it can cause too much excitement?
