    This post was very interesting to read and gave some food for thought. I wonder about how the young man’s life would have been different if his mom had been more encouraging about his interest in the army. His life would have been on a totally different path. Sometimes to show someone you love them you have to set them free.

    I actually do understand this. The little brother of a friend of mine is off at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. My friend was understandably scared to death about her baby bro going into the Navy, as were her parents. But they have been smart and supportive of it all, and my friend shares her boot camp letters from little bro – and I tell her to include my pride and best wishes when she writes him back.

    I honestly cannot imagine being so smothering as to deny my children a chance at something that would make them happy. I realize that is incredibly easy to say given that I don’t have kids at the time being, but I also have a little brother and if he came to me and said, “This endeavour will make me happy” I would do everything in my power to help him make it happen.

    It’s not too late for your coffee shop youngster. It wouldn’t be wrong to simply ask about the military and how things may have changed. (And there may very well be other family dynamics that have changed, for better or worse.)

    On a selfish note – could you ask your little one what the marinade recipe for the awesome buy-on-the-street roasted corn is??? I loved it when we lived there and have yet to find a way to replicate it now that I am back in the States. (And I was too young at the time to stop and ask the question.) And tell him to dunk himself in Japanese culture, because it will be harder to find back here than he might think.

    And bless you for worrying about the little ones that aren’t even yours.

    I said long ago that I thought there should be coffee shops in libraries….. :)

    Same here, not sure if I could drink out of it either, but it is pretty “bad ass.”

    Everytime someone who has dumped on you when you die and return as a bird and get even with them by dumping something on their heads

    Coffee is very bad for HCV infected. First it will dehydrate you secondly it will raise your insuline levels which will make your meds (the interferon) useless. The quoted research of the halt-c project was very poorly and consists mainly of a questionaire. No double blind research nothing. A coffee hype is all thats left.

    • Marye Audet says:

      AH..but of all the hype out there…coffee hype is my favorite

      • Roelf (subscribed) says:

        That would be funny if peoples lives wouldn’t depend on it. The treatment against HCV means a sort of chemo therapy with awful crippling side effects that can take up to 72 weeks. If that fails because some stupid nitwit says coffee is good for you when it isn’t than thats no joke.

    I really want to read an up to date list of what all of the studies say are good and bad about coffee. However, I have a feeling that I’d have to write the list if I want to read it and it sounds like a lot of work.

    • Marye Audet says:

      Hey I can make it easy for ya…

      Coffee in the morning…Good
      Coffee at bedtime…bad
      Coffee when you have a cold…good
      Coffee when you are throwing up…bad
      Coffee any other time? Good

  8. Emily Wilkes says:

    I don’t think I could drink out of this cup at all, I’m terrified of snakes!

  9. Emily Wilkes says:

    It is sort of strange how I can drink a cup of coffee and fall right to sleep, but when I drink it in the morning it seems to wake me up. Maybe caffeine doesn’t have much of an effect on me.

  10. DianaHayes says:

    Cute, but I don’t know if I trust the handle.

  11. Emily Wilkes says:

    Yeah this traveling mug is awesome! I wouldn’t mind waking up to that positive message each morning.

  12. wendy miller says:

    this is one of the best sites ever,and you cant go wrong with the blissfully good tea,thanks

  13. My friend is a huge Wonderwoman fan, I’m passing these along to her.

  14. Mike Crimmins (subscribed) says:

    That’s just crazy talk! Although, I couldn’t agree with you anymore.

    There’s a lot of coffee experts that I’ve discovered are really great people. I’ve also come across some coffee snobs that are looking down from their tower that really taint the experience.

  15. Emily Wilkes says:

    Coffee really should be a social experience, I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s about the conversation, the warmth and the company.

  16. Cindy says:

    Love it. Food and drink should be the *companion* to wonderful company, not the star of it.

    Bottoms up!

  17. Some of my friends were asking for a recipe for chocolate mocha. I’ll pass this on to them.

  18. Ginger says:

    It’s hot out, but it still sounds yummy

  19. Mike Crimmins (subscribed) says:

    I could really go for one of those right about…now.

  20. oe says:

    I was not aware that soy milk contained casein……

    • Marye Audet says:

      while it does not contain milk casein it does contain a substance which acts very much like casein, to the point that many on a casein free diet cannot drink it.

  21. Mike (subscribed) says:

    That really is awesome. I wish there more stories like that one.
